I spend a lot of time on a Spurs board and they have brought up the prospect of trading Parker for some of our young talent. One of the proposals they have listed is Batum, Bayless, and Outlaw for Parker. Would you do that? Personally I would not.
 
i think i might do that deal, parker has been shooting alot better than when he was younger, and he can penetrate at will. with roy, lma, and oden, not to metion rudy, he would be a major force.

Bayless and TO yes, not Batum though. Perhaps Sergio instead of Batum and some picks? Raef as an expiring might be an added plus, how much does Parker make?
 
I would do that in a second. Trading could be's for legit stars is a no brainer. Especially when that star isn't very old.
 
No Brainer, three below average players (with good potential) for an all star PG that is in his prime. Come on guys this is an easy one, don't over value our guys. San Antonio would laugh in our face at this one.
 
This is a former Finals MVP we're talking about, and he's 26 and plays exactly the sort of game we need from our PG. I would trade any combination of players not including the Big 4. Hell, I could possibly be convinced to let go of Rudy also.

Amazed that people wouldn't trade three scrubs, no offense to any of them, for a legit all star PG. I love Rudy's game but I would include him in the deal to get Parker. Big game experience, played with a big man so he knows how to get him the ball and in his prime.
 
I don't think I'd be willing to give up Batum. Bayless and Outlaw sure, but there must be someone else...but it's not going to happen anyway.
 
I wouldn't think twice about getting Tony Parker for role players. IMO he's a top 3 PG in the nba.
 
The only players I wouldn't give up to get Parker are Roy, LA, Oden and Rudy. Everyone else would be available. This team needs a player EXACTLY like Parker. SA would be insane to get rid of him. If they want to rebuild, they are better off moving Duncan or Manu. Parker is still in his prime.
 
Right now I would trade Brandon for him.

Parker
Rudy
Batum
Aldridge
Oden

is better than

Blake
Roy
Batum
Aldridge
Oden

And I love B-Roy and his game.

Ouch, Roy is my favorite player and I would seriously have to consider this deal. Probably lean towards offering LMA or Rudy before I would offer Roy though. Good thing we don't have to make this decision, lol.
 
I would happily do that deal. I'd love to keep Batum, but honestly, he might be the headliner of the trade for San Antonio. If such a deal went down, it would be because San Antonio saw Batum, not Outlaw, as their small forward of the future, IMO.

Since we would still have LaFrentz's contract, I would gamble on being able to work something out with Josh Childress and Atlanta in the off-season, and doing a sign-and-trade. They sign-and-trade Childress to us, since we would have cap room. They do it because Childress has made it clear he won't play for them and he counts against their cap until they give up his rights.

Having a starting lineup of Parker, Roy, Childress, Aldridge and Oden, with Blake, Fernandez, Webster, Frye and Przybilla off the bench would be a fantastic roster.

Even if we can't get Childress, I am willing to see how Webster does for us as a starter.

Wow you would rather have Batum then Bayless? Batum is my favorite player but I think... wait. Now that I think about it, I would rather have Batum too.

*removing foot*
 
BRoy for Parker....no way..Roy is about 5-6 years younger and only progressing.
 
To be fair, Roy is only 3 years younger. Having said that, I would not trade Roy for Parker.

A Roy/Parker backcourt would be deadly. Possibly the best backcourt in the NBA. I see San Antonio building around Parker when Duncan heads down that hill into obscurity.
 
In my opinion, people in this thread are seriously over-rating Tony Parker. He's good, yet, but not great. He's not much of a facilitator and his jump shot is erratic.

I think you are drastically undervalueing him. Parker is a top 4 pg in the NBA. He's certainly more valuable than Travis, Bayless and Batum all reserves.
 
I would absoluetely do that trade. In a heartbeat.

Parker+Roy+LMA+Oden? Big four? Holy crap!
