Spurs fielding trade calls for Parker

[joshdaboss]

It blows me away how underrated Parker has been on this forum for so long. First it was Parker = Chris Whitney. Then it was "let's throw him away and hand the team over to Beno" and now it's George Hill mania. Unbelievable. Part of me would love to see the Parker haters get their wish to come true so they could see how bad the team would be in their scenarios, but I'll still be the one sporting black and silver when they go back to not giving a like the old days when you couldn't get 5000 people in Hemisfair Arena.

Yet -- the team seemed to do just fine while he was out and Hill was the starter. Just imagine getting pieces back on top of that. Real talented pieces. Case rested.

Truth be told, I don't think other teams are that high on Parker either.

And Bonner does?

I'm not getting this reasoning at all. Because the Spurs have a Bonner and a Jefferson on the team already, they should trade good assets to get more Bonners and Jeffersons?

In Toronto?

You don't score over 20 a game if you're a bust, I don't care what team it is. You're playing the same players that everyone else is. That should be common sense, but I guess it isn't.

Kings getting rid of a PG in Beno. Interesting.

[MaNu4Tres]

George for Kings 10th?

[DesignatedT]

I'd do Hill and RJ for Salmons and the 10th. No way I do Tony though.

Gee ya think?

Maybe McDonald hit up those happy hour margaritas a little early today.

Parker should still get a top 10 pick next year as long as the team doesn't try to throw Jefferson in as an add-on.

George for Kings 10th?

Hope so.

Maybe Hill for the Bobcats' 9?

We'll be rolling out the all-softie Spurs team next season:

Calderon, Hill, RJ, Bonner, Bargnani

Parker hits 30 years old next year. His value will start to diminish but you don't get rid of him for John Salmons.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Any Sac deal involving Salmons now for Jefferson is pretty much lateral, aside from contracts. Now it will only make sense if TP is involved. Salmons is basically a little less expensive Jefferson, so trading for him and the 10th with Hill doesn't really make the team better.

At the end of the day I want Parker to stay and Hill gone

[NASpurs]

40 pages of draft chat when later tonight it'll be:

"With the 29th pick, the San Antonio Spurs select *insert unknown foreign guy's name*"

and a lot of "WHO THE ?" posts.

It's going to be so anti-climatic.

There are no talented pieces being offered for Parker that we have heard of. Only lousy pics and mediocre players.

I'll take Salmons over Jefferson. Isn't saying much though.

[DBMethos]

I truly believe that TP will still be a Spur by the end of the night. My only hope is that he uses these trade talks as motivation to get out there and bust ass next year. Especially when everyone in the media (who obviously never actually watch the Spurs) believes that Hill would be a competent PG replacement.

I know.

It's open season on Parker hating. A bad playoff run plus dumb comments = the haters are going to dominate the conversation. Spurs fans with half a brain understand his value.

You'd think that Ginobili getting hurt four years in a row in the playoffs and thus killing the team's chances would have some of the venom aimed at him ... but it just doesn't work that way.

Can it really diminish any worse than Parker for ty pick + ty scrub? Any of the deals mentioned here are already worst-case moves.

Why is it those guys are soft? What's the criteria for that? A guy like Bonner hustles his ass off and tries as hard as he can on every play. He mixes it up. To me, that's the exact opposite of soft. Games aren't won by having a roster of 12 players with 40" verticals.

[ElNono]

I would take Salmons over RJ in a second. I don't care if he ends up being a bust too. At least his last year isn't guaranteed.

[ohmwrecker]

This love for Casspi is troubling. I would think Spurs fans would have learned their lesson with Turkoglu.
