I don't care if Manu and Tony both can never play basketball again because playing for your national team is an honor and is important.
This tournament means nothing. Nice job Parker. Duncan is the only one with some brains.

It means enough.....at least it wasn't a pick up game game out at UTSA or something.
At least it was from a motorcycle or something truly stupid.
That's why I love Spurstalk.
And so begins the penultimate CIAPop plan of all time.
Parker's broken finger morphs into a season ending wrist injury.
Manu tweaks his back in the World Championship gold medal game and is out for the season.
Duncan mysteriously rolls his ankle about 10 games into the season, and the Spurs end up with the third worst record in the league, and somehow win the lotto ball pull and select Greg Oden with the #1 pick of the 2007 NBA Draft.
Hey, it could happen.
You mean there will be another one after this, the penultimate plan?
Id be downfor Aggie's idea.
Only problem is they would have Jackie Butler, and Elson in 07 08.
Doubtfull its happening
I'm down.
This is not going to happen, but could you imagine for a second if it happens?
The Spurs would be one the most hatred franchises in the NBA... Robinson-->Duncan, then Duncan-->Oden... nah... stop dreaming.
Oden
Duncan
Bowen
Manu
TP
Twin Towers II with this backcourt... Holly !!
You're right, the Spurs would obviously pass on Oden to draft a guard.Id be downfor Aggie's idea.
Only problem is they would have Jackie Butler, and Elson in 07 08.
Doubtfull its happening
Oden is not the next DROB or Timmy. Sorry, but he isn't. He will never lead any team to a championship - he may ride the wagon with other great players to one.
maybe he hasn't played enough pocket pool to build up strength in this hands.
tpark go wave your ing flag in someone elses yard don't wave it around in ours asshole
X-rays reveal Parker has fracture near tip of right index finger

The World Championships don't end for another 16 days, but they already have taken their toll on the Spurs.
One day after Bruce Bowen was left off the United States' roster, the Spurs learned Tony Parker has a fracture near the tip of his right index finger.
X-rays taken in Japan on Thursday revealed the break. Because of the 15-hour time difference, the Spurs' training and medical staffs have had trouble contacting Parker to assess the injury's severity.
Conflicting reports from France have added to the confusion. One said Parker almost certainly won't play in France's opening game against Manu Ginobili and Argentina on Saturday. Another said Parker might try to practice today with his index finger padded and taped to his middle finger.
Parker was injured when his finger was caught in the jersey of Brazil's Leandro Barbosa in France's tuneup game Tuesday.
Bowen, meanwhile, returned to Miami on Thursday afternoon. Jerry Colangelo, managing director for the U.S. team, said he invited Bowen to stay with the team even though he wasn't going to be on the roster. Bowen opted to return home and see his family.
"It was most difficult (to cut Bowen) because he's such a classy guy and because he was very committed to making this team," Colangelo said. "He took it in a very classy way. He thanked me and the coaching staff for the opportunity, and he wished us well."
U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said Bowen was left off the roster, in part, because of concerns over the team's frontline depth. Houston's Shane Battier and Washington's Antawn Jamison were needed, Krzyzewski said, because they possibly could help at power forward.
Well at least Bruce can be with his wife and baby now and get ready for the season.
By the way Manu said he ran into Tony at the hotel.

I was with Tony Parker in the hotel. We chatted awhile. I did not ask anything to him of the injury, logically, but he said to me that he thought that he was broken. Later we talked of which each one did during the vacations, where we passed it and where we began to work with the selection and against whom we played. As it is with Diaw in the room, also it was added when char it. Surely we will become to find in the hotel.
suck it up teasip.tpark go wave your ing flag in someone elses yard don't wave it around in ours asshole
Im never going away, so you better part the dreadlocks take down your howard dean poster and deal with reality.
Im going nowhere face.
Barbosa's a little . I bet he injured Parker on purpose.
This is idiotic. Since when are NBA teams paying for raising the kids? Who the is taking care for European and Southamerican kids? NBA? Yeah, right. It's the national associations + clubs. NBA has draft system. D-R-A-F-T What does that mean? It means that clubs pick the players they like...out from thousands of players all over the world (only a small percentage of those actually get to draft). They don't have to care about U-18, U-16, U14, U-10,... teams. Well guess what - European teams can't even exist without those selections. It's mandatory. The comfortable NBA teams' existance comes with a price : salaries. They need to pay the player more. They didn't invest once cent in that player before the draft night and now they have to pay the price for that. For every player NBA team chooses on the draft night, there are thousands of players who were raised from 8 years of age by their clubs and national associations... and that's a lot of money. And lot of dedication. NBA understands that. It's only such ignorant pricks as yourself who can't grasp it.
the bubbleboy from Seinfeld posts here, his name is Tpark
damn that sucks for tony. i hope he gets better when the season starts.
Still waiting for TPark to respond...
first off PRICK you.For every player NBA team chooses on the draft night, there are thousands of players who were raised from 8 years of age by their clubs and national associations... and that's a lot of money. And lot of dedication. NBA understands that. It's only such ignorant pricks as yourself who can't grasp it.
Second off, the player CHOOSES to come to america.
If he WANTED TO he could stay in europe, play in europe, and do whatever.
BUT THE DAY he chooses to come to america, the DAY he chooses that buyout money from the team, is the DAY he is now commited to the NBA team and the DAY, he signs that long term contract for 6 years 66 MILLION, is the day he is commited to that said team.
You can say all about well well these clubs brought em up.
Once again, the PLAYER chose that.
If a player comes to me and says, I wnat to continue playing for your team but I want this much money, you say, look, I pay you that much, you have an obligation to be COMMITED to this team, and you stay healthy and workout and work on your game for the TEAM that pays you that money.
All of you guys saying it doesnt matter what you pay, you americans blah blah blah.
Dont blame us, blame the player for ACCPETING.
This is what you anarchists call "selling out" I guess.
Still waiting for TPark to respond...
Go put your Beno jersey on and sing the Barney theme errr the Slovenian national anthem chief.
Meh. If the NBA teams thought it was so important they could've made it part of the contract.
Of course Tony would be a Hawk now had we tried to pull that....
