Has Parkers trade value peaked and if so how much

[pancakechef]

You tell em G Dawgg. Turnovers and momentum killing plays mean nothing in the playoffs because the real action happens after the game. When both teams run sprints and relay races.

[G-Dawgg]

Turnovers and bad plays are part of the game.... I've never seen a single player play a perfect series and never turn the ball over. You can't judge whether a player is good or not based on one series....

Parker is a tried, tested, and true champion. Check his resume..

[pancakechef]

Then count the last year and make it two. Package him, Bonner, RJ and MCdyess.

Those guys have been worthless the past few playoffs.

I never said you had to play a perfect game. But you can't have a continually NEGATIVE impact on a series by how bad you play and WHEN you make bad plays.

2 things are obvious: #1) They aren't trading him. #2) He won't ever be even an average defender.

the only thing obvious b4 last season, it looked like the clown wanted to head to a big market team to fullfill the cuckhold on him from his partner...then the with his personal life with the media, fck him is all i can say....whether that interrupted his play or the team, he shouldve been traded...

coming out and talkin about not believing in the team cant win, fck that ...

[G-Dawgg]

To be honest, as good as he is... I was hoping we were gonna get something good for him on draft day....

..instead we lost George

Tony's value peaked in the days before the 2009 draft.

With the Hill trade, the chances that Tony is traded this year have practically disappeared.

I can imagine one scenario where Tony is traded at the deadline:

1. Tim has told the Spurs that he will retire at the end of 2012.
2. Injuries or poor play make it obvious that the Spurs have no shot at competing for the le.
3. The Knicks have given up any hope at trading Billups for one of their prime targets to team with Amare and Melo.
4. Then the Spurs trade Parker and RJ to the Knicks for Billups/filler/and a young player plus future draft pick(s).
5. At the end of the 2011-12 season, that would leave the team with one more year on Manu's contract and a bunch of young players on smaller deals and in full blown rebuild mode.

Parker's value peaked after the 08-09 season. However, Parker was really good in the 10-11 season as well -- I think the Spurs considered it his best season in terms of all around game and leadership. One bad playoff series doesn't doom Parker. Parker has good trade value right now. But the Spurs aren't interested in trading Parker or Manu, unless it's a really awesome deal and includes RJ.

Another important factor - TP has nearly 900 NBA games on his legs, and for a PG who relies on speed that is not in his favour. He has also been battered a lot going to the rack during his career. He's likely to start to decline physically soon, so I'm not averse to trading him for a decent package. Whether or not one materialises is another matter.

Spurs are up creek IMO. They have no bench bigs (unless you call Blair & Boner "bigs"). Their best trade asset for plugging multiple holes was Parker but instead they dumped Hill which only netted them a lottery pick, and given Pop's myriad of reasons for not playing rookies he'll most likely be useless for the spurs his 1st year, much like Splitter missing a few weeks of training camp became useless last year. Expect to see Blair as the "starting" center once again, with Boner as the main "big" coming in off the bench for about 25 minutes per game.
