I think Greg has been too injury prone for the Spurs to trade a player like Parker for him.
Here's the trade : Tony Parker for Greg Oden + Someone (to match the salaries)
The questions:
1)Do you think the Spurs would do this trade ?
2)Do you think the Blazers would do this trade ?
3)Do you think there's a possibility this trade might happen or at least be considered by the teams ?
Here are my answers :
1)Yes!
2)Maybe...
3)I think it's a big dream for the Spurs. I don't think it will happen but I hope I'm wrong and I wanna know your opinion.
I believe Greg Oden is SERIOUSLY underrated at the moment and I believe he's not well-coached either, so his trade value is not what it should be and the Blazers are looking for a good PG. If I were Popovich I would definitely push hard to make this trade happen.

Trade an All-Star point guard in his prime for a rookie center who is coming off of microfracture surgery and has been outplayed by Joel Przybilla this season.

No. No. and No.
I'm sure Spurs fans are thanking their lucky stars you aren't Popovich.
Unless that other player is Brandon Roy I say absolutely not.
Parker for Oden no!
Przybilla hasn't out played Oden this season. I have watched every single game of the blazers this year and Oden's impact on the game is WAY BEYOND stats. First of all, he rarely sees single coverage and the Blazers aren't taking advantage of it. Second of all, the points in the paint of the other team drop SIGNIFICANTLY when he's on the court and so does the rebounding. He's only 20 years old, he has lots of upside and he has a very similar winning and humble at ude/personality to Duncan's. His idol is Tim Duncan. I know cuz I have talked with him and played in the same tournament as he did twice so I got to see him play VERY CLOSELY. He's going to regain lots of mobility over the next year. He will win many championships wherever he decides to go and will be underappreciated cuz he's similar to Duncan mentality-wise. He's a very smart player. The only thing that's slowing him down is the foul trouble but that will go away once he regains his explosiveness and reaches all-star status. Then again, he will never be appreciated like he sould be, like Duncan, cuz his impact goes beyond the scoring and the stat sheet, like Duncan. If you wanna look at Oden's impact, look at the Blazers record this season and not Oden's personal stats. It's the same thing when you're looking at Duncan, you don't watch his stats, you watch his championships and the winning mentality and leadeship he brings to the team. He has lesser stats but impacts the game a lot more than guys like Howard, Amare and Bosh. I don't even think the Blazers are realizing his value right now.With Hill playing well, Parker becomes more expendable. I think it's the perfect time to strike.Trade an All-Star point guard in his prime for a rookie center who is coming off of microfracture surgery and has been outplayed by Joel Przybilla this season.

And I know Popovich has looked at him cuz he has the type of personnality Popovich is looking for and, on the floor, he's doing the type of things Popovich wants his players to do. The type of things that the media or your average ''I know basket-ball'' guy don't look for.By the way, if he stays in Portland, no mater how badly coached they are, they will dominate the league and it will be mostly because of Oden and not Roy (like the media will try to advertise). I have the biggest respect for Roy, he's one of a player but Oden will impact the game more.

why would they?
thats the stupidest idea ever
oden has yet to make a splash. his defense is not what they'd hoped, and he's a liability offensively. tony is instant offense, the best penetrator in the game, and while we need a big, no way we'd give up 20 ppg for it.
Trading the present for the future isn't a good idea at this time. The Spurs are in the hunt for more rings until TD retires. After that then they will most likely have to rebuild. Trading TP - a top 5 PG in the league - isn't going to get you to the promised land. In fact it would cons utes a step backward. Hill at this time isn't going to be the force at PG that TP is. And you now have Jacque as backup. This is something that the Spurs were trying to fix with the drafting of Hill. Oden is years away from being the force that many think he will be. This would only waste TD's final years as a Spur.Trade an All-Star point guard in his prime for a rookie center who is coming off of microfracture surgery and has been outplayed by Joel Przybilla this season.

And I don't believe that the Blazers would include Roy. That trade would negate almost everything that they have been trying to accomplish with the draft and at the same time not make them legit contenders. Still wannabes IMO. They will be a force in the future but not this season. They still need time to mature but when that happens everyone better look out.
I would consider Aldridge Batum Lafrentz and two 1st picks for parker
i would consider trading scrubs for Oden.

lol .... we dont ing care about the 20 ppg that parker brings.... he doesnt IMPACT THE GAME nearluy as much as oden does ... in his rookie year!!! and by the way oden is starting to show up .... he dropped 25pts and 15rbds monday and yesterday he chipped in 18pts and 14rbds .... he will be more consistent from now on cuz he's fouling less (getting used to the nba's game speed) so he's getting more minutes ..... everytime oden played more than 30 minutes he dropped monster numbers.... lol so dont worry about parker's scoring.... anyways, the way oden prevents the other team from scoring in the paint, we will easily get those 20 points back on defense.....stop droping statistics, oden is above that, the dude's a ing winner .... and trust me, pop would do it if he could get oden + outlaw, bayless, fernandez or batum.... then again, the other is just bonus to match the salaries
Rasheed Wallace is exactly what the Spurs need: a long, athletic big man who can score.
His contract is up at the end of the year and the Pistons don't seem like they will do much this year. Is there any chance the Spurs could trade for him?
The tough thing is the Spurs have very little of value to trade back.
No chance
bowen, hill, boner and manu for sheed!
so you would trade manu or tp for him
then who would score?
this summer we go after sheed.
I think Dwight Howard is exactly what we need.
But that aint happening.
Close your eyes and listen the the song
Pistons will offer him more than spurs could
I wouldn't trade Manu or Tony
That's what makes this hard. I really don't know who the Spurs can trade. Bonner, Hill and a 2012 First-Round Draft Pick?
was this about the spurs chances at winning today???
Pistons can`t offer another ring this year
This was been suggested in the NBA section recently. I said sure.
Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for Rasheed Wallace, and we'll even throw in Allen Iverson.
Done deal.
