Wilson Chandler would be an amazing SF for us. Amazing.
Then that there trade idea isn't gonna work, is it?
Lee makes no sense for the Spurs.
I don't see Spurs dealing with the Knicks. The best they can offer is Gallinari and Chandler and they don't have any 1st round draft picks for a long while.Then that there trade idea isn't gonna work, is it?
Therefore, the Knicks might have to wait a year to give Parker the max level deal, leaving the Spurs with nothing.
They already locked and unlocked it. No need to lock it again. Don't post in it if you don't want to see it on the front page.
Spurs can offer him more. Question is, will they.
No they won't.
In my opinion of course.
It will largely depend on the season he has. If his play warrants a max offer from NY then the Spurs would likely have to kill their cap space to offer him more. And there's still no guarantee he'll accept. I hope they work on an extension or look into trade options next season.
Agree. To trade parker you need to get a star back.
Only way Spurs will offer Parker the full max is if Spurs go on to win the le again and Parker wins the MVP for the second time. Part of that has to do with the mileage/tread on his tires and the length of the max-level deal (bigger and more risky investment than Ginobili's). Another part of it has to do with the surprisingly development of George Hill, who is on a very valuable and cheap rookie scale salary for a couple more years after next.
I don't think the Spurs intend to offer Parker the full max, which is why they have been pondering with the idea of parting with Parker a year before he hits free agency. *Where its very likely a desperate team like the Knicks will offer him the max-level deal.*

Well another wrinkle is whether Tim will help the organization out by opting out and taking a much reduced salary. It looks like he has an ETO for the 2011/2012 season but would be leaving $21 mil on the table. If he took less the Spurs could accomodate offering Parker more.
Considering that's basically the last significant paycheck Tim will receive in his entire life, I highly doubt he opts out.
If he wants to keep playing maybe they could sign him to I dunno a 3-4 year deal averaging $15 mil/season. It's a significant pay cut but the Spurs would need some kind of financial relief.
duncan could always pull a pierce. opt out, then take a 3 year contract worth around $15 million a year. would help the spurs and duncan can play a little longer.
Certainly its a possibility. Although, as much as I love Tim more than any player in the history of the NBA, resigning Tim for another 3-4 years at the age of 35 for 15 million dollars a year isn't a smart move to make.
I wouldn't mind resigning him for another year or two (at most), given his age and given the mileage on his knees for around 5-8 million a year.
But for 15 million a year for 3-4 years at the age of 35? I don't think that's the way to go.
I would much prefer that too but I can't see him taking that much of a pay cut. I wouldn't mind meeting in the middle at around $11 mil/year. I don't see him retiring at the end of this contract and I would hate it if he had to go to another team to finish his career. But I have faith he would do what's best for the franchise assuming it comes to that.
No doubt about that. Chandler would be a very attractive add, but it's not even close to enough for Parker. Gallanari and Chandler play the same position. Lee is a very good player, but the Spurs don't need a big forward, that's a poor defender. Eddie Curry's only value is his expiring contract. Toney Douglas is an option at PG or either Chris Duhon.
The Knicks have no other young players and didn't fare well in the most recent draft. The problem is the knicks don't have much else to offer because they practically gutted their roster, clearing cap space in anticipation of making a run at LeBron.
, the Spurs can't even procure a first round pick from them until 2013. Overall, the Knicks are simply a very poor trading partner.
Getting a third team involved would be a heckuva lot better.
Also trading Parker creates a gigantic hole at the PG position. Many forget Hill isn't a true PG.
I'm locking this thread. People are bumping old threads and confusing everyone.
There's plenty of new Parker-Knicks threads to post in.
