Exactly, that's probably what its all about. Just for the sake of trading and maybe because they dislike and disrespect him, like many. He is our best player, he is an elite player, and even if he's traded, we won't get a elite player back.

not for Tony.
Gallinari, this wooden macaroni, who can only shoot three and make stupid glances for Parker ? is someone nuts
Anything outside of either Lee or Chandler + a draft pick(s) and the talks would have to end....if it ever got to that point.
They don't even have a 1st round pick til 2013.
I'll take it and possibly that Walker that came over from Boston as well. Chandler or Lee need to be in that conversation though.
Only team that makes any sense is memphis. OJ Mayo + early 1st rd pick for TP and I think the spurs would think about it. NY is definatly behind these rumours..
I just don't see why Memphis would do that. Would TP resign? I don't think he would and you are giving up OJ for a rental? Not to mention, does TP put them over the top along with a couple of other moves?
Ya, I agree with this..Just playing along here and thats what makes this TP rumour so funny cause there is no good trade that he can be placed in that makes sense for everyone involved. One team would literally have to take a big hit and there is no way it would be the spurs.
Yeah, he is a tough player to trade if you are looking for equal talent.
But what if Tony would walk next summer?
I would rather TP walk than to over pay for Lee.
I would assume the Spurs would listen if they offered OJ Mayo and the 9th pick in the draft.
That would give the Spurs the 9th and 20th picks to go along with a tremendous young core. Sign a vet point guard and they would be good to go.
they arent going to offer that.
He's not as good as the best players of the league but he's better than middle class of the league.It's not so difficult if you want to trade him.
Tony for 2 middle class (Mayo-Gasol or Smith-Horford alike)
Tony+ 1 middle class for 1 superstar (Bosh alike)
You would have equal talent.It's a lot of more difficult to trade players like Tim or Manu who are older.Tony has a pretty good trade value.
You are crazy if you think TP will net you Mayo/Gasol or Smith/Hoford imo.
Did I miss something?
How did Mayo's name get involved?
Well, if you are going to assume trades like that are possible then Tony can easily be traded for equal talent. Unfortunately, trades like that would require that the other GM was grossly incompetent. Those trades are ridiculously one-sided in favor of the Spurs.
Poster fantasy syndrome.
I just saw his name all of a sudden and was wondering if I missed a rumored 3-way (which is something I never try to miss if the ratio is right.).
OJ Mayo was brought up to give an example of a talent level required to trade TP I believe.
Had they been able to get Mayo and the No. 5 last year, as much as I love Tony, I'd been offering to pack his bags. Mayo and Curry would've been sick, IMO.
Memphis reportedly offered OJ and Thabeet for Monte Ellis before the trade deadline... that might explain at least one source of these rumors.
OJ + Thabeet wouldn't work salarywise for Parker, but the numbers work on OJ/Thabeet/Conley for Parker/Blair.
Chandler (NY) busted for pot last night. Scratch him off the list.
