Thank Splitter and Diaw for that
Why? We had to extend Tony before we signed any free agent anyway, it just happened earlier than expected.

Great news. He'll be a spur for life no doubt.
Peter Holt recently said in an interview that Tim Tony and Manu can play for however long they want for the Spurs. I don't think he was joking or exaggerating. The Big three will all retire as Spurs, there was never any alternative.
Buy while it's low. Good job Spurs FO.
TP has always chosen security over uncertainty & it appears this was no different. I am sure he took into consideration some of the injuries popping up and will probably be a better than expected contract for the Spurs IMO. I don't think he gets paid his market value, it will probably be a value deal like his last deal.
Good news is either way, it was the right thing to do. Kawhi's deal is much more complicated and hopefully it's not a 5 year extension. I wonder if Tim/Manu are next? Green is in line for a deal as well, but he might test the market.
Tony getting paid. He's overdue though tbh. He's been underpaid his whole career.
I disagree. They could have waited and done what they did with Duncan. Better for all parties provided Parker doesn't fall off this season.
If 2013 Manu got 14M/yr
It was only right Parker got the same at the same age
@MarkDeeksNBA:
"Tony Parker's maximum value extension would be three years and $43,335,938. Bet that's how much he got."
Well, damn. While it's fair, TP took the max. No more "discounts" and that hurts the cap space situation. I guess TP feels that TD/Manu will have to take the paycuts from here on out as he is the youngest.
That's a max extension. Tony's finally joined the club. Kawhi will be next.
This works out from a Spurs perspective but not so much from a Parker (and Parker's agent) perspective.
He'll still be making less than Kawhi. Not a bad deal by any means.
Why not? He could have gotten more by waiting.
Manu got a max extension at the same age.
Gordon Hayward now makes more money than Tony Parker the #2 best player this franchise has ever seen
The Spurs prioritize taking care of their own over anything else. Just the way it is and one of the reasons why I love this organization so much.
Mark Deeks at Sham reporting his max possible deal is $43.3/3yr, crazy bargain. Means his salary next year will be at most $13.5m
Calling that the max is dumb tbh...
Right but this money is there now. Like you mentioned, does he get a max deal next offseason if he sustains a Derek Rose injury in February? It's an extreme scenario but nonetheless, something he has to consider.
How are people acting like this isn't a discount? $14m per for Parker is still cheap, even if he declines somewhat.
