He won't accept being a third stringer or a paycut. He's going to want to get Kobe like contract and get the same treatment that Kobe got during his final years with the Lakers.

Though the timing of these declarations is very interesting, i would be shocked if Parker isn't in the CP3 recruitment meeting (TP/Duncan/Kawhi will be there).
I agree keeping Green is the better route...but we also don't know what he'd be replaced with and until we know it's tough to make a judgment.
Dude did great against memphis and rockets..but GS would've abused tony in that series. Spurs need to focus on players that match up well against the dubs. Thanks for everything tony but you're done
I don't think anyone would debate keeping Green being the better route . . . but realistically, that's not the route they'd go down.
As far as replacements, probably Sefolosha (sub par shooter) or Afflalo (sub par defender). Drafting Hart at 29 is another possibility.
The only player at recruitment that will matter to CP3 is Kawhi. Hopefully he's not expecting any kids in the next few months.
People mad at a player wanting to play for the franchise he loves.
As much as it pains me to say this and Parker has done many things for the Spurs, Spurs should trade him and dump the contract. Wether CP3 signs or not he won't be healed to January maybe. I'd trade him for Rubio or Melo if CP3 doesn't sign with the Spurs.
Not me, I understand and it would be painful for the Spurs FO to trade him but there are better options out there to keep this team going strong and in the NBA loyalty only goes so far. If it's for a chance to sign CP3, Spurs FO would have to say bye Tony. Even Melo would be better, maybe Pop can teach him how to play defense, lol. Knicks would take Parker to get Melo the out of there.

People make a ton of assumptions. The level TP played at in the playoffs and his knowledge of the system - what if he meant he will take the min for the last 3 years to mentor and help off the bench? He'd be perfect in that role assuming his comes back from injury fine.
Also, people are acting like TP means that if he can't play he "expects" a contract no matter what. He's assuming that he's going to fully recover. That's his mindset. It's not rocket science guys.
Three more seasons is surprising but I wouldn't mind him in a limited role as a mentor coming off the bench. Obviously the possible price tag is the most concerning. I don't see the Spurs letting him go elsewhere like Manu last offseason.
If he 1) can get healthy (huge if given that he has the same injury than finished Barkley) and 2) the price is very reasonable and 3) he is willing to take a bench seat if necessary, then why not. He's a SA legend, want to keep him a career Spur.
Yup. The is his problem?
The biggest problem with this whole Parker/Spurs/Retirement thing is the Spurs have to make their decision by July 1st right??
Vet min.
I'm not against it as long as there's no impact on getting free agents or re-signing players. He knows he's been overpaid the past 3 seasons, so it would be a very modest contract id imagine. Murray will start the first 40 games next season, that's guaranteed, as we know Parker will be out until then. We'll get a pretty good idea on how much he's improved, but the signs and the physical tools are there that, at the very least, he's going to get everything out of himself.
Porker is not going to take less than $15 million/year tbh. Yes got a mad ego and still thinks he should get paid like an NBA MVP, even though he has no business being within a mile of the starting lineup tbh.
I know right? These dumb Spurs fans think this greedy Frenchie blowhard is going to take so little money?Vet min.
I will take that bet. $1000 that he takes less than 15M per year on his next deal? If he retires obviously null and void. Deal?
Ummm hmmmm
Hey, the Spurs traded The Iceman.
"Vet min" "less than 15 million"
Well, that Argentinian blowhard made $14M when he was worth vet minimum so if RC is going to offer him a boatload of free money based on past accomplishments, he's not going turn it downI know right? These dumb Spurs fans think this greedy Frenchie blowhard is going to take so little money?
