Oh look, another Tony Parker trade thread.
Ok, I know this is getting ridiculous and I'm almost ashamed to start yet another one but I think this is a legitimate proposal if the number can work, reason being is Paul has a 2 year deal worth around $7 million per while Parker has a $13 mil deal left. There is reason to believe Paul will leave and speculation about Tony are being generated and I don't doubt them simply because it was verified by Tony that he was being shopped.
Here's the deal, Spurs can gain the services of Paul for 2 years while Paul more than likely leaving the Hornets is likely to occur, gaining Parker's service for 1 year then being free from his contract or having a possibility of re signing him while still having Collins as the backup shouldn't hurt them too much.
Spurs' can have a Paul and Ginobili backcourt which also help Jefferson because Paul can get him the ball, also I think Paul would help make Anderson a better player much sooner than he will playing next to Parker which is probably why the Spurs were also looking to trade Tony. A Paul-Ginobili-Jefferson-Anderson backcourt would be a bit more dangerous plus having a players with the skill set of Paul would certainly help Splitter as well.
Anyway, my question is (Bruno) can it be done numbers wise? Would any of you oppose this why or why not?
Oh look, another Tony Parker trade thread.
Hey I'm looking at it like this:
Spurs have 2 years to try to convince Paul to stay plus can transition into the after Duncan era much better having Paul-Splitter-Anderson-Blair
Hornets would have to be thinking cap space or trying to get Parker to stay.
I'm not saying they are but that's how I'm thinking. HEy merege this in with another Parker trade thread, I don't care but I think the question is valid
he has publically said mel, amare and him are going to form the big three in new york
Parker said this? I know Amare' said it but Parker said this?
Hmm. So out of fears that Chris Paul would leave them two seasons from now the Hornets are going to want to trade him for a guy who would leave them after next season. Sorry, don't see it.
If they can get his money off the books one year earlier by trading for Parker who has only one year left
Not sure where you got the info for Paul, but he under contract for $14.9M this season, so the trade should work. As to whether the Hornets could justify sending Paul to the Spurs for a likely one-year rental of Parker and maybe a sweetner (Blair?), who knows.
Spurs reportedly offered Parker for Paul last season and were rebuffed. It's possible with the firing of Jeff Bower they might have softened their stance, but it's still unlikely.
Chris Paul on the Spurs at this point is a pipe-dream.
Ok, @AfBlue, I must have misunderstood the numbers I saw on ESPN, they had $14 for 2 years, I thought it was saying something else which I thought was weird Paul was making much less than Parker. Ok, then my bad
Paul isn't going anywhere until the sale of the team is completed. A player that good effects franchise value. Unless Shinn is completely out of money, there's no way he trades him. Now of the sale falls through... all bets are off. But still, Shinn knows it would be pretty damn hard to sell tickets in NO without Paul given how much the community has embraced him.
paul not parker
If the Hornets decided to move Paul they can get a much better deal that includes high draft picks and some young players.
I don't even know if it's really desirable. Parker is an elite PG whose style works for the Spurs system, not in small part due to the fact that his style has been shaped by and for the Spurs system. I'm not sure what people would want from another elite PG at this stage. In other words, what would a guy like CP do that Parker can't within the limits of the Spurs system.
Some days I wish TP would go somewhere else for a while so that everybody can see him drop 8-10 assists on any given night. But it's not possible in SA because the Spurs mode of operation is not to have one player spoon feed the others, it's about ball movement, getting one man open and letting him take his shot. No PG would ever average 10 assists a night in this system. Not Nash, not Paul, not anybody.
Yea but they would have gotten it sooner if Parker decided to leave by re signing Parker in a sign and trade deal but no matter, my info was flawed from the start of the thread
paul said he was going to new york form the big three

If you have guys like Jefferson-Splitter-Blair-Anderson then Paul would make those guys better because of his skill set, Parker is good but in a different way and if you have Parker then you need to at least get rid of Jefferon. Paul play would be more infectious for these guys because of his passing
ahhhhhh cool the daily parker thread !
I a sure you, I wasn't trying to troll and I definitely didn't want to add yet another but with the info I had I thought this was valid
Chris Paul happens to be pretty good at pick and roll just like Parker is, he's just as good a scorer as Parker is and he's a better defender than Parker is. What possible concerns could you have about Paul fitting in here?
Even if Paul wasn't the prototypical guy to fit the Spurs system, it's Chris freaking Paul, not some role player. You change the system to fit his strengths.
Disagree about the system. Five years ago I would've agreed, but in the past couple years this has really become about the lead guards orchestrating. Last year Parker was supposed to really take over running the game on the court, but he was never healthy enough to do so effectively. Fortunately, Manu was there to assume that role in the latter half of the season.
If Chris Paul were on this team, as currently constructed, I think he's averaging more assists per game than Tony because he's just a superior player in that regard.
The Spurs' current personnel would be better suited for Paul than Parker in my view
I would love to have Chris Paul, but no matter the creative thinking that goes into dreaming up a proposal, you have a better chance of bedding Brooklyn Decker.
Because Paul would pass the ball! TP doesn't pass the ball!
Just ing shoot me
