Tony Parkers trade value

[kace]

hmmm

he averaged nearly 17pts, 10.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds

not too shabby. and if he does that well when he's having a bad series, then imagine when he's having a good one.

that's what is so fun with the haters.

less than 17 ppg at 41 % , 10.5 ass. (with the usual gifts from scorekeepers) but almost 5 TO and ZERO leadership. and ty defense. and you call that a "not so bad" performance from Paul ??

If Tony had this performance after a first round elimination, there would be dozens of "Trade TP's ass" threads, and you would be one of the most consistent poster in those threads.

I think there is some players that would be great to trade for TP for the spurs.

but any of those trades will happen (LBJ, DHoward...)
and any of those potential trades would involve a PG, because TP is a TOP 3 PG, and in those PO (well for the 1st round at least) he was a TOP 1 PG.

As long as he doesn't make 20 M/year but 13/14 M, tony is a lock for the spurs.

People talk about manu and TP, but one question who could (should ?) be asked is: Is TD still worthing 20+ M /year ? i mean it's not only a great player contract. it's a super dominant player contract. and Tim isn't one anymore. i don't think it's a blaspheny to say that.

in three years, timmy will still make 20+ M and what will his level be then ?

i would be the first to admit he deserves it for what he has accomplished and bring to this team. but pure level wise, Tim is now more a 15-16 M player than a 20+ M one.

it's what often happens. great players need some time to get to a well deserved max 20 M contract and often, when they get there, they don't have the level worthing it anymore.

Look at the Top20/Top30 biggest salaries and you will see it's very far from the Top20/Top30 current best players in the league.

^^ It's so true how can we just begin to think about trading him when the guy has a reasonable contract at 14 M. TP is may be the best quality/price player of the nba.

Would have agreed with this until he folded in the Denver series. I know NO couldn't win that series, but Paul either quit, got owned, or a combination of the two. Compare his performance to Deron Williams, who was in an equally bleak situation against LA. His team didn't win, but D-Will fought and played a pretty good series. Paul did not give a performance worthy of someone supposed to be an elite player.

Maybe because he was injured most of the series. He was playin at 70%(at best) the last two games. Posey, West, Chandler, Paul, and Peja were all playing hurt vs. denver. We never had a snowball's chance in .

BTW, TP is the LAST person the spurs should trade. He is what makes the spurs go. No offense to Duncan, but it's about time for TP to be the only spur worthy of MVP consideration. He would get more votes if it wereb't for duncan. I also think he and DWill are tied for 2nd best PG. Parker might be the most underrated player in the league. Trading him would be a step backward almost regardless of what you would realistically get in return.

The numbers don't always tell the story. If you watched those two series, SA played hard but was simply outmatched without Manu and Timmy on one leg and no one else stepping up whereas New Orleans just gave up. , they lost by 58 points AT HOME. Yeah, SA got beat badly in their series, but not because its best players gave up.

Complete arrogance. Our whole team was hurt. Maybe you should watch how the denver team that beat us is dominating the dallas team that beat yall. New Orleans gave up? Maybe in one game, but they played hard in games 1,2,3, and 5. If you watched the series? You obviouly either didn't watch it, or did with complete bias towards your team. Its great to be a fan, but it also important to be realistic by taking a step out of your team's ass and take a look at the big picture. It should be a clue whenever a majority of spurs fans disagree with you
