Parker expects Duncan and Ginobili to return next season

Tony Parker thinks he knows whether his fellow members of the Big 3 will return next season or retire this summer. 

Here's what the 33-year-old had to say about the futures of Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, per the San Antonio Express-News' Jeff McDonald:

"I think they’re both going to play one more year. I’m trying to be positive. I’ve talked to them and told them what I think. Now it’s their decision. It’s a very personal decision.”

Nobody knows what Duncan or Ginobili will do, even Duncan and Ginobili. But the Spurs are surely hoping both return, possibly at a reduced rate that will let San Antonio sign a productive free agent.
