Nothing.. Stop starting Parker threads. HE. ISN'T. GOING. ANYWHERE!
Get over it.
Not interested in trade exemptions, projects, POTENTIAL, spare parts, draft choices, cap relief, etc. !
Realistically,gurus, is there any player out there that we could trade Tony for that would come in NOW and make us a better team than w/o Parker?
Thursday's events have me convinced that the Knicks or Nets will now pay max for Tony in order to level the playing field with the MAGI. What Thursday proved is that teams are willing of sacrifice success in the short term. If Melo doesn't resign that would make him and Tony available next year for free. Personally, I don't want my point guard to have one foot out the door IF the Spurs are serious about another run with Tim. Love the Big 3! If it becomes the Big 2 it is time to blow it up and move on.

He's not going anywhere. Will retire here just like Manu and TD
god thats gross
Right now Parker is the best option. But thats not the point.
TD and Manu are headed for a cliff, and so are the Spurs. TP gives us the potential to cross that gap without falling in the lottery pool.
Without panning talent, you'll never replace the production we are about to lose from Many and TD.
HOWEVER, Im down to keep TP this year and make a run. If Tiago is not our answer, we can use Tony at the trade deadline.
The only person I can think of that even seems quasi realistic is Chris Paul. Even that seems like a stretch with regards to being to obtain him via trade.
again, that swap makes sense now.
If your planning for the future you want picks and prospects.
Honestly, TD is never going to be TD again. We need to start thinking in terms of a post-TD era...one that actually started when his knees went caput a while back.
Chris Paul is good for now and the future and the question was about now, not the future.
She should be back to her normal self in a month or two.
lol... and now we have two prospective talents too!
1. The Spurs are better with Parker than any player they can trade for.
2. Parker will sign a max contract next year.
3. That max contract will most likely not be with the Spurs.
4. The best possible cut bait trade might be for Smith of Atlanta. (Dice would go too to get Bibby).
5. The Spurs are not going to trade Parker and would rather deal with him being the one to walk than being the ones to send him away.
I'd go with #4 at the trade deadline if it was possible. I don't want to end up like the cavs and get nothing in return for my superstar. After that RJ can be used as trade bait either the same year or the year after for a PG (considering Josh Smith takes over at SF)
That would leave us with
PG: Bibby, new pg through RJ trade
SG: Manu, Hill
SF: Josh Smith, James Anderson
PF: Blair, Splitter
C: Timmy
If the concern is Parker leaving for nothing, perhaps something like Andre Miller and Greg Oden for Tony Parker? You get a competent point guard for "now" and a possible big man for the future when Duncan is gone, one that carries a lot of injury risk but still a player that has value.
Obviously, not sure Portland would do that though.
highly doubtful
Can we just cool it with this fantasy bull for a while? The Spurs roster, for better or worse, is taking shape and they have given no indication that "re-building" is happening this year. If they trade Parker, they are giving up on contending for a le. It's over. Duncan and Ginobili can retire and the Spurs can join the bottom dwellers and hope for another miraculous #1 draft pick.
This is it. There is no re-tooling. After the big three are done, it's over.
no thanks, Oden will never amount to anything in this league IMO
These are all terrible ideas. Just really awful. Really.
Perhaps. The whole point was trying to get something for Tony Parker instead of watching him leave and the Spurs get nothing. The proposal was just an idea, and probably a doubtful one anyway because chances are Portland doesn't do it. But it was just an idea based on the trepidation that Parker leave for nothing.
The only way Parker gets traded this year is at the deadline if the Spurs have no shot at making the playoffs. Period.
With the uncertainty of the CBA, the uncertainty of whether the Spurs are a championship-contending team or a rebuilding team, and, perhaps most importantly, this off-season showing that teams are quite happy to do sign-and-trades to accommodate their new star players, the Spurs best bet might be to simply let Tony become a free agent, even if they think there's a good chance he's going to leave.
At the trading deadline[2011] if we trade Tony it means that the Spurs are already dead in the water. If Tony is so limited at that point why would the Knicks[ or any other team] give him a max contract at 29. At the trade deadline[2011] if the Spurs are willing to trade Parket if means that the Spurs are in the rebuilding stage. Tim then has an option. Go to a contender[help the Spurs eith picks] or simply finish his career here.
Not able visualize Tim in any other uniform!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
