How do we convince Parker to retire a year earlier?
We? No one gives a what Spurstalkers think, least of all Gasol.How do we convince Gasol ...
/thread
Clippers currently have the best record in the West and just obliterated the Spurs at home a couple nights ago.. why on earth would CP3 want to leave Los Angeles for San Antonio right now..?
Because no matter how well the Clips do in the regular season, they will never make it past the second round but if he joins the Spurs he will be part of an organization that has gone beyond that. It's something for him to think about.
History is absolutely meaningless in the post-Duncan universe.
On that note I do wonder if Spurs would be more inclined to trade players in this era than they previously were...
It's premature to say Gasol/LMA will not work out. Last season the SL in particular didn't start off well and they had to be bailed out by the bench a lot. LMA started deferential, with Danny also in a terrible shooting slump... this season it's something else.
By mid to end of December or so we should start to see some improvement or it would be time to raise the alarm. I haven't liked Pau on defense, but they have time go get it together yet...
Problem for me personally, the guys that have any real value are either untradeable (well, without sweetener) or are guys like LMA and Gasol who I just don't see Pop ever trading. I personally would like to retain Kawhi, Danny, Patty and Deadman. So, I think the Spurs are in a trade straight jacket unless they do something that I personally don't want to see or would be a bummer for me.
Best hope is an amnesty provision to get Parker out of there. The truth is that both he and Pau need to go for the Spurs to have room to offer a max contract.
They could if they meet these Spurs in the second round.
...or they could just trade Porker for a PG then use the Bird Rights to re-sign the newly acquired player.
In any case, Pau would most likely opt-out if he was forced to come off the bench.
It would be very difficult to go after CP3 and keep Dedmon too, unless he s the bed for the rest of the season.
I'll be livid if Pau and Parker prevent us from making a move. It was already a longshot to move Parker and now we have to deal with Pau.
Because there's more to life than 1 reg season game in early November, against a Spurs team that had played 7 games in 12 days and flown from coast to coast across the country.
Tbh
Just put him on the bench or tell him he's needed for defense purposes.
Introduce Tony to Pau's wife.
Way too early. Started 5-2 after opening with 7 games in 12 nights in 5 cities. The Clips look great, but they also have had the least change of any top team. At this time of year that means a lot.
Isn't that supposed to be the plan in 2018 when both of them are FAs?
It probably is. But this thread was talking about CP3 in 2017
It wasn't just the clippers game.. he hasn't been playing well in general IMO (and his stats back my eye test up)... but I did state it was too early same as you... so I guess we agree on something.
We won't need to convince anyone. Pau, Patty, Nico, B3RTANS, Tony and Manu are getting deported as soon as January tbh
I think the new President has already taken care of that
