The people who want to trade Parker just aren't very bright.
Tony Parker should stay. We are all very indebted to him, for all his years in San Antonio, for everything he's done for the Spurs. He was pivotal in helping us win 3 championships (Finals MVP in the last one), that's 3 more than 90% of the league will ever see. Only a minority of NBA fans can say their point guard helped their favorite team win 3 rings, and thanks to Tony Parker we're in that minority.
Don't trade him Pop. Let him finish the remainder of his contract. If by the end of it he wants to opt out for more money elsewhere, then let him go. So what if we get nothing in return. Thats something we owe Tony Parker for all the times he's sacrificed his body for us.
And here's the problem with teams that are constantly building for the future: the future never materializes. Kobe Bryant was right in something he said when he demanded a trade. There is a sense of urgency to right now. We've seen first hand this season how much time it can take before players can gel. Tony Parker can help us make a run NOW. And now, is what we should live for, we'll worry about his departure when that time comes. We'll figure something out, we always do
I'm asking everyone to join me in e-mailing the organization asking them to keep Tony Parker. He has been so directly responsible for so much of our happiness, it's the least we can do for him. So come, follow me:

Stfu! You sound like a in Cavs fan! Parker(no ). He said he's leaving. So you just want him to walk on our ass next year instead of us getting some young talent or any dam thang! If you thinking hard or sayin yes to yourself as you read this your a dumbass! Trade his ass, & trade his ass TODAY! I check everyday to see if they got rid of his ass or Jefferson! I'd rather keep Jefferson.
What don't you dummies get? He said he's leaving you dam fools!?! Are you'll stupid or what?
I think u shd go support the fakers..
Y is dat? Cuz I don't think we should keep sum1 dat say they leavin our ass next year! Riiiite.I think u shd go support the fakers..
Look, Jermaine may not come off as a very bright individual, but I shall agree with him sorta. If we can get a good package for Tony that helps us win now and for the future, we can not pass that up...but that is a big "IF". Assuming that does not happen, than we would be fools to trade him. Also, this pe ion idea is just ridiculous. Really bro., grow up. What possible difference could this make?
And Chazley, you have not shown too much lately for us to conclude you are very bright yourself.
I'm probably the best poster on these forums. If you read my last thread, you'd agree.
With the contracts being dished out in FA, its probably going to take a long-term max or near max contract to keep him past this next season. Do you really want a 32-33 yr old Parker, who will have lost some of his speed, making that much money after Duncan and Manu retire and the Spurs are in rebuild mode?
I dont.
Not only are you ignorant, but your arrogant as well it seems. I did read your last thread and I, along with almost everyone, pretty much agree it was ridiculous. You scream troll. Best poster? I hope you are a troll, because if you are not, it would just be all the more sad. Lets go Chaz!! Bring back RMJ for the vet. min. because he can get us 12 pts. with 40% shooting in less than 20 minutes...right bro? Right?.....What a . So no, I do not agree.
I bet Holt will see this and it will completely change everything!
Tony is gonna do what he's gonna do. The thing is not that the Spurs don't want to keep him. The thing is that they don't think he's worth max money, especially if he's gonna play international ball.
Tony is worth max money to other franchises in spite of that. So in his mind, he should get paid, and he's right.
So he gets to choose max money and freedom to play international ball without guilt, or the Spurs.
It's just too likely he'll choose the cash, especially if the Spurs can find a suitable trade partner, that would be chomping at the bit to give TP max dollars, but that also had some pieces the Spurs wanted.
All that said, I agree that IF TP is playing at a high level come trade deadline, then the Spurs need to seriously consider letting his contract just play out in the interest of bringing a championship home this year, and like you said, let the chips fall where they may in the offseason.
TP can still get more money signing with the Spurs for max hometeam dollars and then getting traded, like Bosh was trying to work out initially, so even though he could just walk away, it's in his best interest to work with the Spurs and get a good deal done for everyone.
And if the Spurs win a championship, with TP again being a vital piece. Well, the Spurs might just decide that TP is worth, say, 90% of the Max instead of 80%.
Actually, he might
The Spurs at one point considered trading David Robinson for a then young Chris Webber. It wasn't until fans crashed their phone lines that the organization decided against it
The Spurs stand for loyalty, commitment, old fashioned conservative family values remember?
