What Tony get?...2 years $10 million.
The Spurs couldn't give TP9 $5mill a year?
But no one cares.
Still the greatest Spurs Guard of all time.
Spurs made the right choice of letting him go. He was the worst hornet, but man..he deserves more resepct.
He never was treated the same way ad Ginobili

Not better than Ginobili or Gervin IMO. Still a great player.
The official story is that the Spurs matched the offer but couldn't match the playing time so Parker chose where he would get more playing time.
Apa couldn't walk away.
I've never been less excited about an upcoming Spurs season than I am this year. I miss Tim, Tony and Manu.
Manu was better, didn't a teammate's wife, get jealous of Danny hitting 3's in the Finals, and oh yeah, he didn't a teammate's wife. Great, HOF, and best Spurs PG of all-time though, tbh.
Wow I didn't even know they were playing already. Crazy
no, that's not the official story.
tony said the spurs offered something similar.
Any highlight?
i think i've said it on here before, i really wouldn't be surprised if tony got traded.
The Spurs offered him the same contract but he chose the Hornets for playing time and a bigger role. Nothing more the Spurs could have done it was his choice to sign with Hornets and leave the Spurs. He still should be a member of this team imo. They played him off the bench and 9 mins, lol. Of course it was a preseason game but yikes Spurs could do the same for playing time so far. I could definitely see him wanting to come back to Spurs at some point.
I doubt it he had 0 points. Maybe a nice assist or something.
he has more friends on the hornets then on this disaster of a team. I think he will have more fun over there whether he plays well or not,
I’m gonna miss seeing tony in a spurs uniform.. weird turn of events
all of their NBA peers consider Tony to be the best spur guard ever tbh
I assume you mean current players?
There was a guy named Gervin, you know. I think he would be first on the guard list. Greatest point guard? Tony is that for sure.
Tony was an awesome player for SA for a long long time. This year will be a little weird to be honest.
Not seeing him in a Spurs jersey is a beautiful sight.
omg
i dont think its minutes or the low ball offer...
he open his big mouth about kawhis injury compared to his...and yes, spurs probably had enough of his bs...
Regardless of how everyone feels about him, it was weird to see him in that Hornets jersey.
Dude has been here since 2002. Think about all thats changed in the world since the last time he wasn't on the Spurs roster. pretty long time.
I wish he had stayed to mentor personally but don't blame him for leaving either.
Tony Parker is a 36-year-old undersized guard who cannot shoot the three in today's NBA. The only reason for him to be in the league still would be for him to be a team leader for a rebuilding / arguably compe ive Spurs team (for which his legacy is based upon) instead of going to a team full of scrubs that may actually give him less minutes when they discover that he's a traffic cone.
Diva to the end.“The Spurs will always be home. San Antonio will always be a big part of my life. At the end, I just felt like the Hornets wanted me more.”
Cap Jax opined that he was doing that at the behest of Pop (as would be the culture for something like this). But if he was speaking out of turn, then you probably have something here.
Facts tbh. Only a dozen salvadoreans on this forum think otherwise.
Parker has the better stats and individual accomplishments (and it isn't close)
Manu should be compared to Eric Gordon, not a top 5 PG of all time.
Wonder what they could have got for him in 2009 or 2010?
still semi surprised the hornets even wanted him. their third string PG should be getting more PT than tony... same situation as it was in sa
hornets' third stringer played twice as much as tony last night. and much better too.
