Career loyalty, punking Kawhi's soft ass in the media, not giving Pop any shit when he wanted to pass the torch to Murray..
He's definitely getting a better deal than Pau.

Gonna be interesting... he lost his starting spot to a rook, he can't seemingly beat Fatty Stacks to close games... he's on a pretty weird situation...
You would almost think the Spurs are getting ready for the pricetag and demoting him is a way to tell him "hey, you gotta get backup PG money now"... we'll see...
Yeah, I agree with the strategic "demotions" 100%.. Same thing I thought with Danny going to the benchQuote:

I'm sure it'll be more than vet min... although I don't think he'll have the leverage Manu had when another team came knocking for him...
Think it's tied to what they do at shooting guard . . .
- If Green is re-signed, does he become a permanent bench player? He'd still play similar minutes and have every opportunity to close, it would just be so that they can have the most logical back court pairings.
- If Green isn't re-signed, do they pursue Bradley or maybe Caldwell-Pope? Can't see either being amendable to coming off the bench, which would force Mills-Parker together.
- If Green isn't re-signed, do they not pursue a replacement? That would open a rotation spot for Forbes/White, but leave them without a legit starting/closing option.
The third scenario is probably the only way Parker gets 3 more seasons and almost certainly gets him a higher average annual value than he otherwise would. He's definitely not getting the veterans minimum though.
Manu took a pay cut to join the Spurs that year. What a player. :tuQuote:

Training camp invitee. If he does well, give him a 10-day contract.
Anybody see his face when DJ scores on Westbrook?
Supermax loyalty contract at 12:01 AM, tbh.
No. Tell us the story.Quote:

Retire
I'd rather have 400-pound Raymond Felton, sadly:lol..hmm, nah, I wouldn't go that far..
Vet minimum should be the goal, hopefully TP doesn't take it as an insult..
I still think Green is gone, and I don't think KCP or Bradley would take the MLE which something like $9 million IIRC, so option 3 seems like the most likely route.Quote:

Murray, Mills, Kawhi, Bertans/Anderson, Aldridge.
Parker, Manu, Gay, Bertans/Anderson, , Gasol
Closing lineups would probably be the same as the SL depending on the situational needs. The Bertans unit would probably be much better offensively and decent defensively while the Anderson unit would probably be much better defensively and decent offensively.
I think Parker ends up getting a 2 year $10 million deal or $12 million over 3 years.
One thing I haven't heard asked yet is what happens if Gay opts out? Would PATFO David Lee him or resign him? (assuming Bertans and Anderson are also retained) and figure out the 3/4 minutes between them and Kawhi.
Depends on what the team does to make cap space. I think he'll get about $20 Million over the final three years. Could be a straight deal, could be like Manu's last three years or it could be like Tim's last three. Hopefully it's the first option and the team dumps Patty and Pau or moves Murray and Mills for Walker.
If he doensn’t get Vet minimum they can offer him a lifetime of whataburger. Lol.
Who are we all kidding? He will get something similar to Manu’s. 1 year 14 million or 3 year/42 million. Farewell contract.
Whatever Tony gets, I want it to be in the form of an extension rather than a new contract. Tony has the strange distinction of playing 17 years and never once being a free agent. I don't know what the record is, because Parker has to be up there.
If he saves us from a first round exit like he did last year and in 2014, whatever he wants.
Anything above vet minimum would be overpaying, and even that is too much. Tony should just read the scenario and retire, or go play in France, tbh.
Parker doesn't have 3 years left in this pg driven league. Now he can go out there and play to collect checks, but he would be worse than Iverson in PHilly the last time.Quote:

Yeah, they're not taking the MLE, but there are other ways to create room (namely, Gay opting out or being traded), if they prioritize starting shooting guard. Unfortunately, I think option 3 is most likely too.Quote:

It'll probably remain situational, with Gasol still starting more often than not.
They'd probably let him walk. I know it's his first season back after tearing his Achilles and he had bursitis too, but it doesn't bode well that he's playing a limited, dwindling role without Leonard.
Sounds about right. I'd be surprised if they go to 3 years though.
