    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Negotations between the San Antonio Spurs and their point guard Tony Parker appear to be moving along. Team officials hope to complete an extension by the end of the week.

    "Everybody knows I like San Antonio and I would love to stay here, so why not do it now?" Parker said. "But if we can't find an agreement, I will wait one more year. I am not in a rush."

    Spurs officials have indicated they have no problem tabling negotiations until next summer because it will allow them to see how the league's salary structure is altered after the current collective </div>

    Thats good news. I don't know what I would do if Tony Parker wasen't a spur, I'm glad he has his head screwed on straight. Hopefully he doesn't charge for what he's worth lol.

    I think he's a little overrated by some, but he is the perfect fit in San Antonio, and a perfect fit with Timmy D.

    Here's another update

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Parker negotiations continue: Tony Parker's agent, Marc Fleisher, said Sunday he hopes to receive another contract extension proposal from the Spurs within the next few days. "I wouldn't say we're close," Fleisher said, "until after I get a chance to see (the proposal)."

    Parker said last week he is "very confident" a deal will be reached by Sunday's deadline. Parker and the Spurs are about $5 million apart on the total value of the six-year extension, though a number of other stumbling blocks still remain in the way of an agreement.
