Parker isn't off the books.
When Duncan retires, Parker is out the door.
Do you understand that you need to match salaries, right? You're talking $3m dollars combined for Hill/Blair, even less for Hill/Splitter. That's less than the MLE. What quality talent you expect to fetch for that?
And no, Parker signed a 4-year $50 million extension with the Spurs last October. He's not coming off the books anytime soon.
Even if he's 'out of the door' you need to trade him for an equal salary. At least for one more year.
lol why can't people admit they're wrong?
No problem,
Two things I like about what RC said:
1. They are finally acknowledging that they don't have the size at certain positions to contend against teams in the future.
2. Again they mention they will explore trades to improve the roster; "organizationally they will look in different areas maybe in the past we would have maintained a different position on our roster."
I just hope the Spurs don't regret passing on Tyler Honeycutt.
You and your bolded regrets.
Actually, I take back that Hill/Splitter would be less. Splitter is set to make $3m plus $2m from Hill. That's $5m, which is still less than the MLE for last season.
Parker is out the door when Duncan retires. Its a package deal. There are players. And Kevin Love for one. Players become available at the deadline every year so its impossible to tell this early on in the process.
I will repeat. When Duncan retires, Parker is out the door.
According to whom?
and what if Duncan doesn't retire for 2 or 3 more seasons?
Question... What's compelling Duncan to stay? Why should he add more wear and tear on his body and continue to struggle through the season when the Spurs aren't going to contend?
What's a 'package deal'? He's under contract for 4 more years for $50m. If he wants to 'walk out the door', he needs to be traded, meaning the Spurs need to take on as much salary.
Kevin Love will be signing a max contract when his rookie contract is over. Before his contract is over, there's no way Minnesota is trading him for MLE money. I can't think you're serious even suggesting that.
And the Spurs will be keeping Splitter simply because a 7 footer for $3m/year is an absolute bargain. Ultimately, it's Splitter that has more value than Hill, which again undermines your point of Hill's perceived value.
The Spurs couldn't extract more that $2m from Hill. They got 2 picks and another player's rights for him. The players might pan out or not, but on it's face they got great value back from him.

Question: Package deal?
According to whom?
because he loves the game and gets paid millions of dollars? ... serious question?
I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that we were all supposed to have you screen our posts before submitting them. I'll make note of that, going forward.
You and your persecution complex.
LOL, don't be a clown. The Spurs can get plenty in return for Parker. He's NOT untradeable and plenty of teams will be chomping at the bit to trade for Parker next offseason.
I wouldn't put anything past David Kahn.
Splitter's value was overshot by a mile and a half this past offseason. A non scoring big who got bounced around by backups all season long when he saw the court isn't too awe inspiring. He has his work cut out for him next season.
According to big bird.
Parker thinks so too.
Link to Duncan saying it.
And explain your package deal bull .
Duncan has never been about the money. He'll never have to lift a finger the rest of his life. His body and health is more important.
Then why did he want so much of it?
Serious question.
