[FONT=&quot]Tony Parker has agreed to a two-year deal worth $10 million to join the Charlotte Hornets. Parker leaves the San Antonio Spurs after 17 seasons, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports.

[FONT=&quot]The Spurs were reportedly trying to bring Parker back in a mentorship role. Parker saw his starting point guard duties diminished with the arrival of Dejounte Murray. He also missed time with a quadriceps injury and finished last season with 7.7 points, 3.5 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game in 55 games played.

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]In March, Parker told a French news outlet that he wants to continue playing and is open to not playing with the Spurs to finish out his career. San Antonio drafted Parker with the 28th overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft.

[FONT=&quot]Unless Parker returns in the future, he would fall just two seasons short of Tim Duncan's Spurs record of 19 seasons with the team. Parker wants to play at least 20 years in the NBA.

[FONT=&quot]The Denver Nuggets were also reportedly interested in Parker.

[FONT=&quot]Parker will be reunited with new head coach James Borrego, who has been an assistant with the Spurs, Pelicans and Magic since 2003.[/FONT]

He has nothing left.

Should have signed for 1 million and retired a Spur.

He`s going to sit on the bench for 2 years.

Bad way to go out.

Very depressing - God forbid Manu went to LA or GS - maybe now Leonard will want to come back to SA - believe it was Parker that held the team meeting to call him a soft bitch to his face

Why not retire? Big Spurs fan here for over a decade. I agree. Anything other than a Spurs jersey is a travesty.
