I try my best so thank u, thank u, thank u(in my Woody from Toy stories 3 voice)! but your a rider
an hesis = opposite.
not to put words in timvp's mouth, but i think he is only advocating moving parker in a deal that actually improves the team (short term or long term). those deals may be out there, but that strategy is significantly different than "trade his ass!"
it's also been noted that parker's statements are not much different than those that manu was making...and then manu re-upped. that, combined with the new CBA looming, make it FAR from a given that Tony's days with the Spurs are near an end.
Hey, let's release everyone from their contracts to say thank you. It's the least we can do.
You are a ing idiot.
I'm all for offering Parker a competetive extension, but if he's going to leave, trading him for something is better than nothing.
um ya........................lets keep charlie parker...................
lol an hesis
A pe ion? Holy . I get stupider every time I allow myself to come wallow in this lake of stupidity.
It's not about trading Parker just to trade him. He has stated recently that he doesn't want to sign an extension and wants to test Free Agency next summer. He also stated that going to another team would present an exciting challenge for himself. That doesn't sound too promising long term if the Spurs don't make drastic moves to stay compe ive. Signing Splitter and Matt Bonner are not a drastic move. Nor does it put us into contender status.
Parker is the biggest trade asset the Spurs have and the FO would be completely incompetent if they didn't at least entertain the idea of trading Parker for impact players.
If he bolts to another team next summer where does that leave the Spurs?
The people who are idiots are the ones who think just having a healthy Parker makes us an elite contender team. This is not 2007. A healthy Parker, Duncan and Manu still does not make us contenders.
Yea this basically sums it up for me. Its hard to give max money to a player with as much mileage as Tony who will also sacrifice his body overseas in addition to the NBA season especially when the franchise is transitioning.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%.
He's not going to get a Joe Johnson contract from San Antonio nor should they.
No, because your vocabulary fits right in with Los Angeles.
If no Splitter then we trade Parker (and Splitters rights). That would confirm the window is closed.
We keep Parker we are putting all our chips into this one season. With all the FA re ation we actually might have a chance next year because many teams are trying to get stacked with stars but probably won't be good teams.
Still, we are putting a lot of hopes and work into this season. No le and Parker is gone and we have few options moving forward other than lottery .

Don't even try to compare the two situations. D-Rob wanted to stay in SA and finish his career with the Spurs. It's obvious by his comments that Parker isn't nearly that loyal to the Spurs.
To with letting him walk for nothing. You Parker homers crack me up.
Unsingned.
ill pass, george hill is the future
I can't sign a pe ion that calls for keeping Tony Parker without condition. Most scenarios that could play out make it more beneficial to keep him and contend. But, if the Spurs do not feel they're contenders with their current team around the all-star break and/or if Parker has come out and requested a trade...the best thing for the Spurs to do is move him.
In '07, Parker became finals mvp because of Duncan. All you Parker fan boys seem to forget that the reason TP has had success with the Spurs over the years is because of one man, Tim Duncan. Once TP loses his wheels, he'll be garbage. If you can trade him now and get something viable in return, then you have to trade him. Same with any other Spur not named Tim Duncan.
yeah you're right w/o tim, TP would be trash a MLE kind of player
Come on, man, there's no room for grey area in this discussion.
Pick a side: Keep Parker At All Costs, or Trade Parker At All Costs
I don't owe Tony Parker anything; nor does he owe me a thing.
tony parker is a one trick pony. once he loses his speed he'll be an average nba point guard. trade him now while he still has value.
How can the Tony supporters be blind to this fact???? No one's even sure if he hasn't lost a step already. He can't pass or shot the three. If he's leaving next year, he HAS to be traded. WTF?!?!?!!?!?
