Spurs fielding trade calls for Parker

[joshdaboss]

How many here will have insta-boners if Stern comes up in the first 10 picks and announces a trade?

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.

Exactly what I was thinking. If you took TP out and replaced Hill in that Portland deal then I think I do it. Hill + RJ + 29th pick for Batum, filler, Camby?, and their 21st pick....

I'm going to call RC to discuss this. BRB

Good idea. Let us know what he says....

It's patently clear that the priority is not to trade Tony, but to jettison RJ's contract. Unfortunately, not even a Tony in his prime can offset that turd.

The way I see it, if they Spurs do make a deal, they'll have to be the losers in it. That's what happens when you're dumping a bad salary. With that in mind, I don't think they'll make a deal.

It's going to be really awkward for Richard to suit up whenever the next season starts.

[DPG21920]

Wow. RC just told me that there is NO way TP gets moved for what is being floated around. He said they only way someone gets moved is if they get offered, and I quote, "a no brainer" deal.

If teams don't want to bite on a borderline All-Star in Tony alongside RJ, what makes you think anybody wants to take Hill+RJ?

[DPG21920]

Are yall kidding me? You do realize that both Hedo Turkoglu and Gilbert Arenas got moved and it didn't take giving up a guy as good as TP to accomplish it.

Both those guys had worse contracts and play than RJ.

Buddy, those trades don't make a lot of sense.

When was the last time this FO was able to pull a salary dump like this though? Malik Rose?

i expect the spurs to just stand pat with their thumbs stuck up their asses again. resigning jefferson and bonner was the death blow to this team. trading parker would mean the start of rebuilding and we all know how afraid the spurs are of change. and i know i'm going to catch a lot of flak for this but the spurs should have traded ginobili when they had the chance.

Before you send Tony Parker anywhere in draft trades, know that Spurs are asking teams to take RJeff as well. Not much interest so far.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Is reality setting in for all of you too?

We do nothing tonight.

[Buddy Holly]

Buddy, those trades don't make a lot of sense.

How so?

[Ditty]

I'm calling in for the draft tommorow, we might not enjoy anything Spurs related for a while.

I wish New York had another solid prospect besides Landry Fields. that would of been nice to get him, and there 17th pick, and would of been nice to get Gallanari, or maybe even Wilson Chandler, oh well there is always if's.

Anyways, it sounds like no one wants RJ even other teams who have a bad contract, and know there player is a bad fit, still won't trade with the Spurs,even if Spurs are throwing in Blair's nice contract, or George Hill. Any team taking RJ's contract would be a plus, even if Parker is used as bait, Spurs could get a TE to get another point guard, and get 2 solid young prospects in Casspi, and maybe whoever they get in the draft, I would be all over it if Thompson was throw in also.I would all be down to trade the 7th pick for the 9th pick and 19th pick, and possibly get 3 or 4 young prospects under 25 for a 29 year old, only 2 or 3 years Tony Parker. Spurs could go for maybe a Andre Miller or Devin Harris with the TE, and still be able to compete, without getting rid of Manu or Duncan, plus have salary cap next summer if the CBA doesn't change too much. Anyways, Parker traded or not, I'm all for giving up Hill for the 12 pick to Utah. I think it will happen if they decide to draft Kanter with the 3rd pick, or maybe Utah sees Hill as a point guard? I don't know.

More than likely.

I'm just saying. It shouldn't take dangling TP to move RJ. While his play sucked and his contract is bad, it's no where near a crippling contract for most teams and other guys with far worse contracts and level of play have been moved.

I understand it's bad and RJ is tough to move, but it shouldn't take TP to do it.

+ Oden signed for around 7 million/year and traded to us.

[tim_duncan_fan]

RJ likes to butt , but he LOVES to butt the Spurs.

It's revenge for the '03 finals.

[Ditty]

I don't mind that approach. Spurs are giving the "you go by our rules" mind set. Someone will bite on RJ. I think Sacremento will by tommorow, the need a veteran face to that franchise, because no one is coming to Sac especially with the team trying to move out of the city.

[DesignatedT]

This has been all about RJ the whole time. I'm sure they are just looking to see what's out there for other pieces as well... like Tony. It's no secret that his stock is higher now then it ever will be and they know that... regardless of RJ's situation.

[jimo2305]

dammit RJ!
