In my mind, it's pretty clear this was Parker's last game as a San Antonio Spur. I don't think anyone will say his play was a contributing factor for the Spurs to lose this year. If anything, he was one of the players who showed the most heart out there in these playoffs.
With that being said, the Spurs' need to bring someone in combined with the play of George Hill will most likely result in the departure of Parker, the Spurs' most valuable trade asset. It's sad to see him go, but it's necessary. San Antonio will have to lose its All-Star in hopes to fill other voids.
The only consolation is that Richard Jefferson might get attached in a Parker package. If that gets done, the Spurs can really reload themselves for a good run in 2010-11.
Good bye, Tony Parker, 2007 NBA Finals MVP. It was a great ride and have nothing but good memories.
Good luck.
George Hill averaged 0.8 assists per game in the postseason.
The Spurs plan for Hill to be the starting SHOOTING guard, not PG.
So I don't have any idea how you concluded that this was Parker's last game.
Huh? Why would the Spurs trade Parker?
I admire the confidence in your prediction. You almost make it seem like he's already been traded.
+1. Hill is being groomed for manu's replacement not Parkers.

if there's one thing the playoffs have exposed, it is that Hill is NOT A PG. god, TP is our most consistent spur, injuries and all, and this is what he gets. he only gets traded for an elite PG, and you know that's not going to happen, because no one will be crazy enough to let go of their elite PGs, and i'm confident the Spurs would not be that crazy to do so.
Tony's not going anywhere... nor should he.
We should start a Rogue's Gallery of everyone who wants Parker traded so that Hill can be the starting point guard.
If the Spurs plan is for George Hill to be the long-term solution at SG then their FO is a uva lot dumber than I thought. You can't compete in this league with a 6-2 shooting guard.
Tony will leave when Tim and Manu do
Tell Eric Gordon and OJ Mayo that. All are within 2 inhes of each other.
TP is going to L.A
Tony loves SA.
When I first saw the le; I thought this was going to be a thank you to Parker for how he did in the playoffs all the way to the end...
Mayo is 6-4 and Gordon is 6-3 and weighs 222 lbs. Both are significantly bigger than Hill. However, they are both still smallish for the SG position and you will note that neither were in the playoffs as well.
Tony stays... if we manage to move RJ, I see a contract extension as soon as that happens.
Took you that long to look up their stats? And you think the reason they arent in the playoffs is because they are undersized at the 2 spot? lol really?
And for the record, tlong...you do know your guy B. Roy is 6-6 and only weighs 211.
You really think a 6-2 shooting guard is a good idea? Really?
Why not put a 6-0 shooting guard out there? Hey, he would only be 2 inches shorter than Hill!
