apparently not.
Man, people have a short memory. Tony Parker is a top 5 point guard. Everyone wants to get rid of him.........for what? The guy when healthy can slash, score and dish. Stop all this BS about dumping him.

Do people also remember that the best stretch the Spurs had this season was with Tony Parker riding the pine and Gino/Hill as starters?
Parker's only worth trading if there's a substantial deal around but 2007 was a long time ago. If the Spurs want to become legitimate contenders again they have a lot of weaknesses to address and Tony Parker is one of the Spurs strongest trading assets and also have a guy named RJ to dump.
He should definitely be actively traded if he chooses to play for France this summer imo.
i think its just spurs fans willing to do it if it involves jefferson.
Whatever............. one year ago everyone was saying he is the best player the Spurs have...........now? The guy was injured. If he didnt miss so many games this year, and went into the playoffs at full strength, we would still be watching a Spurs vs Suns series. Tony is good for over 20pts a game when 100% healthy.
No such thing as a playoffs MVP.
Oberto?
If he plays for France then he won't be doing his health any good.
He should know more than anyone that his body has a lot of wear and tear at this point and needs rest. He won't be doing Spurs fans and the FO any favors by choosing to add more miles overseas especially since Manu won't be this summer.
Fixed............... you know what I meant.
Boobie Gibson was the Finals MVP

The guy when healthy is an elite player.
If you can't bring here Lebron,Chris Paul or Dwight don't trade him.
You don't want to understand, do you ?
1) Gino running the point is good for a short period. The spurs will want to limit his minutes next year because he is now a vet who already had a lot of injuries and because by running the point Manu is loosing his explosiveness / mojo in Offense.
2) A few weeks before TP injury, the TP/Hill combo was working well with Manu coming off the bench.
3) Hill is not a PG ! 0,3 assist per game while starting the POs, he is a pure SG. If you trade parker it would be only for an elite PG but TP is already an elite PG unless we land CP3, DW and a few others, TP is going nowhere.
That's because Boobie Gibson was guarding him
ing Boobie Gibson
Get real people
of course everyone knows hes a very effective player and he has the most upside for this team. thats also the reason he is being talked about for trades...he is the only real valuable trade asset this team has. and lets face it, its time to blow this thing up cause this season was the last real shot this team had at the le. that is why he is being shopped around, not because people doubt that hes a good player.
The times they are a-changin'.
Spurs always come first, before any player, unless your Timmy/DRob/Gervin status.
It seems respecting and liking parker for how good he is and what he has done is apparently a taboo in here. TP is an elite pg, one of the best in the league, even though this year he was nearly close as how we are used to, but we all know he had an injury plagued year all season long.
Tony isn't going anywhere. He is our best player, and we would trade him? I don't think so. And to think Hill can replace Parker? no way, he can't, I said before, not yet, maybe in the future, but now? No way.
Pistons do also remember their 2004 Finals MVP.
the spurs are already around 10 mil over the Salary, with hardly any players... I'm not sure, but maybe 7?
don't you think we need one high-dollar player to go and get a couple back in return?
+1 on zosa & poop's contributions
I don't think the window is entirely closed, but the most glaring problem this year was another year of Duncan having no interior help, since Dice's minutes were limited for most of the year. Duncan was often paired with Bonner for large stretches of the game and left alone to defend the paint alone during those times. This simply cannot happen. EVER. AGAIN.
If Parker can be traded, for say Mike Bibby and Al Horford (not sure if the hawks would even do it but the salaries match) this gives Duncan a young versatile defender to pair up with and take a load of pressure off. Larry Brown has a surplus of bigs over in Charlotte as well... Mohammed, Thomas, & Chandler are all possibilities. I like Thomas' shotblocking and Chandler's post defense and Mohammed's all around play.
The main reasons why I think Parker should be traded
1. The team has evolved the need of a PG who will mainly distribute and shoot an occasional 3 and most importantly... fit in with Hill, Manu, & Jefferson. I don't think Parker does to be quite honest.
2. Parker may walk once his contract is up, AND/OR the spurs might not have the cash to resign him. If either of these happen, the spurs will lose him with no compensation.
3. Parker's health history. The planar fascitis, the bi-weekly ankle rolls, & probably most importantly the lack of commitment to resting during the summers is taking its toll not only on Parker but on the rest of the players.
I don't advocate getting rid of him unless it makes the team better. Having said that, there are trades involving Parker that the Spurs could make which would make the team better. Not entertaining those offers is counter to what you want the team to achieve.Man, people have a short memory. Tony Parker is a top 5 point guard. Everyone wants to get rid of him.........for what? The guy when healthy can slash, score and dish. Stop all this BS about dumping him.
You might also try fast forwarding to 2010. This is the reality now.
+1 The Spurs would let Timmy sit on the bench with a walker if that's what he wanted to do.
100%
Does anyone think we would even resgin Parker? If the answer is, "no", then it's a pretty easy decision. Even before the injury, I think he lost some quickness. His whole value is built on his speed an ability to get to the rim. He's not going to magically learn to be a better floor general and an assist maker. I don't think he's going to ever be great from 3 point range. So, if we can get something to make the team better, it's a no brainer. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a superstar.
I strongly agree with everything you posted, except that in red. You need to take a look at Atlantas first two playoff matchups this year, then get back to us about Bibby. Horford is solid but the numbers and personnel don't work unless you couple him with a PG (specifically Bibby). Unfortunately, Bibby isn't the answer.
Nazr Mohammed? Hands of stone. Cant count the number of times he fumbled a point blank pass at the rim resulting in a fast break the other way. Other half of the time, he caught the pass and made a move so slow that it resulted in a strip and same result. Tyrus Thomas? Low BBIQ and suspect personality. Chandler? Perhaps but health is a problem for him.
The PG we need is in the mold of a CP3 or DWill. The center we need is in the mold of a seven foot Ian Mahinmi with DeJuan Blairs skillset (think I just busted a nut in my pants.....).
