Spurs would have a monster hole a PG if they trade TP. I honestly don't see a package for TP that makes sense unless they are really looking toward the future.
If they are looking at winning this year, they would have to get a legit ball handler in the trade.
fans recall that our best championship team had AJ as apoinjt guard
not the most elite point guard.
Ofcourse that team did have the best spur player in all of spurs history in david robinson
but it does prove that
ian+ another halloffame player might be enough to win a ring
ofcourse
splitter could be manu 2.0

(Even though it didn't happen, this would have been the situation had Pritchard not pulled a quickie) *Read "the skinny" on the 26th pick*
my parker trade would be:
parker + 20th for jarret jack + belinelli + 13th pick.
lol, i originally included derozan, but figured the raptors would rather kill themselves. i also forgot to take away the 20th pick after i removed derozan.
The RJ trade was discussed by plenty of pundits. He did not break the trade as he would be doing here. He might have reported it first after it was done, but in this case he is the first one really saying a deal "will" be done.
By break the news, I mean having insider info before the fact.
Many people knew we were targeting Batum as well.
I get Phila's logic, but I still think that is a stretch and I still don't think it makes sense (especially if it is for Indy's package.)
I think the Pacers trade is just as bad. Sure Murphy might have some more talent, but he is a very bad defender, Rush is ok and that pick is not too much worse in value imo. Both trades are terrible.
If...
.....I'd trade Parker.
The way Hill lead the team at the point guard position and got the team rolling in the right direction at the end of the season makes me confident in his ability to run the team. (Even if he isn't as good as Parker.) There's a chance Parker leaves the Spurs for more money next summer, leaving the Spurs empty handed. Spurs have to be shopping him around right now for that reason. I don't like the Indiana proposal with Murphy Rush and the 10th pick, but I'd trade Parker if the price is right elsewhere.
Temple will be a good back up pg for the spurs..
Parker for a draft pick any lower than 2 would be ridiculous, unless the Spurs are just clearing shop and going into full rebuild mode right now.
Sure, I think most agree with that (not the Hill part, but the right package). Problem is, there is not very many packages that seem feasible.
http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/16729358922Minnesota offering Jonny Flynn and two first-round picks (16 and 23) to Indiana for a package that includes the 10th pick, sources tell Y!
Indiana could potentially fill a lot of holes with that trade.
He broke it by reporting the deal done, but many around here knew RC was working on that deal for a long, long time. Right now, no one is coming out and saying the Spurs will trade, except Ford. That is what I mean. He does not have a beat on the Spurs.
TJ Ford, no thanks. I agree the Nets deal is a better deal, but I don't see it happening.
Make room for Rubio?
I'm assuming Indiana would part ways with Rush, A.J Price and the 10th for Flynn, the 16th and the 23rd.
Minnesota must really want to make sure they grab Paul George with the 10th after they select Wes Johnson with the 4th. (Great future at the SF and SG) and they get good back ups in Rush and AJ Price (behind Rubio if he comes over).
Indiana gets their point guard in Flynn and two first rounders to build on.
Think its a win- win for both. IMO
Damn, good trade for Indy.
all this trade parker bull
wtf? that makes no sense. flynn was a number 6 pick last year and played decently. he alone should be worth the 10th pick.
Really? I think Indy wins big time in terms of value. Essentially last years 6th pick, this years 16th and 23rd for this years 10th?
Minn GM sucks. Trading Flynn after one season is showing that they blew it twice in the lottery last year. And 2 First round picks for a ten? Horrible.
RC please get on the phone and rob Minn. blind before LA does.
Yeah I do.. IMO of course.
Where Flynn got picked last year has no weight on his value anymore as a player.
They may see Flynn as a starter, but they might not value his ability as a potential All-Star (which I don't blame them; Flynn didn't really blow me away).
On the other hand Minnesota may value Paul George's ability as a player with a higher ceiling than Flynn. With the assumed addition of Rubio, Flynn becomes expendable and George's potential and the addition of Rubio is what outweighs Flynn's value as a player (not where he was drafted.) IMO
Yeah, I get that, but you would think the 16th and 23rd would probably be enough for 10th or close to it imo. To throw in Flynn, after only one year is a bit of a reach. While his draft spot might not have a direct bearing, it should have some after a decent year.
There is also a lot of complications with Rubio to Minny it seems. He does not seem like he wants to be there.
Dude, they still own Parker's Bird Rights. They can offer him more money than anyone else can next summer. I'm sure they be going through negotiations during the season and will extend him at some point. Like Baseline Bum said, if they trade Parker then they're conceding that the team is no longer a championship material. A rookie with potential isn't going to push the team to a championship, but a healthy, focused Parker can/has.
