I really don;t think he will. I think he'll be used sparingly. His offensive game isn't developed enough yet to log major minutes and his lack of shooting ability will allow defenders to sag off of him and clog the lanes.
Nando getting minutes in the playoffs is just as frightening to me.

How many minutes is Parker playing in the playoffs? 38 to 40 minutes which leaves 8 to 10 minutes for that backup PG? I can see those minutes allocated to Manu but with Manu's health, I don't feel too safe in that regard. But saying that, if Manu isn't healthy, this team isn't going anywhere so there's that which makes it a moot point.
Is it me or are the Spurs involved in a lot of these rumors? Moreso than normal? Even if it is BS by one source or another.
CIA Pop. All about increasing the value of players known to be on the block.
No. The rumors are mostly created by the media. The Spurs probably aren't even aware of half the them.
I would say it's more the agents of players. Hearing the Spurs are interested is validation for the player.
I truly believe that a trade is in the works..
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=bfe2ay6 + a draft pick
or
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=b3ccvrr + 1st round pick
Anyone?
The media creates a lot of them. The rest are usually started by the GM's of team's who are trying to drumb up more interest from around the league to possibly get a better deal for their player. I suspect that's what happened with Utah and the LAC. When the Clips found out about the Al Jefferson rumors, the Clips quickly went for the block offering up Bledsoe for Milsap. Now that the Spurs are out on Al, the Clips are content to stand pat. I don't think there was any real interest in Jefferson but the Clippers couldn't take that chance.
I'm delirious from the trade deadline
Its what happens when you have expiring contracts
Both the Cavs and the Magic have 15 players under contract. You can't do a 3 for 2 trade with either.
Im serious, Spurs better make a few trade regarding our length in the power forward position or shooting guard position. I was wondering all these time on why didnt spurs pick up gortat or asik when they werent valuable? Now, they let cole aldrich with the rockets trade and didnt try to pick rashard lewis from miami tells me Spurs are too ignorant to everything else but their system. Piss me off!!!
Really? Are you really saying that Cole Aldrich would put us over the top?
Thats just moronic.
What about Bonner + 1st rounder for Scola ? Phoenix got Morris twins, so Scola would only took theirs minutes. He`s got decent contract with 9mln/2yrs left. And he`s a heluva of a players. Why not ?
Edit:
In before Bruno explain to me. Scola cannot be trade until 1 July 2013.
Scola can't be traded before July 1st (that's the rule for claimed amnestied players).

Speaking of the Thunder and Spurs, while neither is expected to do anything overly serious, both are quietly doing their due diligence, and could pull off something at the last minute that gives them an edge.
Rumors of the Thunder potentially making a play for Phoenix center Marcin Gortat (for Kendrick Perkins), and the Spurs’ possibly entering the Josh Smith raffle, are real.

Oh, well
False hope tbh.. Wish it was true though.
The idea of the Thunder trading Perkins seems frightening and more likely to happen than us getting Smith...
That said it would be very exciting if the FO could pull off a Smith trade regardless of what anyone else does. Wonder which one of Green/Tiago they'd be willing to part with, can't imagine a trade that doesn't include at least one of the two.
if you actually read my post, it never said anything about putting us over the top. I just think cole Aldrich will provide us an added depth that we need in the playoff, especially Rashard Lewis. I believe Lewis would have provided us the great threat we needed and the added length to guard the power forward position. Lewis would have been a better prospect than getting josh smith. If you say smith is better, please look at YouTube videos. Smith doesn't play off the ball. He plays off the dribble. He sucks. I think the spurs should stop being so traditional and open up to other possibilities. As much as I like to deny it, our championship run is closing. The time for championship is now, no exceptions. If we fail to get a le this year, it is due to our ignorant ways.
Rashard Lewis? Better than Josh Smith? Sorry buddy but you're way off here. Rashard Lewis is averaging 5 points a game this year for a reason.
