After last season, Tony Parker said that he planned to pursue a career in the NBA, but he did not say he would continue to play in the San Antonio Spurs tricot. From the beginning of his career, the Frenchman has been associated with the Spurs team, but the information about the alternative options of an experienced point guard can be heard in the league corridors.
Tony Parker, when he was in full health without a shadow of doubt, belonged to the group of the best NBA point guard. His time spent with San Antonio Spurs will give him a place at the Hall of Fame basketball. However, it is still unclear whether Parker will continue his career with Greg Popovich. In the previous season, the Frenchman returned to the game after a quadriceps injury. In 55 matches, he scored on average 7.7 points and 3.5 assists - in terms of statistics, the worst season in the Frenchman's career.
Parker after the 2017/2018 season hit the market of free agents. Several teams have expressed their interest in bringing Tony into the reserve role. Among those most interested in Charlotte Hornets and Denver Nuggets. In San Antonio, they are constantly trying to come up with a plan of action. In the meantime, they are continuing negotiations on Kawhi Leonard, who asked the general manager - R.C. Buford for transfer. It is difficult to predict how this situation will develop.
It is not known if Parker will want to wait for the team's move and may decide sooner. Hornets have to use money from the mid-level exception, while Nuggets can only offer the minimum for a veteran. The new coach of the team from Charlotte was James Borry, whom Parker knows well from his time with Popovich. The 36-year-old Tony may already have a heavily damaged body, but his experience and the ability to support the development of younger players for many teams are a very interesting advantage.
