Whatever the new CBA becomes, this deal will also help the spurs FO for the futures negociations (Hill, Blair or free agents)!!
Exactly.The best thing is that the Spurs didn't have to overpay and Parker has contract in line with being one of the top players at his position. It works for both sides.
I was wrong about Parker's side wanting too much money ( that was my initial assumption).
I never believed Spurs would pay Parker max money, and at that same time I never thought Parkers side would agree to the type of deal he did agree to. Which is why I'm very surprised and happy that it worked out for everyone so soon.

Great stuff... I was pretty sure they were gonna get it done, but didn't think it would happen this early. $12.5m/season is truly a bargain for a player like TP.
I was just about to bump my trade g.hill if tony resigns thread but I decided against it. I for one am all for trading g.hill but I would probably wait until the off-season. I would definitely be open to it and if the right offer came along I wouldn't hesitate.
It's too early to tell given the looming CBA changes, but the Spurs actually get a $1m discount and if you run the numbers with the same CBA structure that we have now, they would have been under the lux tax line again next season, right?
EDIT: Dice would need to come off the books for that, and it's a player option, not team option.
I'm pleased.
And shocked that he signed so cheap. I thought a reasonable expecatation would just have been a continuation of the 10% raises in his current contract, but he took quite a bit less. I was wrong about that.
4 year 50 mill, totally worth it. Great work by Spurs FO again. Gospurs go
Actually, he DID have a pay raise in a way,
His actual contract is 66M$/6 years = 11M$/year
Next contract will be 50M$/ 4 years = 12,5M$/year
i'm talking about the raises from year to year.
in 2010-11, shamsports has him at 13.5
basketball reference has him getting 1.05 raises the last couple of seasons.
a four year straightline continuation of where he is this year would be 4 years and like 63 million
Nice contract.

There is ESPN. There is Internet. There is Twitter. There is telegraph. And yet, Tim Duncan hadn't heard of TP's extension until just now.

Tim Duncan said he was hoping Parker contract talks had lingered longer: “That way I could mess with him. Now, I can’t do that.” #spurs
I never expected the Spurs to offer him max money. Obviously, Tony was well aware of and honest about his value and didn't expect one either. Knowing how forthright and direct the Spurs are, I'm sure this wasn't an issue. Now TP is happy and the Spurs have a contract that isn't an albatross to the franchise. The Spurs show again, why they are THE most astute FO in sports.
Congrats spur fans. But if i am a team with space Hill is my target. you can offer him a starting job in a media friendly town. i dont think he is a true PG ... but i like him a lot he would be good in the triangle. IF im the clips i take him over Baron ...
Tony to the Lakers ?I wanted to make it "short"...
But to answer you, I didn't mention those two teams, because they are so much "way over the cap", with not enough cap room next summer, that they were not even relevant in term of "prospection"...
I thought about it, but I don't see anyway Tony could have joined any of those teams... The only way was a sign and trade, but do you really imagine Pop accepting to trade Tony to the Lakers?
Feel free to prove me wrong!
THAT would have ed us
Great fron-office. the Lakers arent the only team that can get players to sign for less(artest/Odom) not a bad contract.
This is true, which makes Hill a trade target for whatever holes develop as the season progresses. If he stays with the team for the season, then he could get moved for a high draft pick.
Great news, Ididn'twant to see Tony in another uniform. I'm still going to ride his ass whenever he has a bad game, but bottom line I love him being a spur.
that was a great thread
Tim is pricelessJMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald

Just brilliant news. People love to hate on TP but he's a star and will be fundamental once TD and Manu retire. I really hope we see TP retire a one club player. Great move from the FO and will remove alot of speculation from the media to allow the team to focus on winning.
Great news.
Not at all surprising. I said all along as long as Pop is with the spurs Parker will also be.
Now it's time to trade his ass.
I agree and understood you the 1st time!
That's why I said "in a way" (on the global contract)...
GREAT ING NEWS!!!!!!!! So glad that Tony's going to do the right thing and stay with the Spurs.
