Damn, he's fixing to turn 28 but with all the National Team he's probably about 32 in basketball years.

That's my point. He seems bent on playing for France every year. This has led to more and more injuries of late, and will continue to be the case. If he wants to continue to carry the French flag in summer ball, fine, let him be someone else's problem.

Honestly though, I think it boils down to this summer. Going into a contract year, what does he do?

If he takes the summer off, recognizing the wear and tear on his body, I'm all for keeping him. The moment he steps on a plane to go fly and play for France, time to start making calls, R.C.



Did you even read the stats? The only statistically significant difference between the two is in PPG. Is 3.5 PPG worth an extra 10 million a year? If it is, I would hope you would have never offered one piece of criticism on this board of Jefferson this year.

Hill has a better assist to turnover ratio, is shooting better from the perimeter and line, rebounding better (a help considering we have 4 RPG Matt Bonner running around most nights), and he compliments Manu's game, which I think should carry some weight as we just extended the guy.
Aggie,

Please do a stats comparison between Parker and Hill for last year playoffs, will ya?
