will beYeah cause he is only worth $7.5 million. Even in a down year he still averaged roughly 50% FG, 17 PPG, & 6 APG. He should be better next season with extended rest in the off season.
Parker is old, he has a lot of mileage on him. his game is based on quickness and getting into the paint, and already now he was maybe the 7th most important player on the Spurs against the Thunder and Heat
I remember him saying he wanted an extension this summer during the season.
Spurs fans might not appreciate it much, but TP needs to and WILL be paid. It's too insulting being the best PG in the league and seeing Chris Paul make twice as much as you year in and year out.
Can any of the cap experts on here give the max available extension Parker is eligible for given his current salary?
Tony also said recently he knows Pop will take care of him for the rest of his career, and that's why he's always been willing to take less. I doubt the feeling isn't mutual for the front office.
Spurs won't play hardball with TP, and I think both sides want TP to stay a Spur for the rest of his career. He'll get a nice $10-$12 million for 3-4 years, and the Spurs won't flinch if he wants closer to the $12M side. I also wouldn't be surprised to see more integration with the ballclub he owns in France (maybe bringing a coach over, or some kind of prep for Parker to go over there at the end of his career).
For a 3 year max extension signed before June 30, 2015:
2015-16: 13.44M
2016-17: 14.44M
2017-18: 15.45M
For that price I'm in. Parker is a Spur for life
I agree. All that stuff about NY and LA never had much substance to it. Tony will retire a Spur.
that's a max? damn. how on earth is gordon hayward eligible for more?
Extensions are only an increase in salary for non-rookie-scale players. That's why Aldridge isn't reupping yet.
I don't foresee spurs playing hard ball with TP. I could also see TP being on staff with spurs if he wanted. He's given a lot to this franchise. He may not be worth what he is later in his career, but neither is worth what he's gotten paid the last few years either. I'm ok with over paying at him now if thats what it takes.
Max extension.
If he waits until July, a new contract can start well above 20M per year.
I doubt Parker wants to cripple the Spurs chances of winning, he won't look for a max deal, he'll take the extension and be happy with it. The cost of living in San Antonio is bananas and I mean that in a good way.
yeah heat only put james on him their best defender imo and tp wear out james
Lebron was guarding kawhi.
After July 1 his max increases because technically his contract is over and not an extension. He could get 35% of the cap by being a 10+ year player; not that he'll come close to it.
4 year/$20m... do it RC...
Name the 7 ahead of him.
He probably was the 4th best in the Heat series and 3rd best against OKC.
For an all star PG in a guard driven league, their is no way that he is only worth $7.5 million.
Rewatch finals
James guarded tp a lot
That seems a bit high to me. He has sacrificed for the good of the team, though, so that might be the cost of loyalty. That 4 yrs, $50 million was a fantastic deal. Having ,arguably, our best player making $12.5 million per is great value.
I'm hoping for $10-11 million a season. Preferably over 3 years but a 4 years, $45 million (with the 4th season partially guaranteed for 1/3 of his salary) would keep him under contract until the age of 36 and pay him more in the later part of his career than he probably could get on the open market.
If it's an extension, it can't add more than three years to his current deal.
You also have to consider that the cap is going to skyrocket in theory so if that were to happen then his deal will still be at a discount.
you think I been doing for the last month?
Hypothetical: Phoenix offers Bledsoe for Parker straight up, Bledsoe coming on a 4 year 50 mil deal. If you're gm, would you take it?
Wondering if TP's camp takes into consideration the impending TV deal. Might make sense for him to sign a two-year extension with a player option on the 2nd year. Benefits both sides: Spurs get a contract year from TP while he gets his money adjusted to a theoretically higher cap with job security.
