Probably wait until after the finals next year and execute a sign and trade.
Does he get one? If so, when (Summer, Fall, Spring?) and for how much?

Do you remember all those trade Parker thread years ago?
don't see a need to extend him yet. there are all sorts of question marks next offseason... Duncan/Manu possibly retiring. will parker play better with a rest-filled offseason, or was last season a decline that will continue? I'd wait the season out... Parker is a terrific player, but I'm not so sure the market will be that hot for a 33 year old point guard. i think the FO would be able to re-sign him if they wanted to
Good times, when Tony had some value...
TBH I think Tony Parker might actually want to leave after next season. If Duncan and Ginobli leave, he might leave to. I think he wants the spotlight and attention in a city like NY.
TP goes to NY to expand his brand. Can't see him playing for the Lakers so it's NY for TP.
Thats what I think to, Tony Parker has always been more of the big city type of guy. He hangs out with all the celebs, etc. I think the Knicks will go after him again.
3 years, $30-33 million. Partially guaranteed for 1/3 of his salary in his third season. After next season. That sounds fair
33 year old with mileage! I can see a team like NY trying for him because of the name and he would bring experience there but overall you are right. Someone might throw some ridiculous contract at him though you never know?
I agree on being able to re-signing him too, they should be able to if Tim and Manu are off the books.
i dont think the Spurs would bend over for Parker, even if they have all the cap space available. it sorta sucks that he got fleeced during his prime (12.5 mil per during 2012 and 2013 which were borderline MVP level regular seasons) since he signed his deal at his lowest value, but the spurs would probably be expecting a team-friendly deal with him, especially if leonard will be getting max or near it
I was thinking along similar lines in terms of annual salary, but I do think they'll extend him in the spring (I'm expecting a really good year from him). I was thinking four years with a descending contract structure and the fourth year only partially guaranteed. I don't think they'll be using cap space for a couple years because I see Duncan and Ginobili coming back after next season (and a big Leonard extension), so there's no reason not to front-load Parker's contract. Plus, his cap hold in 2015 will be $18 million, so there's not a lot of benefit to waiting until the off season to re-sign him.
see bledshoe wanting 15 million a year and spur fans thinking tp is worth 10
If Manu and Duncan retire after next season, Parker leaving wouldn't really hurt
Bledsoe can want 15 mil/yr all he wants, doesn't mean he's getting it. As far as TP, he's definitely worth more than $10mil/yr but as a pg who has relied on speed most of his career and who is starting to get little chronic injuries here and there, anything more than his current average of 12.5 would be overpaying
3 year $30 million sounds about right.
lets see if bledshoe gets it he is more injury prone then tp
I wouldn't extend him for more than 2 years 15 mil (total)
which is why the spurs do well and (assuming phoenix caves) the suns dont
Which is why you aren't working for a NBA front office, let alone the Spurs FO.
He is in his mid 20's. Parker will be 33 and will have more than 1200 total games under his belt. How is he worth anywhere near $15 million again? $10-11 million per is fair.
yep, NBA front offices definitely overpay for free agents
Yeah cause he is only worth $7.5 million. Even in a down year he still averaged roughly 50% FG, 17 PPG, & 6 APG. He should be better next season with extended rest in the off season.
Didn't Manu get $13M/yr in his early 30s? I'm pretty sure Parker means as much to the future of the franchise remaining in contention as Manu did when he signed his deal. Given that he's a year removed from an MVP-level run and could very well return to that form with a summer off, I think the Spurs should move now on extending him at slightly above where he's paid today.
Tony should avg a minimum of 12mil a year till he's 35. Even if he's declining the cap is on the rise.
