The Spurs aren't trading for Gerald Wallace
Boston really doesn't want to pay Wallace the 10m he's owed in his final year.
Wallace doesn't have much left, and never had much to begin with. Taking him on for 10m would be pretty awful, but that draft pick is intriguing, considering what the Spurs front office could do with it.
If it's par the course, no effective free agents will come to SA. If that were to happen, is this one avenue the Spurs could explore?
Not sure how I'd feel about it, but just seeing what you guys think.

If any GM in the NBA is willing to take Parker, you listen, tbh..
It won't happen. But if the front office wanted to dump Parker...The Spurs aren't trading for Gerald Wallace
Yep. 14 million...
True, but no GM will listen.. Parker is likely going to retire a Spur.. (ugh)
The only way I don't see Tony retiring a Spur is if we trade him in his last year as an expiring contract. He didn't get a No-Trade clause in his extension (surprisingly), so that's a possibility.
Indiana could work IMO..they desperately need a PG, and Hibbert's contract is arguably even worse than Parker's, although I haven't checked the length..
Bird isn't really a good GM, either
Hibbert will be an UFA after next season, so I'd jump all over that if it were offered. He has a $15.5 Million player option for net season that he'll obviously pick up. Highly unlikely a trade of him for Tony would happen though, tbh. Tony's likely a Spur for 3 more years.Indiana could work IMO..they desperately need a PG, and Hibbert's contract is arguably even worse than Parker's, although I haven't checked the length..

Despite his play, I'm sure there are actually many GMs that would gladly take him and his salary. The question is what do they have to give up to get him.
If only Parker's extension was only for two years instead of three... that contract will be almost impossible to trade before the 3rd year. I also don't know if the PATFO would trade him anyways, unless it was a deal they couldn't refuse. I think they're loyal to Tony to a fault.
Didn't know his contract was ending, didn't look it up, as I said..
And ya, I doubt the Spurs ever trade Parker, despite his decline, realistically..
I'm sure there are, considering there are GMs that will probably give Rondo a contract this off-season
Tony isn't going anywhere, tbh... that's why you have to hope he turns back the clock or adjusts his game somehow...
OP, the going rate for 1st round picks is about 3M. Why would you essentially pay 3x the cost for one while ruining your shot at a FA?
Have the Spurs dropped that much that we are making threads considering Wallace now?
I thought perhaps that any thread that isn't a cliffjumpers manifesto, or a LeonardvParker wrestling match would be welcomed.
It is welcomed, but the proposition just isn't palatable. The Spurs are poised to have enough cap space to add a significant piece in free agency. They shouldn't give that up for Wallace, no matter who is available at the pick.
hibbert is a 7'2 center with cinderblocks for feet and a horrible rebounder. larry bird doesn't even want him on the roster next year.

Why are me and you the only ones who gets it El?????
Yeah....we know Parker sucks. He's been god-awful this year. But the guy isn't going anywhere. The sooner people realize it the better off they will be. I guess people will continue to celebrate his demise for the next 2 years....instead of wishing the guy "turns back the clock or adjusts his game."
He's not going to be traded, waived, or cut. Learn to live with it guys...
No way on Wallace. I could see them trading for Hibbert before that.
Right, I know Hibbert's not a good basketball player and I normally wouldn't want him either. But, in this case, I'd trade him for Tony, simply because he's a FA after next season and we could just let him walk, and we'd get Tony's horrendous contract off the books. That'd free up $43 Million dollars in cap space over the next 3 years..

Because nobody likes to eat a sammich. Three more years of this would be pretty freaking brutal. Let's just hope he figures something out from here on out...
oh okay
Hibbert is one of the tiest and most overrated big men in the NBA, but Parker isn't any better, tbh..the difference is that Pop has no obligation or loyalty to Hibbert, he wouldn't think twice about benching him..
