4 years 50m is so favorable for the Spurs its ridiculous.
So...that's a great news! Maybe it means that Timmy doesn't want to play after his actual contract
4 years 50m is so favorable for the Spurs its ridiculous.
wow $12,5M a year
He is underpaid. Less than Manu and almost what RJ is making...
He could have had so much more as a FA
I know some of you dumbasses think its a bad move. Thats why you post in messages boards and not ink deals in the FO![]()
4 years 50 million for an all star point guard?suck it Parker haters...
Maybe now people will finally believe Parker when he said he really wanted to stay in San Antonio.
I'm gonna stir the pot for the of it:
Don't players have to sign extensions before being traded if they're in the final year...to be worth it anyway? Like the Carmelo Anthony situation - no one wants to gamble on a guy that hasn't signed an extension and is in his last contract year.
If that $50 million number is right, Tony might be an even more attractive trade asset if the Spurs find a deal they can't pass up![]()
San Antonio Discount at $12.5 Mill per season average? Yeah...It's good to know the Spurs are playing for keeps and they save us from the 4-letter and Eastern Seaboard blowhards from making up when it comes to TP. No more articles about Hill making Tony expendable, no more articles about how NY loves Tony, and no more articles about making something out of nothing. In short, they'll just get back to their old shtick about this team being old, slow, and unappealing. Hey media...OPEN YOUR GOT DAMN EYES!![]()
But but but his supposedly evil wife said she wanted to live in new York!!!!!
Sorry about posting the old article, it popped up with the recent tweets....
As far as the contract goes, that is unbelievable. His contract is exceptional. I am extremely interested to see how they arrived at that number.
This is far lower and far earlier than anyone expected.
This is huge for the Spurs now and in the future.
The haters will say it's only because he was afraid of the new CBA.
They will always find a reason to hate
This is the weakest pot stirring ever. If that was the case there would be a trade done and they would have announced the trade.
HA!
The sooner everyone realizes that I am always right, the better off we will all be. I'm not gloating, I just care about you.
Seriously, great news. I will have to make a Bienvenue à la maison, Tony! sign for tonight's game.
I need to look at this more in depth though. I mean this is quite the surprise (not that he resigned, but for how much/how fast).
Just seems hard to believe.
James Dolan, Donnie Walsh, Amare Stoudemire, and Knicks nation are now quitely slitting their wrists.
My thought all along was that he would extend, but I expected it to be late in the process, like Manu. Like him or not, he is the one piece on our club that the Lakers have no defensive answer for.
50 million for 4 years it's amazing, with tony, hill, blair, splitter, anderson and whoever we will draft or trade for I think we'll have a good team when timmy's and manu's wheels fall off.
If Tiago comes out of the gates ballin', I am going to have myself one of a season.
What? The Lakers just pack the lane and force our ty shooters to beat them. One on One they can't contain him but Phillis always makes our shooters beat them - not Parker.
yes!
Good for Tony. Good for the Spurs.
Now lets try to go find a way to win #5.
More pot stirring:
Who knows what kind of deals can come up before the trade deadline and the Spurs probably would rather wait until then before making a move unless the trade was somehow a no-brainer. With a good contract and Parker being healthy, he can be an attractive asset if it ever comes down to it unlike RJ.
If the Spurs and Tony were wanting to part ways, they can do an extension as part of the trade. That's the player's leverage. If he signs it early, and at a bargain, the team has no incentive to move him. Why would they move a multiple All Star and Finals MVP making a team friendly salary?
Good news! Half expected and the right thing to do.
Even as great as this is, this likely cements the Spurs as tax payers next season (if there is no fundamental change in the CBA).
I wonder if an ETO is headed Tim's way, followed by an extension...
