My thoughts on this thread is...

First of all thanks for sharing your idea portnoy1.

Secondly, no, trading Parker away for Calderon will hurt the spurs with out a doubt. What spurs really need is a scoring PG and Parker is a great fit to the system. Calderon is a playmaker and always think of passing first before shooting.

With that being said, I do think Calderon is a good PG. Definlately the better ones in the east

my bottom line is i just want parker to look for his teammates more instead of the rim cause' he can score anytime he wants to.

Sure!
I don't want a player that can do that in my team!

fair enough. but once again the future. 3 yrs from now parker cant just dump the ball in to tim when he's in trouble or let manu do his thing in the 4th quarter because they both might be retired. He will have to learn to be the man and do more than score.

That's called adapting your game and that's what he did so far...
When he scored 55, we, unfortunatly, needed them at that time...
Manu was/is so far the best FT shooter so he has the ball in his hands at the end...
There are so many examples!!!

When parker won finals MVP he was the only guy scoring on a non-high scoring series. He a great gaurd, I repeat a great gaurd but a terrible point gaurd. you know its true.

A PG's job (like every other player on the team) is to fill whatever role his coach wants him to.

Tony does that. There's really no valid argument otherwise.

what do you think it will take for the spurs to win this year? in your most honest opinion.

A good Big to help Tim: won't happen
An elimination of the Lakers before the WCF
A 100% Manu
Being healthy

The team is basically the same other than that swap. What say you?

No Rasho

calderon plays like nash, both are overrated and will be exposed by tp

I love Jose, but the loss of TJ Ford has been huge because the duo of Ford AND Calderon together was what was so effective. On any given night, one usually had a great game, and they brought different skill sets to the team that could benefit them depending on the match-up.

Jose has a nice assist to turnover ratio because of how he plays and for whom he plays. He does not make mistakes in passing because he rarely makes anything but the obvious safe pass. He also is on a team that has some really good shooters by virtue of how the team is constructed so he gets good assist numbers. He is definitely the worst defensive starting PG in the NBA.

One way in which I disagree with timvp is his statement that the Raptors have better perimeter players now. Parker was better 2 seasons ago and they surely miss Delfino. If they were so sure they wanted to trade TJ, they should have done it for a wing player- stuck with Andrea starting and brought Rasho off the bench.

I takes 5 pages to figure out that Parker is better than Calderon? Gimme a break.

Nop, it takes 5 pages to let the OP know just how stupid his idea is.

The guy who start this trade only post about 37 times. He questioned Parker's game and judging by number of assist alone. Another teams fan undercover? could be,but maybe not. One thing is for sure, definitely this guy didnt watch enough Spurs games to understand the importance of TP to Spurs success,but there will be uninformed people like that. Calderon is a good BACKUP point guard and he definitely can shoot free throws or three. But compared to TP he is a nobody. It is really stupid analysis to judge TP like that,his game is improving including his jumpshots, he slash other team' defense and he can play defense. On playoffs or when it needed (such as SA vs suns he end up pass the ball to open Mason with couple of seconds left and won the game). The most important to do is pass the ball in the times of need which create winning shots. Dont just look at stats and yap yap like a moron. He is young,quick,able to shoot and definitely able to tear other teams defense apart let alone will be key for SA fastbreak if there;s any. He is a playoff's MVP with all stars game experience,let alone helping Duncan lead this team. Big 3 cannot be separated unless age factors and rebuilding comes to play,even idiots knows that (We havent need to rebuild and we already got solid rookies in Mason and Hill). Really idiot analysis. If we dont have George Hill than I would trade Bonner for him. Fact that both Bonner and Hill play well put the idea to the window. As for assist, TP still able to improve not to mention rookie Hill. Please dont put any more joke,that would be appreciated,thanks...
