Parker won't be traded (according to Pop)

[ducks]

I think hill might be more opt to be traded for a replacement for rj

[Das Texan]

spurs are just going to run with a 3 guard lineup with manu at the small forward.

[ploto]

I think more likely to stay, since they aren't in luxury tax territory now.

Or traded for a SF...

[Seventyniner]

Hoopshype (via CBS Sports) says that the Spurs are " bent" on trading Parker. Not sure what to make of that.

Holy , next year would be ten years? God damn! Where does the ing time go!?!?

If the last part is true

deal him now

[Gino2882]

Portland and Indiana are the only teams I see as being fits. Indiana with George as the centerpiece (not a good deal IMO).

Portland with Batum as the centerpiece could make sense.

Come on, he's always said he likes being here in SA. I think he's just considering free agency and making himself available to get the best offer out there. He's a business man, he'll take the best offer. But everybody knows his preference goes to SA.

classic selective memory: TD / Orlando anyone?

Geez people, walk it back. (a) Jefferson is coming back so don't go crazy on that one. (b) Tony has a house here and a wife who is from here. (c) Don't put too much stock in what Tony says in an interview, you have no idea what's really going on. Don't you think that a 9-year vet knows what to say and what not to say to the media?

Clearly the Spurs are always willing to listen to, or make, trade proposals. I'm sure everyone but Tim has been in those discussions at some point.

IMO Tony would not be traded unless it's a really good deal for the Spurs. They are not looking to get rid of him even if it means taking an average or mediocre deal.

He is pretty clear that he wants to be a FA and not sign an extension with the Spurs. If the Spurs think he will leave, then they might as well try to trade him while they have all the control, especially if they decide by the trade deadline that the team is not set to win it all this season.

Also goes to show that all the NY talk was real- for all those in denial.

lol

[wildbill2u]

So now he has signed a multi-year deal and should be here as long as the Spurs want him and he is happy here.

If the team goes to down the road (Say both Manu and Tim go down with permanent injuries) and he wants out, the Spurs would probably accommodate him with a trade if they could get something significant in return to rebuild the team.

The Spurs seem to be pretty good about working with players in those types of situations.

Right now, I like where we are with Parker and I'm sure he does too.

lol

lol rasho

[Josepatches_]

I'm sure there are a lot of more chances to trade him.He has a bigger trade value now with his new contract.

I'd like to be optimistic but we aren't one of the better teams of the leagues.
