Spurs options with Parker:
Blockbuster trade in Feb or S&T over the next summer.
The Spurs are too smart to allow him to walk away without compensation.

i would think gallanari is a must if a trade did happen with newyork, gallanari has more upside than anyone in my opinion or this just might have to be a 3 team trade
trade him now, don't just let him walk

If the Spurs don't trade this guy they will be the biggest fucking idiots since the Knicks
It's the New York Post people. Please consider the source before making any assumptions.
His other best friend, Turiaf, plays for the Knicks.
If he's going to be traded then it doesn't matter because its over.Quote:

If Tony would rather play with Amare and Melo than Tim and Manu[for more $$$] than he has reduced himselt to a MARBURY.
If a man or woman knows they have one foot out the door they can never emotionially commit to the former lover. Fake it, yes! We do not need Tony to be faking it.
No, it isn't. Not even if that site is Hoopsworld. Quite honestly, I would take Kill Bill Pana more seriously than the Post.Quote:

The Spurs will make an offer and Parker will make a choice. There is not much anyone can do about it beyond that. This is it. This season is, more than likely, the last waltz for the big 3.
A lot can change before February 17, 2011, but Spurs fans need to be prepared for the bad news. Just be thankful for what being a Spurs fan has given you and don't expect that it will last forever. This is an elite organization and they always do their best to a put very competitive product out on the floor, but the end of the road is near and if TP leaves, I can't blame him.
If I was running the Spurs,
I would get the Clippers on the phone and offer them TP for Baron Davis right now.
Get it done Pop!
:flag:
lol @ the parker homers
when is a report going to be legit enough for you guys? every single one of the numerous reports is always dismissed as false and irrelevant, or as misinterpreted. wake up seriously...i mean im not saying trade him away for a bag of peanuts but the spurs need to start seriously shopping him and seing whats out there if they havent already been doing that.
What makes you think they aren't?Quote:

He wants to play international ball. He wants max money.
He's a speed point guard that is at his peak...and Pop saw for himself that the Spurs gelled without him at the end of last year and therefore brought him off the bench!
What more proof does anyone need?
He is on the way out.
Better to trade him now and get a darn good player in return to help the Spurs win a Championship this year.
Anyone who thinks the Spurs chances at a championship are even with George Hill instead of Tony Parker is delusional.

But I agree, which is why it's great that the Spurs are not cutting Tony, they will be trading him...meaning I expect they are looking at available PGs to bring in as a replacement.
ideally we're going to get a(some) pretty important pieces(s) in return for parker.Quote:

Three things:
I thought Eva was a lifelong Spurs fan.
Spurs fans should be praying for marital strife in Tony Parker's life.
Didn't we have this conversation already? I don't really see any new info. If Parker's deterimined to go to the Knicks, then the Spurs can't possibly get anything for him right now.
But Obstructed, if you trade him to LA, where he'll get max money and the spotlight he craves...and get to play with Blake Griffin and a good coach in Vinnie Del Negro...he'll have no reason to want to goto New York.
Tony is a top 5 PG when healthy. George Hill is an undersized SG with limited PG skills. If there was an offer for a PG who could legitimately replace Parker's production (either solo or paired with Hill) the Spurs would have undoubtedly jumped on it already. Manu cannot be allowed to play the minutes required to lead a team at the point and he is far to valuable off the ball.
There could be some better options at the deadline, but I'm not counting on it, and if there was a good deal out there right now, it would be done. The Spurs already tried to swap Tony for Chris Paul, so they are looking.
