This does not bode well for Parker. I do not like it.
PLEASE GOD, let DA be wrong about the 4th year being a player option instead of a team option...
11 mil for a 34 year old RJ? *puke*
It'd be alright if the Spurs ever moved expiring contracts for assets, but they rarely do.
If only we had traded for Jared Jeffries last season...

At least we've got a SF now. Yes he is overpaid, and I gues he will suck in his 3rd and 4th year, but if we want to win it all we need him now. Jefferson was not that good last year, but I believe he will play much better this year. So I'm OK with RJ. The only thing that makes me angry is Bonner's contract. LOL @ raise. Pathetic.
if only he could hustle like that during the games
Might as well be, I highly doubt RJ would opt out of the 11 mil (highest paid year of his contract) near the end of his career.
By my calc's, the Spurs are now about $740K over the tax line if you count Anderson @ 100% of the rookie scale (he can sign from 80% to 125% of that figure) and the 4 Toros as fully guaranteed (though we know that they aren't).
That's 14 players on the roster by the way.
no doubt!
Blair/Hill/Splitter/RJ/Bonner...
I don't see a top 10 pick
I think it's the opposite. You really think the only players the Spurs want to have on the books past the next 2 years are two players who will be north of 33? I see this as the Spurs saying we don't want any years of rebuilding and we will try our hardest to make sure we put a le contender on the floor every season.
Props to our source for giving us the details almost three hours before the Spurs finally admitted the numbers.
That's almost exactly what Hairston made last season. Time to cut his useless ass loose.
Player option?? It must be a typo. Let me check again...
What an awesome off-season.
Spurs got swept in the secodn round and they come back with the same team and two rookies. Spurs have also spend about $50M for a choker and a player who failed to fit with the team.
Please, tell me it's a nightmare and not the reality...
Calm down, beautiful..
I doubt timvp would have made a thread like this without having a solid source, he's one of the more credible guys on the forum..I trusted him, and I was correct..
It's clearly some quality hustling from Jefferson and his people..How so? 15.2 million guaranteed + tax penalty incurred by the team vs. doing each other a favor and obtaining services back for those monies from a NBA vet. Not hustled....not even close! Not the greatest deal i will agree, but certainly not the worse (see atlanta and joe johnson).
He's going to make 40 million $ in the next 4 years, despite coming off his worst season, and clearly being on the decline..
No other team appeared to be willing to give him anything, and for good reason..he's severely overpaid, a lot more than his actual market value, and he's going to have long-term security without earning it..
He's getting his Frank Abagnale game on..
i don't know why he is "clearly on the decline".
i didn't see a lack of athleticism from him last year, i saw a player that was too hesitant and couldn't figure out his role with the team.
his percentages weren't far off from what he's done throughout his career - he just was a lesser option in the offense and got less attempts. if he had signed with a bad team this offseason, there's a good chance his numbers would have gone right back to where they were.
now, a player with his skill set will decline earlier in his 30s than later - but i don't think last year provided much evidence that his skills have decline yet.
the bigger issue is that he was never a great fit for this team in the first place.
Seriously this sucks badly.
So we'll be a contender for the playoffs this year, but not a championship. Then we're hamstrung financially for the next few years and may or may not be able to keep our best player beyond next year.
Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk k.......................................

At least they'll have two that are also underpaid.........
McDonald tweeted last year is partial guarantee.

Are the official terms of the contract out? If so what are they?
it.. lets just be positive and hope he can contribute next year. No reason to dwell on this contract.
Either Hairston or Jerrels is toast... Maybe both - that would give the Spurs enough room for a vet-min pickup later, if they needed one...
It's a numbers game...Spurs are already teetering on the lux tax line for this year and will have raises for everyone on the team, including sizeable ones for Duncan, Ginobili and now Jefferson.
You really think the Spurs are going to offer Parker a contract extension at or above his current earning rate given those future payouts?
I'm actually a little low on the calc, I used the wrong tax figure for the 4 Toros
