Damn I just ed myself thinking of Brandon Roy playing together with Ginobili.
Trading Parker and not getting a better point guard back would be incredibly stupid. Unless the Hornets are in extreme cost-slashing mode and want to offer up Paul without tying Okafor into it (extremely doubtful), no way this team should be trading Parker.
shouldnt trade parker...
No need to trade TP unless it's a no-brainer trade (e.g. Chris Paul). Tony should work on his 3 point shot this summer though...it's the next logical step in his evolution.
The last time a Finals MVP PG was traded was for AI back when he was good. So, unless we are getting a HOF scorer, I hope we don't do it.
Trade Parker for something that will help us get to a championship!
Exploring the option of trading Parker is a no-brainer. Trading him is not.
I don't see any realistic scenarios that would net the Spurs Bosh for Parker or another big available of his caliber, so there's only one other direction I'd explore: combo guard/wing.
The goal is obviously to win now. They don't have time to trade Tony for an up-and-comer. And dealing Parker would essentially mean you believe Hill could be a full-time starter with whomever you acquire and that combination would put you closer to a le than maintaining the status quo.
So if Hill is the starter, you'll need a backcourt with versatility that can share playmaking responsibilities. It'd be along the lines of what we've come to know of the Triangle's backcourt; offensive initiators or even the point run from more of the 2.
So who fits that bill?
Players involved in packages I'd contemplate:
- Iguodala
- Mayo (maybe you get find away to get Conley as well?)
- J. Johnson
That's just off the top of my head, and it obviously wouldn't be a 1-for-1 trade, but if those are the principle players in the deal ... I'm willing to talk.
This is a fabricated article, as usual from the NY media..
There's nothing that I want from the Knicks, and Knick fans don't want Tony Parker either..people here would be angry if they get Parker, unless he's the 3rd option behind Lebron and another star, which won't happen..
If this trade gets us brandon roy then yes trade parker.
If the Spurs could get Mayo/Conley you pull the trigger ASAP, Iggy maybe..Johnson no.
rt @JaredDudley619 rt @lovemeorleeveme who the is san antonio gona get for tony parker? Chris duhon? ( what about sign and trade with David Lee)
I saw the le and my heart sank! These rumors are starting to scare me...
There is nothing to be scared about. This year, more than most, there will be a ridiculous amount of fabricated rumors.
IF the Spurs decided to trade TP, I am sure it will be for a of an offer that even people who love TP like me would understand.
That Makes sense....
IF the Spurs decided to trade TP, I am sure it will be for a of an offer that even people who love TP like me would understandI don't know if I would understand, unless there was one of these
...I even feel bad saying it! It sounds cold.
+1
I want to keep Parker even if we don't win another championship. Ship these old stars out when they can no longer perform makes me sad. Parker is still at his prime, it will not be a wise decision to trade him.
However, call me crazy if you would, but I like Tracy McGrady to join us for a lower level exemption. Hopefully we can also sign Mike Miller (a 3-pt threat).
I dont want Parker gone, but if it means getting a guy like Gerald Wallace in return, I'm all for it. Give me another beast of a defensive player at the 3 spot who can score. The second coming of Bruce Bowen. Wallace just made 1st team all defensive and is only 27. Plenty of good years left. Image a lineup of Hill/Manu/Wallace/Duncan/Splitter. I'll take it, everyday and tweice on sunday.
Didn't you hear, bb? George Hill is a point guard!
Honestly, anyone who posts or even suggests that should have "I am a dumb " made their permanent le. George Hill is a point guard only when compared to Roger Mason.
RJ and TP for Galinari or Lee and Duhon or Chandler or whomever works...
too lazy to look up salaries
Terrible trade ^
Probably the best take on this particular rumor and figured it deserved recognition.
Consider the source. The FO WILL NOT give Tony Parker away. If he is traded, it will be for assets in line with his abilities. He had a tough year, but a summer off can do wonders. He should be able to come back strong.
NY has NO decent assets to trade - their #1s for the next two years are already gone. You don't give up TP just for any current players on that roster - David Lee is OK, but TP should bring more than just that. If Splitter comes, he will take that spot anyway.
A young up and coming talent who's capable of being an all-star or multiple #1 picks are the right types of compensation.
has it ever accured to anyone that maybe tony doesn't want to stay all that bad?
i'm sure he would love the bright lights, more endorsements, and bigger contracts of a bigger market
even if you read tony's twitter or eva's facebook they keep a usually unbiased towards teams and cities log
it didn't get all "go spurs" until the post season...
just sayin'
I think Finley's a better power forward than George is a point guard. Not to disrespect Hill; he's shown that he's a of a two-guard for this team.
even though this is all speculation at this point, most of the what if's seem to focus on david lee. david lee is certainly a great player, but he is not the prize on the ny roster. if there is someone on that roster that we could pull away, it should certainly be gallinari. if only ny had some picks to add..
