Tony Parker Contract Extension?

[spurraider21]

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.

I doubt Parker will be banking on a big deal during his age 34 free agency

Oh, true. Probably me feeling bad for the guy, $12.5M is/was a crazy bargain.

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?

Not gonna happen under Duncan's watch. Parker is untouchable for at least a season.

I don't see them doing anything to the big 3 either until Tim calls it quits... But a future with Bledsoe, Green, and Leonard is intriguing as

On paper it looks good but I don't know what kind of locker room guy he is especially with his ego telling him he's worth 20m a year lol..

Nope. Not unless the Spurs intend on giving Kawhi the ball a lot more next season.

I'm not worried about that tbh, besides the scenario put forth was him agreeing to 4/50 (same annual salary as TP) while agreeing to play for he spurs lol

If it's an extension, it can't add more than three years to his current deal.

I finally found the relevant info. in the CBA FAQ, I think:

"Veteran extensions are limited to four seasons, including the seasons remaining on the current contract. Even if the extension is signed in late June, the current season counts as one full season toward the total. For example, a contract with two seasons remaining may be extended for up to two additional seasons."

Lame. Did that change in the last CBA? I know Parker signed a 4 year extension in 2010.

[99 Problems]

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.

Millsy torched CP3 last time out as well. Very spoilt with PGs in SA.

[TheGreatYacht]

3 years, $30-33 million. Partially guaranteed for 1/3 of his salary in his third season. After next season. That sounds fair

Manu got 14M/yr when he was 35. No way Spurs offer TP that

[TheGreatYacht]

3yr/60M do it RC! If "8" got 14M when he was 35, Parker deserves 20/yr

[Richie]

I think Tony gets 55/4. Spurs are loyal and will happily pay him til he retires.

Edit: considering his age next season, 4th year may be a team option/partial guarantee or drop it to 40/3

Yes.

he signed that deal when he was 35 not 33. Thats a pretty good deal given Parkers production and age.

[Mel_13]

Manu was 32 when he signed that extension in April, 2010.

[100%duncan]

You guys are morons, TP said he wanted to retire a Spur.

[ABC]

Yes.

Thanks

[cd021]

Manu was 32 when he signed that extension in April, 2010.

He was referring to:

• Signed July 11, 2013 for an assumed $14,500,000 for 2 years.

He was 35 when he signed that deal.

I made the point that Parker, if they wait to after next season, would be 33 when he resigns with the Spurs. I earlier mentioned that he could sign a 3yr/ $30-33 million deal or a 4 yr/ $ 45 million dollar deal (with the 4th season partially guaranteed). He could make more money at 35 and 36 by signing a longer deal as opposed to signing a short term deal.

He was referring to:

• Signed July 11, 2013 for an assumed $14,500,000 for 2 years.

He was 35 when he signed that deal.

He was referring to the 14M/year that Manu was paid in 2012-13 at age 35.

[cd021]

He was referring to the 14M/year that Manu was paid in 2012-13 at age 35.

Ok. I misunderstood. I though he meant that $14 million he got after the Finals last season at the age of 35. Not the $14 million he got doing the lockout shortened season.

For a 3 year max extension signed before June 30, 2015:

2015-16: 13.44M
2016-17: 14.44M
2017-18: 15.45M

Thanks Mel!

My guess is that he gets the max extendion with some kind of option or partial guarantee in the final year.

[Drom John]

All of playoffs:
WS
3.2 Duncan
2.9 Leonard
2.6 Splitter
2.2 Ginobili
2.0 Diaw
1.9 Green
1.1 Parker 6th, but just a bit ahead of
1.1 Mills

WS/48
.239 Splitter
.204 Duncan
.191 Leonard
.184 Ginobili
.172 Green
.159 Joseph
.158 Ayres
.155 Diaw
.146 Mills
.122 Bonner
.108 Baynes
.107 Belinelli
.071 Parker

Both WS and WS/48 pass the eye test.

Last year in the regular season Parker was 63rd in WS. Thaddeus Young was 63rd in salary at $8,850,000.

If you think Parker is steady, then factor in a 7.5% increases, then I'd have Tony at:
2015-2016 $9,513,750.00
2016-2017 $10,227,281.25 player option

If, on the other hand, you think like I do that Tony is in decline, I'd offer $8,850,000 each year with the second year as a player option.

Tony earned an extension in the $6m/season range, tbh... now before peeps tell me that's too much, it's just like Manu last season, face of the franchise, Spurs for life, and brings leadership which I think it's very underrated around here. Sometimes you pay a little more (and it's not a lot, since the Spurs would have plenty to throw the max to the guy they really need to keep in Kawhi), but you get known goods.

Wonder how many bites you'll get. Subtle goods.
