Definitely not off to a good start! It looks bad. Yet, Pop seems to like him and I can see why, to some degree.

I wasn't the hugest TP fan, but I did like him. I guess I always took the Pop approach with him and got on him when he messed up more than someone like Manu or TD, but that is also because I thought he could do better. I don't think TP is as bad of a person as some people make him out to be. I used to think he's a bit arrogant, but I don't think I was correct on that as I do recall a French fan or two saying he's not and he's a decent guy most of the time.
Sidy's passing and size are too intriguing not to continue development. Especially in Pops system where he wants players passing the ball to find better shots.
whether he sticks around will be based on 2 things, what he shows this season by way of growth/development, and what we are able to do during the offseason.
his contract for next year is non-guaranteed. 500k of it guarantees on August 1, well after free agency/draft/trade frenzy would be over. if we need the roster spot or the cap clearance, he can be unceremoniously cut.
there's intrigue with him for sure, but he seems a ways away from being an nba rotation player.
tp3 going to charlotte says enough tbh.
Player Brent Barry was long gone by then. Supposedly, the Spurs wanted Tony to stay, and offered him equal money, but he wasn’t feeling a reserve role. Too bad, because that was the year DJ blew out his knee,and Tony would have started anyway.
point being that the spurs were fine with letting him go.
also: tony signed with CHA in 2018. spurs hired brent barry to be VP the same year.
ain't you the same guy who said the Spurs would never draft 3 first round picks in the same year because they don't have enough personell to develop them?
And then did I turn around and say they would two posts later? It’s not the same thing.
I wasn’t in favor, and supposedly they tried to trade, but got no takers. happens.
Everyone has some misses, but this guy is just weird.
I don't think TP is a bad person either, I think he lacks a lot of emotional and social intelligence, probably bc he's been so focued on himself and his goals since a very young age.
In the end he's an overachiever when u remember he came into the league as a PG wo can't pass or shoot (). I'm in awe on the career he had tbh
Now again, we don't know the real facts as much for the Barry situation nor the way he ended his story with the Spurs, the devil is always in the details, 2 sides of a coin etc
I could be wrong, but I saw it as TP wanting to keep being a starter with an important role and probably a inability or unwillingness to mentor Murray
Cp3 was quite honest about his motivations to keep balling too. I believe a lot of player care about their playing time and role more than extending their career as much as possible.
Regarding Tony Parker, I was wondering if he is still with/around the Spurs in any capacity these days? I know I have seen interviews and interactions with him about Wemby, just wondering if TP and the Spurs are still on good terms overall. Also, how about Timmy? I saw him in the draft night war room clip a couple months ago so I figured he is still with the Spurs in some way, what is his capacity these days as well?
He was there during Salaun workout in the practice facility.
Brent had an affair with an intern and she divorced him, end of story. Had nothing to do with TP. She's a class act.
