NBA Free Agency, Trade and Rumours Roundup: 6th July - Melo and OKC to part ways, Tony Parker will no longer be a Spur and more

#2 Tony Parker signs a two-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets

San Antonio Spurs v Golden State Warriors - Game Five

Tony Parker is one of those players who cannot be associated with any jersey other than the one that he's worn for the last 17 seasons. The Frenchman, however, has parted ways with the Spurs organization this offseason, signing a 2-year, $10 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets in a move that could see him culminating his career in North Carolina.

The veteran point guard has had his struggles ever since the Spurs won their last NBA title in 2014. Injuries, his own natural aging and a league-wide change in emphasis towards a 3-pointer-heavy offensive style have accelerated his fall from a perennial All-Star to a backup point guard.

Parker is a cerebral player, and most likely will have a much greater impact on the Hornets franchise than Michael Carter-Williams, who was their backup point guard last season. $10 million over 2 years for a player with his ability, even today, is a pretty even deal.
