Spurs did not have the money to sign him so even if he was interested they were not going to be able to match the Grizz's offer.
So does cp3 prioritize winning over landing a much more lucrative contract in l.a. ? I dont think so.
My gut reaction is he could wind up here if the clippers completely blow it up and dont want to re-up with him at the max.

money could have definitely been the deciding factor. reports were that conley was put off with parker being on the roster.
i had to point out that your "how come the Spurs didn't sign Lebron" was utterly irrelevant.
Re-visit the Conley deal in about 3 years..
It came down to money. It usually always comes down to money when a player is in his prime at least 99 percent of the time unless your Lebron or Durant. Also can you provide proof Conley was put off by Parker. Send me some links that shows this to be the case because honestly your biased views on Parker are up there with Fox news biased views on blacks.at blaming Parker for Conley not being on the Spurs. Pretty re ed point made by you. By the way my Lebron response was all sarcasm. But according to your logic I can say Lebron was interested in the spurs at first but he was turned off by the fact that Kawhi was on the roster and that's why he picked Cleveland over the Spurs according to some made up reports I heard.
the thread was one page and you still managed to not see my first post?
do you have proof on conley saying it came down to money? send me some links.
i didn't know you were being sarcastic about lebron. people on here would mean the stupid thing you said. chalk it up to a misunderstanding.
Nobody can be this obtuse. It came down to money because the Spurs couldn't afford both Conley and Pau and they had already committed to Pau as their de facto back up plan to missing out on Durant. Parker made it quite clear that he had no problem with his changing role and wasn't worried in the least about a Conley signing but somehow, you still tried to make it about Parker.

Parker said he harbors no concerns about his future role, reiterating that his job is only to please coach Gregg Popovich."We talked about it all year long," Parker said. "I am fine with it (a changing role), and going forward it's going to be like that. As long as Pop is happy, I'm good."
i quoted two sources the same way you're quoting one.
From the same quote no doubt. Why would I want to post about redundant sources that are quoting the same thing? Meanwhile, you splashed a single comment in a thread which wasn't even a quote.
Cause he's a horsetooth buckeye
wrong. plain and simple.
maybe if it was one quote i would've left one quote?![]()
If Parker is out for next year as well, don't the Spurs have insurance on these guys to pay their contracts or most of it? That would take the pressure off if they don't have to continue to pay Tony a big salary and allow them to go fishing for another guard.
Conley's contract alone is still better than, green, ginobli, gasol combined(in which he outpriduced all 3 last series)
He's paid way too much and is injury prone.
Just because he burned the Spurs PGs in one series doesn't mean he's worth Lebron money.
If that was the criteria, most PGs in the league would be 125 million players.
He probably just had his best season ever. And some of those injuries were freak incidents. TBH, I didn't see him play much this year but from what I have seen, he's a damn good PG. Probably top 5 in the NBA. And his game would translate almost perfectly to the Spurs system.
Exactly. I don't mind Green's contract but Gasol, Ginobli, and Parker are all drags. That being said, hindsight is 20/20 and I was all for getting Gasol.
Tony Parker outplayed Conley on his home floor during an elimination game and sent his mega contract home packing.
The Phoenix had several great games recently. Which I appreciate. But Conley is by far the better player and has more productive years in front of him.
I think everybody wanted him to come. He's a good PG and an upgrade. Just not a max player.
Hard to be top 5 too in this PG saturated league.
Another question would be, freak incidents or not, if he can keep himself healthy.
We will see. Normally, if you make a player the highest paid player in nba history you expect more than first round exits. Conley is a good player, but he's making superstar money and I'm not quite sure, despite him playing the best basketball I've ever seen him play, he's going to be "worth" it.
Because oftodays NBA contracts
IDK. He's on a pretty average team and I'm not sure you can grade players on what they make anymore. It is a load of money and at the time seemed like a gamble based on his injuries. But the Spurs overpay several players already. He's just so damn solid and has no indications of being a head case. Even if he loses a step in the coming years, he'll still have a skillset that would keep him a solid starting PG.
I don't know about you, but I'm not trying to pay a guy $30+ million a year to be "solid".
I already told you to stick with girlie topics in the club.Basketball is not your thing tbh
last warning brah