Dumping our starting PG that helped us win 3 rings doesn't fulfill those principles. We're not going to get a single player on the same caliber as Tony Parker. It's going to be some 3 for 1 package deal. It's not going to be as good as anyone thinks. And even at that, as RJ has proven, it takes time for teams to gel, especially with a coach as stubborn as Pop
We will make playoffs without Tony Parker, but if any fan thinks that we have a serious shot in making the western conference finals without Tony Parker with what the likely 3 for 1 package deal will be, I'd like to hear your reasoning. Championships aren't won in 3 seasons from now, their won right now
We need a ring now, and our best shot is with Tony on our team. We'll worry about the contract situation when that time comes. For now let's worry about the best team it's possible for us to have by the season opener
Calm down man. So much anger over there
We can have a productive conversation without such hostile, almost violent language. Chill out
Holt might listen to us? Wow. Your ridiculous. Also, I am not for trading TP, but IF a good package comes our way than we have to consider it. Lets face it, we are not getting to the WCF as is anyways, unless a miracle happens. I get our shot is right now!! I know!! But our shot is slim as we stand now. I dont want to see TP go anywhere, but I fear we are trying to fight a losing battle at the moment. Then again, it will all depend on what we do from here on out. We may have a shot if our moves are good. Is he the better option at this point? Of course. All I am saying is I am not against the idea completely. I understand your reasoning and pretty much agree,...but the childish pe ion is as I said, ridiculous. After all, they know what they are doing and we dont.
Put yourself in the Spurs' shoes. If they keep him, they risk losing him for nothing next season if he chooses to not extend. It would be wise to see what the Spurs can get by shopping him a little bit to make an educated decision.
I do not like the idea of trading Parker, but you have to admit that dangling him out there is the intelligent choice. You don't HAVE to trade him, just see what you can get for him.
Dat was alil/alot rude! I couldn't sleep, an all I've seen on tv is Labrick dis & LaBrick dat! It had me irked! My bad man. But I still stand by trading him. I've seen games where Jefferson ran the break wit TP an TP wouldn't dish it. TP an Money Ma$on always do it. Jefferson as a spark off the bench/alil style off the bench would be nice & eye candy for the young fans that like to see ESPN highlights(his dunks was posted all on ST with alota people ridin his )! Now ur going to say he didn't play defense! Well I got a answer for dat too! If your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend didn't noticed you when u tried to do the small stuff an u never got head/johnson/blowjob for it, would u perform yo best night in & night out! NOPE
Even though most Tony Parker trades proposed are stupid and even though most Spurs fans underrate what Tony Parker has meant to this team throughout the years, I'd go pack his bags if the Spurs got a trade offer that would improve the team.
Mr. Timvp ur so rite! I was one of the main ones that wanted him gone & when he went down I was happy but I found myself watching GHill & seeing him do things & I noticed me sayin "Parker wouldve done this or Parker wouldve pushed the ball up instead of having to keep lookin up at Pop". So but its the fact that he said he wants to go in my book! He's no more special then Manu. But he say he wanna be traded if Hill starts!?! him, how long has Manu came off the bench an as a TEAM PLAYER accepted his role!?! Parker!!!!!
You say that Tim is right...but then the rest of your post is basically the an hesis of the points that Tim has made regarding Parker.
Bull !!!!! Tony Parker will be paid 13 million dollars next year for those times he sacrificed his body for us. I repeat, 13 million dollars in one year. Doesn't that sound like that is compensation enough? Look I'm all for loyalty, but my loyalty is to the Spurs. If they let Tony walk without getting anything in return then they would be putting an inferior product on the market. That is not a smart way to do business. The Spurs have to protect themselves from that possibility. I know I would. The Spurs are a business with a family atmosphere, but in the end still a business.
Call me dumb but I've never used the word An hesis so idk what it means but I was sayin I want them to trde him just cuz he said he's going to leave next year but at the same time, I was one of the people that didn't realize how important TP was but now I do! But still trade his ass!
Then you must have had a senior moment.
It's just a question of what horizon being adopted for your assessment. If you only focus in next year, then probably you will keep TP unless, by the trade deadline, the team doesn't improve enough to be a real contender and can't pose serious challenge to Lakers.
If you adopt a longer horizon, then you will definitely be more open to trade TP unless SPURS are committed to entertain TP salary request for whatever cost. Judging from the last negotiation which triggered quite a significant dispute for extra 2 million among Front Office and TP that evenutally required TD to arbitrate, I am afraid SPURS is quite open to trade TP
Where do I unsign?
