    That's a big 10-4.

    I would. Parker would be an insanely huge upgrade.

    Spurs' #1 pick is worthless. Late end of draft = stash a young forieing player. We don't need young foreign players anymore.

    Trade is basically LA + Aldridge for Parker.

    No thanks.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't "LA" and "Aldridge" the same person? :grin:

    Gramps...

    See: Tony Parker, Rudy Fernandez, Manu Ginobli, Sergio Rodriguez... or any of Kevin Pritchard's draft-day trades. And there's always the chance that SAS continues to struggle and the pick becomes a high pick.

    I don't see why anybody would not want Tony Parker.

    The guy is a 26 year old elite PG. He's only three years older than LaMarcus and would vault this team into the elite.

    A Roy/Parker backcourt would be scary.

    Think about it.

    Parker is an excellent player, but he's not the superstar some on this board make him out to be. Look at the Spurs now. They're actually playing better now that Parker's injured.

    A late 1st pick is worthless? Then why does Prtich keep buying them?

    I'm surprised at all the no's.

    You guys are severely underrating Tony Parker.

    Emphatic no!!!

    As is, this team is a 60 win team at home. Next year we'll be a 50 win team on the road. The year after we will be a 60 win team overall.

    I cry patience.

    I would do it as long as Brandon talked LA into resigning here when his contract is up. DYNASTY BITCHES.

    I would do it anyway really.

    I assume you meant Bayless + Aldridge....

    As for this trade....if I were a Blazer fan, I'd be all over it. You get a top 5 PG in the NBA and would instantly have one of the best backcourts in the NBA.
