Interesting to see if the Spurs shop Mills to Detroit or Milwaukee given their injuries. Both are in the playoff race in the east.

If the Spurs are planning to get max cap space they'd likely have to move Mills (and hope the cap jumps more than projected, to around $68.5 million)

Mills has such a reasonable contract, plus he's a quality player that they've developed -- I can't see the Spurs trading him unless they got something unbelievable in return.

If they want to clear a max salary spot ($20 million) they would have to move Mills. That or trade one of Splitter, Diaw, Parker or renounce Green in FA. It may not happen during the season but its certainly possible.

That Parker extension is looking horrid now. If they waited one more year to resign him, they would have had a lot more flexibility with the cap.

If the Spurs are planning to sell off family silver and give up the possibility of winning the le this year with the idea of perhaps be able to contend in the future... you know where I am going..

[Spursfanfromafar]

Pistons, I suspect will land up Pablo Prigioni as a backup for Augustin. Won't miss too much of a beat, methinks.

I defended it then, now not so much. It did kill our flexibility, a bit. Its also looking bad because he appears to be declining much quicker than expected. 2nd worst P.E.R of his career (15.), worst win shares per 48 minutes of his career (.80) and worst net rating of his career (-4)

Unless the cap jumps past the projected $66.5 million to around $71 million (if my math is right) we'd likely have to part with Mills to clear up max space.

Which would be a shame because Mills is a much better player than Parker at the moment.

The place the Spurs might make a significant move is after the trade deadline and all of the buyouts occur. The Spurs have the full MLE available for the right candidate which is more than any other contender, I believe. The Spurs could look very attractive to a veteran who can also make the most money here. If they don't like the menu then they just stay with home cooking.

[100%duncan]

This team has no chance of repeating if they move Mills. That's that.

[Spurs9]

Mr Panda is headed back to the US from Chin

[Brazil]

Mills is not going anywhere...

As for Parker, I'm not sure it exists a worst moment to shop him around

[jon123spurs]

Drummond for CoJo works in the trade machine. So if Detroit needs a backup pg. They probably say no lol.

Eh, the Nets would jump all over him in a deal that moves Williams. , the Kings would probably take Parker instead of Williams, maybe even give up Collison for him.

Like Collison/Derrick Williams/rights to swap firsts with SAC for Parker/Ayres. Who says no?

It would be great to ship out Ayres for a top-55 protected pick to free up a roster spot + sign JGreen to one of those 1 guaranteed & 2 team option deals, freeing up a roster spot for an inevitable buyout. What does the buyout market look like? Given how many teams are competing, it seems pretty bleak.

Lionel Hollins is definitely the type of low IQ coach that would take Parker. Doesn't believe in stats/metrics and primarily gauges talent based on the "eye test". Unfortunately, there's no on on the Nets I really want that would make sense in a Parker trade. Johnson would be nice but his contract is terrible and impossible to trade for. Deron is better than Parker but it's not much of an upgrade and Pop probably hates him after the way he threw Sloan under the bus.

Anyone with a brain.

I guess I'm asking which side gives up more value.

a lot of people say no

I don't think anybody will take a risk on Parker and his contract before knowing if he can come back at a decent level

[Spursfanfromafar]

Derrick Williams is more or less a draft bust. Has shown no improvement at all. I don't think he fits the Spurs in any manner. Collison is quick and has improved his decision making but his defense is suspect and he is a middling PG, whose work I think, can be upstaged by the Mills-Joseph combo.

If ever I decided to trade Parker, I would do so only if there is a young big got in return who could be developed to add to a post-TD frontline and to perform adequately.
