San Antonio, as I hear it, wants to attach Richard Jefferson to any Tony Parker deal. Can't see that appealing to Raps. Or Kings. Or ...
Trade Parker and make Hill the startiing PG will be a big mistake. Hill already showed he can't be a PG. I'd rather see that other deal: Hill for a end of the lotery pick. Sign a veteran PG, give all the SG minutes to Neal and draft a SF or a big

per Marc Stein on Twitter: RJ has to be attached to any TP trade. Don't know how to link a twitter post
! everyone knows RJ is a piece of
Might as well close this thread. No one is stupid enough to take RJ unless Isiah Thomas goes back to being GM.
Spurs looking to trade a good asset to get rid of a bad contract once again.
Parker, Jefferson, Hill & Blair for Rubio and #2 Pick. Hahaha. Just dreaming. :/
Sounds like a nightmare.
Exactly.
And as I stated earlier, the Jazz and the Kings are not exactly rolling in revenue. They are not perennial luxury tax payers. As such, there is no way either of these teams take on RJ's contract too.
In hindsight, the Spurs should "bit the bullet" and absorbed the final year of RJ's 15 mil. Had they done so, they could've possibly gotten rid of him at the trade deadline or simply allowed his money to come off the books this summer. There was simply no need for them to have rewarded RJ with a contract extension.
He ed a teammate's wife and then threw his other teammates under the bus by telling the media that a 61 win team's le window was closed. I can see why the Spurs would want to ship this piece of out of town.
lol Spurs. That's what they get for signing RJ to that very foolish deal.
The Spurs trying to get a team to take RJ with Parker is like me saying I will give you the best steak dinner you have ever eaten as long as you finish off the large cup of piss I'm going to pour you to go with it.
Iggy would be a good get, but the Spurs still need a strong PF.
I still can't believe the Spurs gave a $40 million contract for that piece of
They extended him after he was a colossal waste of space!
Don't think Philly interested in TP.
@ RJ 4 years, 39 million dollars.
Remember how happy we were when he opted out last year?
If the price is right, move Parker's ing ass.
You cant open your mouth and go spouting off and then go a popular ex teammates wife and come off with no repurcussions.
Calderon is also 29. Is he past his prime?
Stein's right. Teams like the Kings and Raps may be interested in Tony, but not at the price of taking on RJ.
If you want a candidate to take on RJ's contract in order to get Tony, then look no further than the team that just Donnie Walsh go. Dolan is an idiot who still listens to Thomas.
Tony+RJ for Billups, Turiaf, Douglas and the 17th pick.
NY should hold on to Billups because they need his expiring contract to have any chance at Howard, Paul, or any other top trade target, but Dolan may be the dumbest owner in professional sports. Amare/Melo/Tony will look pretty and sell tickets, but they're not winning the East.
For the Spurs, the trade is primarily a salary dump. After the 2011-12 season, the only salary larger than 4M would be the last year of Manu's contract. Positions them, at least financially, for the post-Duncan era.
Right on cue:
Getting Casspi + 7th pick for unloading Parker would be pure heaven. I think I'd do a frickin dance out on main street if this happened.

Not sure the NYK would do this, but it could be great for the Spurs. Billups' age is a concern, but he's still a very good floor leader. The rest of the guys we could use.Tony+RJ for Billups, Turiaf, Douglas and the 17th pick.
If Stein is right, it's pathetic.
A year ago, basically, EVERYBODY agree it was damn dumb to give $50M to RJ and Bonner. To erase that mistake now Spurs want to trade Parker!
If a Parker + RJ for crap trade happens, RC should be fired.
And of course the best way to go about that is to trade away the one true point guard you have for an unproven young SF and whatever junk you pull with the 7th.
The Spurs, and RC, have a history of trading very good assets to get rid of salary, cf. Luis Scola trade.A year ago, basically, EVERYBODY agree it was damn dumb to give $50M to RJ and Bonner. To erase that mistake now Spurs want to trade Parker!
