Parker is the one that seemed to always refer to Pop as a father more than the other big 3 from what I've seen.
Probably a lot has to do with Pop putting trust in him at 19 yrs of age but also getting after him so much, especially during his first few years.
Because of that, I can see Parker truly taking the backup pg position without complaints if that's what Pop truly wants and asks of him even though we think that he has too much of an ego to accept a backup role

Let's see the "Porker"stans try to twist this one.
wouldn't be surprised if that is how it goes in the beginning.
I wouldn't mind TP off the bench.

In all fairness, Murray has to play up to the pressure.
That 15 rebound game was amazing. Following it up with 0/3/3 was not. That's how you lose your spot in the rotation.
Agreed on both.
yeah, it will depend on how murray is performing at the time and how far along tony is. pop may not want to alter team chemistry if the team is clicking. on the other hand, if murray regresses and the team is in a funk, that could change how this plays out. but it's definitely a realistic scenario.
It's the Spurs; he's not going to lose his spot by following a great game with a ty one (let's be real, he's a second-year player and will have inconsistencies). He'll lose his spot if he doesn't do what the coaching staff wants him to do.
He would only be following the lead of Manu in coming off the bench and to some extent Tim in playing less minutes. This is an ethic that has been drillled into them over their careers and I believe Tony would follow the tradition of what's best for the team.
If he wants to play as long as he wants... he better be willing to come off the damn bench.
If he can come back from the injury Parker off the bench >>>>>>> than 50Mills off the bench.
I'd like to get paid 50 mil for providing "culture" in a group...
That sounds like a great job!
definitely, and it will probably be easier to manage his minutes if he comes off the bench as well.
Porker fluffer spotted. They still exist guys.![]()
I hope he feasts on opposing subs if he's coming off the bench.
Him, Manu and going Gay would be the thing to make a 5 point lead a 15 pointer by the time they left the court.
Hopefully.
Agreed. I've stated numerous times I love his potential like everyone else but for me to create pat on the back threads and acknowledge the "I told you so" people..I need at LEAST a month of solid consistent play..
Spurs don't need to rush Parker back either..the more time Murray has being in rotation or with his current role the better it'll be for the Spurs and Murray
50Mills and Gasol do great post-game dinner.
You don't lose your starting job to injury.
