So that isn't the direct quote.
Bayless isn't that good, he's very overrated as a prospect, just like most Portland prospects..
As I continue to say..trading Parker makes absolutely no sense..if the Spurs trade him, they're waving the white flag, because no GM in the NBA would be stupid enough to trade a potential franchise player for Tony Parker on an expiring contract..if you aren't looking to the future, then you're looking at it from a present perspective, and the Spurs won't get anybody that could produce better than Parker can at the moment..
Portland isn't going to trade Roy, so the only other player I would want is Oden, and Portland isn't stupid enough to trade him for Parker..
So that isn't the direct quote.
Not as a point guardThe kid has a bright future.
He has the potential to be very good scoring PG.
Isnt that basically what Parker is?

"Again, I want to make it clear: I want to stay in San Antonio," Parker said Wednesday, according to the Express-News. "My heart is in San Antonio. But it doesn't seem to matter what I say. The rumors get worse and worse, and as I go through my free-agent year, I know there will be even more.""I'm happy in San Antonio," Parker said, according to the report. "My wife and I are very happy. I built my home base here, so why wouldn't I want to be here?"
Quick fix to all that, Tony: Sign an extension.
"So if they don't match we have a green light on TP"
I heard Pop talking on the phone and he was laughing about the recent rumor of Tony Parker going to Portland. He said coach Nate was referring to the custom toilets they were putting in the locker room. The toilets are green and the toilet paper they ordered is blue. He wants to put green lights on the blue paper so they will match.
Maybe for Rudy, Batum, Bayless and a future 1st rounder
You're not seriously comparing Splitter to Aldrige are you? What a joke. I'd do TP for LA straight up....ok maybe LA and Bayless.NO need for LMA now that we have Splitter. I'm fine with the trade if Batum is included.

Guys,
Do you really think a guy like Parker would have agreed to skip the Worlds with the NT if he was in the mindset of leaving...
No effing way. By skipping the worlds he is doing what is required to sign back with the spurs, otherwise he would have laughed at the requirement of the spurs and would have been in Turkey at the end of the summer...
I agree, both trades you outlined are a joke.
Parker made it pretty clear today that he wants to stay. That interview probably deserves its own thread.
Are you talking about this May article?: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5186053
can't wait for that "the decition" show in about 12 months, where suddenly Pop comes in and sais to Parker: "DARE YOU!!!"
Parker: "Ok boss!"
I honestly can't understand why every blogger's fantasies are taking their place as rumor.
I don't know who'is the author of that article but I'm pretty sure that he doesn't have any insider information.
Out of curiosity, when was the last trade in which the team that got the best player ( of the traded ones ) got worse value than the team that got lesser players/potential?
but but but parker hates SA wants to live in New York! His wife is making him! He's all about hollywood!!!!
now thats a ty "rumor"
God dammit. I looked at the day but not the month.Yes, that's the one I meant. I was all excited about it too.
I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
What is clear so far:
- Parker wants to stay
- Parker wants a max contract
- we have no clue what the Spurs want
Several possiblities:
a) the Spurs want Tony Parker to stay, and are willing to pay max price. That could be consistent with e.g. asking RJ to opt out and signing to a longer term, lower contract to clear some space.
b) the Spurs want Tony Parker to stay, and aren't willing to pay max price, or not willing to give him an extension right now. This is consistent with Parker then going to the press and claiming he is ready to test the FA market next year and that if he has to move, he will. Just some basic technique to muscle up the negotiation, i.e. "I am not afraid to walk"
c) the Spurs don't want to keep Tony Parker after the end of his contract, but would probably want to get something in return. In this case it goes through an extension and a trade. All bets are off, but I feel this is highly unlikely.
I am absolutely amused by these silly Trade Parker threads. The Spurs are not some rebuilding team that has to give up family gold to recoup talent for the long term. They are in a "win now" mode for sometime now and are in the mix for the championship even if they lag the Lakers in the WC and possibly the new Heat.
If indeed the worry is about Parker leaving for nothing, the only trades that should be considered are ones, which will keep the chances of championship intact. Does this silly trade rumor keep them alive? Far from it.
The only trades I would make of Parker now are if we get a superstar in return. A CP3 for e.g.
Look you silly as Parker fans! His ass is good as gone! Matthews got signed for a reason! Rudy & Miller will be traded to the Spurs(which I think Miller is a savey vet we need). The only thing holding up this trade his the 3rd person in this trade. The Blazers wants to give up Bayless but the Spurs wants Batum. They're at a syare down to see who's gone break 1st, & this can play out all the way up to the dam tradin deadline. So STFU about Parker!
If Parker goes elsewhere next year who will be the PG? Are they going to sign CP3?
We couldn't have a PG next year so we'd need to find one pg anyway.Moving Parker wouldn't be thinking Hill is ready.
I'm tired of all the "you can't trade parker because Hill is not a PG". Maybe it's true,maybe not but Tony could go anyway so we have to explore all the ways.
It's not as if Tony had 4 more years signed.
