He is getting afraid of being shipped off to Toronto, Minn or Sac.
If we lost hill and the end game was klay Thompson now that would be something I could get behind. Hills position can't be defined whereas Thompson is a true 2 with upside, crazy size at the position and good shooting. But seriously; If this franchise got rid of tony parker, tony parker, and the grand prize was an unproven rookie out of wash st I might cry. Thompson is a player I thought was a sleeper though, if he slipped to late lottery and we traded hill I would definitely be cautiously optimistic, perhaps even delude myself quickly into hysteria.

It's times like this that make me recall what ducks once told me.... If Pop when shooters go, so was CIA.You know this is bad when Jon Barry, yes Jon Barry is flat out saying "if this is true, you are way undervaluing TP on the market. You have to get more than Thompson. Especially when you have plenty of shooters and James Anderson in the wings. It makes no sense to me what they are doing"
And this is exactly why timvp is the mother in' man around here. Sure TP might have pissed some people off, but people are missing the point. He's still a major piece of this team. Without him, all the easy fastbreak buckets are gone, and so could some of the open looks for 3-point shooters with all the space TP takes up driving the lane. And this draft isnt very strong anyway, so they sure as better not just trade him for a pick...that would be beyond ing stupid. I want to see this Big 3 die out TOGETHER. Why not? The Mavs just proved that a little tinkering can go a loooong way in the NBA. They held on to Terry and Dirk, and it got them a championship this year. The Spurs just need to roll with the Big 3, and a new supporting cast. I'm all in for seeing what TD, Manu, TP, Neal, Anderson, Splitter and a couple of other guys can do. If that means getting rid of guys like RJ, Bonner (Please somebody take him!), Blair, and Hill, then so be it.....
It's common ing sense. Tony is worth WAY more than a ing draft pick. If they trade him, it better be for a draft pick or multiple picks, and 2 or 3 players who have already proven themselves in the NBA......
plus #5 pick sons..

Here's what I just caught following McDonald on twitter.
KLAY TO THE SPURS--OOPS.... Spurs also want to unload RJ and the three years and $30 mill left on his deal.... As if, er, no takers yet.
FORGET 'RUMORED,' MYSTERY MAN SPURS WANT TO TRADE UP FOR IS DEFINITELY KLAY THOMPSON... Due in NY yesterday, detoured to SA to meet Pop, RC
This was retweeted by McDonald from Mark Heisler from the LA Times.
Here's a clip of Thompson, son of Lakers big man Mychal Thompson, analyzing his game.

If the Spurs are indeed going to trade away Tony Parker, I would expect nothing less than the 5th pick in return for him and no ty contracts back. And the 5th pick assuming that Brandon Knight is still there on the board, otherwise Parker might as well stay.
If they trade Tony for just a pick it better be #2.
One league source said the chances of the Spurs reaching a deal with the Kings isn’t likely.
From yahoo article that just went up 20 minutes ago.
Guessing it's this one?

Parker hopes to stay with Spurs
NEW YORK – Tony Parker(notes) reiterated Wednesday that he hopes to remain with the San Antonio Spurs – even if the choice isn’t up to him.
The Spurs have had discussions about trading Parker for a high pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, Yahoo! Sports reported Tuesday. The Toronto Raptors and Sacramento Kings, who hold the fifth and seventh picks, respectively, have talked to the Spurs about Parker. One league source said the chances of the Spurs reaching a deal with the Kings isn’t likely.
Spurs guard George Hill(notes) also has drawn some trade interest from teams with picks in the middle of the lottery.
Parker said he hopes to finish his career in San Antonio.
“I just hope I stay in San Antonio,” said Parker, who is in town for Steve Nash’s(notes) charity soccer game. “I love it in San Antonio. I’ve had some great years in San Antonio. I just re-signed four years and I hope I can stay there.”
When asked specifically about possibly being dealt to Toronto or Sacramento, Parker said only: “We will see. I love it in San Antonio.”
Parker, 29, has played for the Spurs his entire 10-year NBA career after the team drafted him 28th in 2001. He averaged 17.5 points and 6.6 assists this season and signed a four-year, $50 million extension in October that begins next season. Only $3.5 million of $12.5 million in the final season (2014-15) is guaranteed if Parker is waived by June 30, 2014.
Parker helped the Spurs to the Western Conference’s best record this season, but didn’t play well early in their first-round loss to the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies. Shortly after the Spurs’ exit, French media reported that Parker said the team’s days of contending for championships had all but ended. Parker has since tried to distance himself from the comments.
“That’s not what I said, so I’m not going to talk about that,” Parker said. “I don’t want to talk about that.”
Raptors guard Leandro Barbosa(notes) was on his way to meet Parker at a local club Tuesday night when he was told about his team’s trade conversations with the Spurs. Barbosa, who believes the Raptors talked with the Spurs, didn’t end up meeting Parker, but planned to have dinner with him on Wednesday.
“I told him [via text message], ‘Are you going to play with me?’ ” Barbosa said. “He said, ‘Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.’
“I would love to play with him. You never know what can happen in the NBA. I guess we got to wait and see what’s up.”
ya that one
Thanks!
parker ain't going no where

I'm told Minny taking D Will if don't trade no. 2 pick...Kanter talk is a smokescreen...Sac not trading for TParker b/c of TP's contract...
Interesting.....
Good let the big three go out together, we as fans have to face the fact that this era is just about done.
Because of TP's contract? What they . It is a very reasonable contract that is not even fully guaranteed (41M for 4 years = ~10M per year).
Hmm I`ll do it, but without Hill. Spurs could send pick, Blair, whatever. Calderon couldnt stay healthy whole season and Spurs havent got any backup

No chance S Nash goes to NYK or Minny....Ray Felton to Sac for No. 7 a possibility....
So Sacto wants a "win-now" vet that is still in his prime that can propel them into the playoffs for what averages out to less than 10M per year. Good luck.

The San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers nearly completed a blockbuster trade on Wednesday afternoon, but the deal fell apart in the late stages. San Antonio was prepared to ship Tony Parker and the #29 pick to Portland in exchange for Andre Miller, Nicolas Batum and the #21 pick, but the trade died when the Spurs insisted that Richard Jefferson somehow be included in the deal. Other players would have been included in the trade to make salaries work. Talks have quieted for now, but they could pick back up tomorrow if one of the teams has a change of heart.

Wow. If RJ is somehow included and they added another piece then that would be awesome.
