Wait, so you're saying the Spurs would give up say... Manu, Hill and Blair to get Paul, only to have Tony Parker still here at PG? Yes, I see the logic there.
MHeislerLATimes Mark Heisler: "FORGET 'RUMORED,' MYSTERY MAN SPURS WANT TO TRADE UP FOR IS DEFINITELY KLAY THOMPSON... Due in NY yesterday, detoured to SA to meet Pop, RC"
Are you kidding me? Spurs are trying to ship Parker out for another ing shooting guard (a mediocre one at that)? Why are these idiots running an NBA franchise?
Spurs FO has done way more good than bad, so they get/deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Not if this Portland deal was offered. The front office needs to be cleaned out if this really was close to being done.
The Spurs knew they weren't going to make a deal without RJ being involved the whole time. He is the one sparking all of this talk just as many expected. It's all about the Spurs wanting to dump him. Highly doubt any deal gets done that doesn't involve him.
Hopefully they don't get rid of Tony to just get rid of RJ like many have mentioned because that is ing re ed but I wouldn't mind an Hill/RJ package under the right cir stances.
It would be a sad day if:
1.) we entered next season with essentially the same roster.
or
2.) got rid of tp and rj in a crap trade.
As this thread has progressed, I have to agree with baseline bum. The potential deals being discussed are .
If the Spurs are dangling TP solely to dump RJ it is a massive failure and they are going to ruin their only "real" trade asset in Tony value-wise. They need to get close to the value they should for TP and then include RJ for it to be done.
I personally would rather keep Tony but I'll also acknowledge that this is probably the last off-season that he will have substantial value... Once he hits that 30 mark his stock will definitely plummet.
That doesn't mean trade him for or trade him to just get rid of RJ. That is beyond re ed and I don't necessarily believe that is what's happening here.
parker if stay healthy market will be ok for 2 years
not sure tony stock market stays good after year 2
No team is gonna give fair value for Parker, and THEN take Jefferson's contract.
Putting Batum at SF would be great, but not at the expense of Parker.
Then you don't trade TP.
Whatever happens, tomorrow is going to be one hectic ass day for us here on SpursTalk....
I work a 2-10 shift tomorrow. son of a I'm gonna miss the draft!
Agreed.
if you are wanting to dump salary and include an asset it would be smarter to include manu then tp
you do not haver a smart phone?
Well, of course ducks, of course it would be smarter.
lol yep.. although i admit i would be kinda pissed off if absolutely nothing happened
Hit me up Adam, I'll keep you updated if you want so you're not lost tomorrow...
Not many jobs allow you to be on your smart phone for a couple hours.
The thing that people aren't mentioning (because it sucks) is that as is, the Spurs are already dangerously close to the luxury tax (if there is one). That could be fueling some of this. I know we aren't used to that since the RJ trade, but there was a time when shrewd moves had to be made in order to stay below.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Plus, service inside our building sucksNot many jobs allow you to be on your smart phone for a couple hours.
Why in the would they sacrifice TP for the sake of ridding themselves of RJ's contract? It makes no sense. On second thought, it made no sense to re-up RJ in the first place, but that's for another thread. If they want RJ gone, then package him with Hill.
