Nobody loved RJ's contract. Revisionist history.
You made a lump comment about people who hated RJ's contract. I made a lump comment about the stupid things said by the group who loved it. Get over it girl.
Sweet!

Gee, I thought he was going to the Knicks . . .
Folks, in case you hadn't noticed it, TP is a home body.
This is unbelievable. The FO signs RJ to a ridiculous extension and then gets Parker to agree to millions less than what he's worth? That's just nuts.
Beyond all that, it's good to see the extension done and the potential distraction that might have come with it out of the way.
that's why you're the one with the medal with far, far, less posts.No you actually quoted me.
And I'm not crying nor am I a female.
Nice try though
Who is his agent?
The real back story here is what this says about the Spurs' evaluation of . . . the Spurs.
They think they can contend the next few years.
In other words, the FO is looking at Splitter and Anderson and Neal and Hill and Blair -- and they like what they see.
Thank You Tony, now hopefully your commitment to the Spurs rubs off on George, and he agrees to an extension when it's his turn. Great news.
Tony Parker is a good, clever and simple guy.
He knows about passion and commitment.
San Antonio is his Home, as the french NT is.
He cares more about thé place and the people to stay with than about money...
He likes compe ion !
Hé is Spurs material and will stay like that...
First good news of this october month on spurstalk...
Was about Time ...
Xap'
Awesome news!
Here's Fernando TD21's take on the Spurs Marvel cover, great that these guys are such team players on and off the court:
GLORY TIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF!
Wow thats a goood deal. LOL at the Parker haters.
Awesome news !!
Glad that Parker stayed in SA
Wooooooooooooooo! Parker stays, love it
Honestly, its always been hard for people to hate on Parker but they've always done it anyway. I mean wtf is there to hate about a guy that plays that well and isn't getting thrown in jail for punching Eva?
Props to Pop, RC, and TP for getting a deal done. We are ALL winners in this. So great to see so many players with our team for so long. This just doesn't happen anymore in modern day professional sports. Most teams are lucky to have ONE long-term star. We've had 4 in the last decade.
Oh, and RJ's contract isn't horrible. We were gonna have to pay him $16mm this year anyway. That basically turns RJ's 4yr/$40mm signing into a 3yr/$24mm extension. That's fair I think.
In Pop we trust... 'Till The Wheels Fall Off!
Another thing to consider: If Jefferson didn't restructure his contract, would the Spurs still able to do this and keep both?
Between the contracts of Manu, Tiago, and Parker, the Spurs FO has been puttin' in work. If putting up with Jefferson going forward is the necessary burden, then so be it.
Yep, which would be so typical for these French and Italian guys.
Damn foreigners!
great news. i thought they were gonna trade him to get something out of him and go with hill. hopefully he'll stop playing with france in the summers now so we can get something out of him
This is pretty ing lame. No one could have expected the deal to be this good. Parker is an all-star level player and could have very easily asked for all-star money...and would have been completely justified in doing it.
I wonder if they have given up on Sparky Hill being a PG . . .
4 years 50 million for an all star point guard?
There's a lot of backpedaling going on here . . . I'm glad it's not me.
No need to be angry over excessive contracts anymore because everything evened out in the end. The Splitter deal balanced out Bonner's contract and Tony's deal balanced out that terrible contract for rj.
That being said I am still a little pissed about that rj deal.
