Tony Parkers trade value

[ceds]

A friend asked me today who i would trade TP for.

The no brainers:
Bron / Kobe / Wade / Dwight / Yao and Durant

Would have to have a long think about:
CP3 / Roy / Melo / Amare / Dirk /

Thanks but no thanks!
Rhondo / J Johnson / Iggy / Bosh / Dwill

First its a testament to Tony that there are only 10 - 12 guys in the NBA that i would consider trading him for. The man has improved his game every season and will remain a top 5 pg for at least the next 8 years.

That being said...Tony's trade value is at an All time high right now.
Out of that list...The only team i think that would bite on a trade would be the suns with Amare. Im not upto speed on Amares health situation but if he is 100% i think i would go for this.

Am i crazy for saying i would pull the trigger on this trade?


- He would takes pressure away from TD
- Its easier to structure the team around Amare / TD / Hill / Manu for the next 2 seasons
- Both players have their prime ahead of them.
- Always say yes to trading a small for a big when they have equal value

Trading a small for a big often makes sense...
Yeah Duncan and Amare in the pain with Hill runing the point and Manu completing the background sounds pretty good..... but no

You have to think for a long time to trade Parker for CP3?

[montgod]

Why the heck is everyone trying to trade our best player??? I don't care how high his trade value is, TP and Duncan aren't available.

Just be patient and let's see what the FO does this summer before trying to trade everyone.

Cuz he isn't going to stay longer than he has to.

- well, IMO, on your list i see only two no brainers: LBJ and Dwight Howard.

- Kobe could be but he's way more expensive than Tony and much older.

- all the others: NO. i don't think they would really bring much more than we would lost with tony.

- Rondo:

[raspsa]

I'd seriously consider Brandon Roy. He's on his way to being a superstar and seems to be a level-headed guy and has leadership skills.. not much downside.

I wouldn't say you are crazy without further test, anyhow ... why in the world should we trade our MVP with Championship experience who is going to his prime for someone else?

No thanks.

- Rondo:

well Parker is a spur since day 1, so it's actually very hard to figure out what the Spurs would lose by trading Parker and bringing another all-star PG like D-Will or CP3. More passing skills? Less scoring? Would the Spurs be better as a team? that's hard to say

[romain.star]

Also, after watching this painfull French NT with TP runing the point, i'd be very curious to see what Parker can bring to a Duncan-less team in the NBA.
That being said, I really hope my curiosity will never be satisfied (well... at least not before TD retires!)

Sorry for asking, is TP playing in French NT this season?

No thanks.

A few reasons.

- 2 seasons max left in the championship window.
- Spurs must have an all star level (or close to it) big to beat the Lakers
- Its easier to fill the team around that core.They should be able to find a competant swingman with the MLE
- Will Parker bolt when TD retires??
- The small for big rule

Amare is dumb but no one can deny his talent. If he is 100% healthy then he has a legit chance of being the no 1 power foward in the game over the next 5 years.

[romain.star]

yep he is... His motivation is quite clear: the looming Olympic Games in London.

Anyway, new coach, new rules within the team, new players... we'll see how Parker handle that kind of leadership. Maybe he should have a chat with Manu before leaving cause so far, it has been pretty disappointing !

- Rondo:

I would trade TP for Wade or Yao in a heart beat and thank the basketball gods for my good fortune.

Durant i may not....only because he wont immediately improve the chance to win a ring but over the long run he could potentially be in the Kobe / Bron level.

[ducks]

tp has his best season and still people want to trade him

[Brazil]

Would have to have a long think about:
CP3 / Roy / Melo / Amare / Dirk /

An advice for you ta save your precious time: stop thinking. TP for Melo / Amare or Dirk yeah right

[sananspursfan21]

bad thread. tony as of now, is untouchable, end of story

Passing skills ? there's no passing skills that could make Oberto, Bonner or KT catch an alley oop pass or improve shooters FG % when they're yet WIDE OPEN and still miss.

in these PO, we needed an aggressive scoring PG, we had the best at this job and it was still far from enough, unfortunately.

i could see some teams where CP3 or D-Will would be more useful than Tony, even if they're not as much different players as some people say.

but in the spurs, no way. especially after their respective performance in PO.

[hater]

I was just thinking this. Tony is the biggest trade asset the Spurs have. If they really are going to make a move to change this team and make it a contender again. They should shop Tony around and see what they could get.

[Mr. Body]

I'd seriously consider trading Parker. Look at baskets of young players and draft picks. The only thing standing in the way of this option is faith in 2010.

[Marcus Bryant]

Piss poor idea.

[Evil Angel]

And they call me Evil.
Talk like this could ruin the team.
First things first, sign Gooden and get him to camp to fully learn the system.

Just the ACT of shopping Tony around would be the stupidest thing for this team since the ScoLA trade.
