Simmons really showed up, when he`s got his real chance, and those are the playoffs. He`s not young, but I believe he hasn`t shown his all. There is still plenty of place to grow in fields like shooting, team defense, decision making.
I was referring to Parker's playoff run..it was a nice end to his career, tbh, but it shouldn't have any bearing on the future..
Yeah of course, I would want to get rid of him, even if injury wouldn`t occur. No idea, why I thought you were saying about Simmons. I really would try to shop his deal to team needing to add salaries - Kings, 76ers. If you stay with him after the comeback, you`ll have to sign him for next 2 years or something, and he won`t play for vet min.
He might be the most overrated Spurs role player ever (though I still I have S Jax ahead). Mills being a great character guy has enhanced his reputation as a basketball player in an unwarranted manner.
Gary Neal-- a player with similar skillset-- had close to the same contribution to this team throughout the years, but he didn't have an international appeal to go with a quirky English accent and didn't "get over himself" in the end. As a result he hasn't been held in the same regard by Spurs fans.
Patty has been living off few back-breaking shots against the Heat three years ago-- when every Spur and their mother were hitting them, really. The idea that he has bailed out Parker during that run is an even bigger falsehood. Manu and Diaw were the primary "secondary playmakers" during that run when TP was hobbled and in-and-out of the line up.
Spurs need to move on.. Their whole approach to roster reconstruction in next few years should prioritize Talent/Fit > Culture/Character..
Pretty damn solid take.
Nice one Spursistan
Parker is done...if he doesnt retire, make him a backup...Murray needs to be our starter...if we cant resign mills for cheap, let him go and get another sharpshooting PG that isnt scared to shoot like Forbes is
Parker will likely return sometime after the all-star break, how long after and how effective remains to be seen. Murray should get a ton of playing time. Hopefully he can add weight, dribble lower and develop something other than a high arcing floater, an inefficient low percentage shot. Pop will never do it but would be a good year to tank and reload.

I admire the way he was playing in the post-season before the injury, but he's merely a shadow of his former self.
It seems that every away announcer I watched this year was making comments about his dramatic drop-off, and what it meant for the Spurs.
Everything great must come to an end, and I think he should hang up his sneakers. A stellar career...finis.
More critically, is this the end of the David Lee era?
