Parker deserves no more than 10 million a season. Once he has no speed he sucks.
I can see the Spurs letting R.J walk after next year. Depending on if they are able to attain a small forward in the draft this summer or able to sign a small forward who fits like Shane Battier for about 1/3 or 1/4 of R.J's current salary. If Spurs strike out in both scenarios, I'd offer R.J a deal around 7 million per year for 3-4 years as a last resort
Resigning Parker (for the money he will demand) will depend a lot on his and George Hill's productivity from late April to god willing mid-June. If Parker lays an egg during this time, Spurs may consider trading his expiring to a desperate team with cap space that strikes out on all the big name free agents. These desperate teams more than likely will overpay for a player of Parker's caliber and also give him the maximum contract everyone knows him and his agent will demand.
To be a realist, Spurs will most likely stick with Parker til his contract runs dry and do business with him and his agent in the summer of 2011 or even sooner (Depending on his performances from here on out.)

Let's not forget that the CBA realities at that time might be quite different, and what the Spurs are allowed to offer him might be quite a chunk less than what we're talking about right now.
I imagine the answer to these questions depends on how Parker plays this postseason and through the first half of next year. Correct me if I'm wrong but both Parker and Jefferson have appealing expiring contracts next year. If Jefferson continues to get better and Parker returns to being a top 5 pg then voila, you keep them both and are happy. If they under perform or you think you can be better by making trades... then that is what you do.
see i understand this argument, but the way it seems now i feel like parker and ginobilis relationship has changed . i dont think tp's heart is here and i think every part of manu is silver and black!! i mean they could very well trust hill to run the team since he ran the point during our elite knock out!!! i mean ive heard some crazy things from people who know the guy and from what ive heard it seems hes ready to go elsewhere and no one understands this, he has everything here but he wants major fame i think and isnt going to get the kind he wants here in san antonio. everytime an important player leaves they end up doing nothing as far as rings and les
Because you won't be winning a championship the next year anyway, and better get something in return to rebuild for the future than let Tony walk off for nothing.
I can see the Spurs trading RJ for a bigman and defensive wing in the offseason.
Which is exactly why I am absolutely certain there will be no extension for Tony this summer. Tony will want to talk extension, but the Spurs will want to wait to see what the new CBA looks like.
They had no choice with Manu. They had to commit some money for 2011-12 and 2012-13 or let him test the waters and risk losing him.
They can wait with Tony until the parameters of the new CBA are known.
My big picture view of the Spurs is that they committed to a two year plan and the Manu extension is part of that. There's good reason to believe that all or most of the 2011-12 won't happen and that the Spurs after 2012 will be in the post-Duncan era.
TP is the better player of the two, skill-wise! But in all honesty, has he ever take over a game the way Manu does time and time again?
TP is a great player, but not a franchise player. Unless Pop and FO disagrees with me, we could very well see him traded. I don't see why stay in our team at that price, if not a franchise player.
I don't agree with that.
well how about one is nearing his peak and other is on decline?
:P
That I agree with.
parker has no idea what kind of mistake hes making acting like a and taking the spurs organization for granted, he will never be in this situation again but hes so damn y he would never admit it. im telling you its like a spoiled bratt whos been given everything and thinking its going to be easy for him everywhere, and other coaches are going to be able to do great things with him, but to me hes done here,.
the clue that pop is giving us is Temple being signed as a pg when we had better options at the pg position hes still trying to achieve the george hill pg a pg who plays defense will make us that much better
What specifically did he do to make you post this characterization?
Any news on Manu's contract containing anything concerning playing for his National team?
Like no you cannot? Im hopin...
that isn't allowed.
The real question is, how the are we gonna afford Splitter without some serious luxury tax
Alrighty then, any info on any sort of attempt to make a verbal agreement. This has been done with other players. I believe Okur made some agreement with the Jazz...
No such clause is allowed by the CBA.
The Spurs will have to take Manu's word. I'm sure if he told the team that he will not play that the team trusts him and that he will honor his promise.
I thought we were able to determine he got a max deal for him? They would sign and trade TP before losing him for nothing.
Only way to get Splitter and avoid a big tax bill is to trade Tony to a team with the cap space to absorb his contract.
But by that logic, why extend Ginobili to this money? Why not trade Manu this year and get something in return?
By not spending money on any other players.
Or RJ.
