So the organization just agreed to an extension for no reason.
No point in keeping Parker around when Duncan retires. The wheels will be set in motion and the rebuilding process will begin. Parker knows this and so does the organization.

if hill was lookin for the next big contract, how much did you guys think his actually worth? MLE? 6-7m?
Didn't he take less in choosing the Spurs over Orlando? (could be wrong) Didn't he restructure his contract to keep the big three intact? Duncan's only getting what one of the greatest power forwards in the history of the NBA deserves.
So he's about getting the money he deserves.
Nice walk back.
They agreed on an extension so he wouldn't walk this offseason.So the organization just agreed to an extension for no reason.
And? They still need to take in as much salary back. Do you understand how trade works? He's not coming 'off the books'.
Truth be told, when the Duncan retires the Spurs might just need to tank if they want to get back to be a contending team. As much value as Tony has, he's not going to land you a franchise type of player, neither will an old Manu.
There's a lot of things I wouldn't put past him, but trading the franchise players he's building his team around for George Hill and Dejuan Blair strikes me as beyond pipe dream. I mean, even the rumor that he would do such thing would automatically trigger almost every other team in the league offering a better trade.
He's still an incredibly cheap talent for what he brings. Let me put it this way: Zaza Pachulia will make $4.7m next season. DeSagana Diop will make $6.9m. Andrea Bargnani will make $9m.
Being able to have a legit 7 footer for $3m in your roster in this league is an incredible bargain.
What the are you talking about.So he's about getting the money he deserves.
Nice walk back.
It's a four year extension.
I'm talking about your saying stupid then almost immediately contradicting yourself.
How can yall s say with a straight face that this is a lateral move?Hill has been the 4th-5th best player on the team for the past two seasons. Neal is legit but he doesnt bring all the things Hill brought to the table. Anderson and this new rook are unknowns, we dont know how theyll adjust to the NBA yet.
Im sure the Spurs will love having a 31-32 yr old PG who relies on his speed and quickness, making 12-13 mill a yr when theyre looking to rebuild.So the organization just agreed to an extension for no reason.
If the 'wheels will be set in motion to rebuild', what's the point of paying a role player like Hill $4-5 million then?
You thought they would start Hill this season. I don't think you are the best person to declare what the Spurs are thinking.
Not that hard when your teammates are Finley, Mason, Bogans, Bonner, RJ...
What a horrible trade. An unproven talent who can't shoot for a proven guy who's like 23 and makes next to nothing.
If he is still playing at a high level then they just might. Plus, If Manu and Duncan are off the books then Tony would not be holding them back financially to rebuild or sign new talent.
Look at Jason Kidd he is 38 and makes 9 mil a year.
I dont know what the Spurs are thinking. Just like you dont. What I thought was that the Spurs were grooming him as a PG, and that imho the reins should be handed over to him. Which I still believe wouldve been a better move.
Do you think the Spurs should keep a 31-32 yr old Parker who relies on his speed and quickness and will make 12+ mill, when they are rebuilding??
JKidd isnt on a rebuilding team like Parker will be in a couple of years.
You got that right.
Why can't the Spurs trade for Hill then? He's just not what the Spurs need right now to attempt to improve.
Nah, they'll need a point guard then.
In a couple of years? In that case he will only have 1 year left on his contract that is guaranteed. It would be very easy to move a 12.5 mil/yr expiring contract if they wish or the Spurs to let him ride that last year out on the "rebuilding squad" and let him come off the books completely. They have actually set it up pretty nicely for the future....
Yea I guess he was just the 4th best player by default. He wasnt one of the top bench players in the league or anything. He didnt play a big role in the Spurs sole playoff series win the past 3 years. He didnt bring things to the table that no guard outside of Manu&Tony can bring to the team.
Im assuming you find it funny because you know what theyre thinking and I dont?You got that right.
Hey, you don't know what I'm thinking either.
When was he one of the top bench players in the league? Was he ever even in serious contention for 6th man of the year?
As well as he played against the Mavericks, he played just as badly getting completely obliterated by Dragic in the next round. And sure, he has had good games as a Spur. Especially at home. He just wasn't anything more than a decent role player though.
Hilarious. Your mind games intimidate me.Hey, you don't know what I'm thinking either.
But trading him for a young rookie was what the Spurs needed to attempt to improve in preparation for a last stand? Perhaps the Spurs wouldnt have improved by keeping Hill but atleast you know what you get with him, Anderson and Leonard are unproven at the NBA level. Those two players still need time to develope, time both Manu and Tim dont have.
Thats the point, he will be gone before his deal is done. Chump insists he wont because they signed him to a 4-yr extension and because nobody knows what the Spurs are thinking.
