While RC woudl have never said "we are shopping Parker", he easily could have ignored McDonald text message instead of giving thsi answer to it.
If any team calls regarding Parker, RC would have to listen to what they had to say. But insisting on including RJ means one of two things: (1) he has very little interest in actually trading TP, at least for a lottery pick; or (2) by including RJ, RC is applying the stupidity test to the other GM to see if he can get a couple quality players and a lottery pick while divesting the Spurs of RJ's contract.
I second this. Except I'd take kemba. I'm CT all the way.
Duncan
Robinson
Gervin
Manu
Gilmore
Exactly. It happens all the time. What usually doesn't happen is a credible source like Yahoo with ties to the Spurs reporting it. If it's just run of the mill calls, it's usually not covered. If Yahoo is doing a feature on just the Spurs, it usually means it's a little more serious than just the obligatory "we are just making calls".
Oh yeah right, I remember when his jersey got retired back in 1992, it was so emotional.
The more and more I think about this whole situation, the more I think that this is the most likely scenario. By floating Tony Parker trade rumors, the Spurs raise George Hill's value. The effect wouldn't be huge, but even if it's just a few spots upward in the draft, it could make all the difference if they've got someone in particular targeted.
As much as I like Hill, trading Hill makes a lot more sense than trading Parker. Parker is a huge part of your current core who you just locked up for 4 years. He's an All-Star, and a big part of what makes the offense run. George Hill is a combo guard on a team that suddenly finds itself crowded at the 2. He's on the last year of his rookie contract, and he'll be looking for a decent payday next summer. If Parker is still around, the Spurs will want to give him bench/role player money. Given his potential and previous play, other teams might be willing to give him starter money. As the Spurs, if you're worried about this at all, you trade him now while his value is highest.
Can't believe I forgot about Gilmore.
:rollseyes So lefty is trying to argue and give someone crap about saying TP is a top 5 Spur when he himself prob has him in the top 7 like it's a huge difference.
This team was a le contender this year no doubt. They ran into the worst possible matchup at the worst time when Manu yet again is hurt for game 1.
I still think we should try and package a Hill/RJ/Blair combo for a small forward and then maybe try and sign a solid big.
I dont think trading Parker will win us a championship unless we get someone better. Ive heard also that the Spurs are looking into trading for Raymond Felton. Now thats an interesting concept. Felton looks like a player who is waiting for his oppurtunity to shine and has the fire to compete at a high level. He is big and can shoot the 3 and dish out assists. He needs some playoff polishing but that would be a trade that intrigues me.
Lefty was just trolling, which is what he does 90% of the time. At least he puts some humor in it most of the time, which makes it mildly tolerable.
Word has it that ESPN Insider has posted an agreed trade between the Spurs and Kings. Spurs get Cousins and #7; Kings get Parker and Jefferson. Skeptical until I see it, but...anyone with access willing to repost?
Anything Wojo reports almost certainly goes through Ludden. If there was nothing but some calls some teams made to the Spurs going on I'm pretty sure nothing would have been said.
The only thing McDonald has inside information on is the specifics of drinking and driving laws in the state of Texas.
That would be great for SA....not sure why the Kings would do that though, unless they planned on putting Tony at SG.
Cousins is a beast (owns Gasol too).
Word has it or is it actually posted? It either is or isnt...
Because Evans is a SG not a PG.That would be great for SA....not sure why the Kings would do that though, unless they planned on putting Tony at SG
Cousins is a beast (owns Gasol too).
And don't with me man, I don't see on ESPN about this. If the Spurs got Cousins holy
Don't have Insider, but was texted this by friend who does: "ESPN today reported a blockbuster trade between the San Antonio Spurs and Sacramento Kings...Spurs get F/C Demarcus Cousins and the #7 pick in this year's draft, while the Kings get PG Tony Parker and SF Richard Jefferson." Apologize if it's just a rumor, or my friend is screwing with me.
Why are you in' with me? If that actually happened I might cry with joy.
why? because we got rid of RJ? that's the only good thing I see in that trade.
All your ing about getting a good big for years and now you want to trade for the softest one in the league in Bargnani? And a 6'0" shooting guard who shoots 43% against NCAA defenses in Walker? Are you even a Spurs fan?

Meh, not really impressed with that. Though we would get rid of RJ's contract...
uhhhh.....that doesnt come close to working salary wise
He's played both for the Kings. Why would they give up one of their only true low-post threats when they have a decent backcourt already? Evans and Thornton is pretty damn good. TP is a more ideal PG no doubt, but they'd have no low post offensive threats left. Thompson, Dalembert, and Whiteside don't scare anybodyBecause Evans is a SG not a PG.
And don't with me man, I don't see on ESPN about this. If the Spurs got Cousins holy
Ugh. Think I've been screwed with. Sorry to drag you all into it.
