Yup, pretty much.
Nah...the "Place-setting" to go along with the "Centerpiece".
Not just all guards - all defensive-minded guards. And Pop will still decide to go small. So we'll have 3 PG's on the floor, Temple at PF, and Hairston at C.
Not really... I've seen too many clips of this guy dunking the ball. Pop will never let him play.
How do you think the FO views Parker's situation next year? I have never thought TP would be a Spur lifer and think once he hits the market he will sign elsewhere.
Do you think they will try to move his expiring contract next year for a Manu replacement and a big?
I just don't see RJ going anywhere after the way he has played this year. Parker is a much more valuable chip.
Who would be buyers in that market?
Although trading Parker is intriguing, I highly doubt the Spurs would consider it as long as Duncan continues to play and doesn't retire.
So you wouldn't do a Parker for Josh Smith trade? I just don't think Parker will resign after next year.
+1
Even if the spurs didn't have George Hill riding Parker's ass and showing huge potential as a cheaper and soon to be better replacement and the spurs were planning their entire future around Tony Parker, I think there's a chance he could still bolt to play in either a bigger market with all the glitz and glamour that comes with it or an established team that doesn't have a potential lengthy rebuilding process looming ahead.
He's probably thinking about 3 years down the road, when most likely Duncan and Manu will be gone and he'll be the last of the big 3 on the team playing with a lot of young players in a rebuilding type situation. Is he going to want to be part of a rebuilding process in what will be his last big contract /
productive years? I don't think so.
Exactly what I was thinking. So the question is...Do we think it is worth going all in one more season (I think we can all agree that next year is our last chance with Timmy) or do we trade him and look to our future?
Because, though the present has been fun, the future looks miserable if Parker signs somewhere else.
BUT...if we can send him off for a guy like Josh Smith, sign Splitter and trade RJ for another piece with his contract, then we can forseeably speed up the rebuilding process.
When you came up with the idea of trading Parker, I assumed you meant now, which I wouldn't do. But 2 or 3 years from know, I would absolutely think about it trading Parker, if the Spurs could get equal, or better value in return.
Of course I meant in the offseason or at the deadline next year. He is a big expiring contract, a big name player, and will likely give us ulcers in the 2011 offseason about where he is going to sign.
He's not a sure thing like Timmy. So if you can move him in the offseason, get some young talent in return for the wing and/or a big then you can hopefully move RJ at the deadline to fill in the other blanks.
why such analysis and concern over 10 day contracts ?
