Tony Parker for 7th

Drafting Jimmer alone would increase interest in the Kings, not to mention the only negative thing Voisin would ever have to say about the Kings going forward is that they need to play Jimmer more.
Picking up Tony Parker would be a disaster of epic proportions. 2 ball dominant guards that can't shoot well. Clog the paint and dare them to shoot. Bad news.

I don't see how you'd get that out if it. I mentioned big name free agents because I'm wondering if that's what folks that are against the Parker trade are holding out for. I don't see how Parker does pretty much the same think as Tyreke. from what I've seen Parker can run an offense much better than Tyreke.
The point I would make is that there is no comparison between Jimmer and either Reddick or Morrison. He is more talented and more athletic than either of them. Jimmer is NOT a one dimentional scorer like those two players. And he can create his own shot, which is something neither of them were even able to do at the college level.
I'm 50/50 on getting Tony. Yes, he's an experienced vet with some jewelry to show for it and he's still 29, he got plenty of years left in him. However, he isn't that good of a shooter so I don't see how him and Reke would really co-exist. Even if they did, I don't think I want to kill our cap space adding RJ, I was never a fan of his. I'd rather keep the pick then.
This trade reminds me a lot of the Raiders trading a 1st rounder for an aging Richard Seymour a couple years ago. Pats were kinda in the same situation that the Spurs are in now, they could win a lot of games, but just weren't good enough to get it done in the postseason, and had a lot of expensive, older guys on the team. Both these teams are smart enough to start moving a few guys a little early and maximize the value, while saving money and adding youth.
Everyone thought that it was a bad trade for the Raiders, Seymour was too old and cost to much to be worth a first rounder. But Seymour came in and changed the whole attitude of the team and suddenly guys who had talent but were underachieving were looking solid and sometimes overachieving. Seymour had made a huge impact for that team off the field. I think if you have a chance to add Parker who has been in the playoffs every year he's been in the league, is a finals MVP, along with Jefferson, who I view as a pretty good guy, not getting into trouble or anything, maybe he gets a little too touchy-feely with Luke Walton at times, but he has been to a bunch of postseasons and a couple Finals, so he would come into the team and show that maybe the way he acts and trains is the way it should be done. Its kinda pathetic that the leader of this team (Francisco, who I really like) has never played int he playoffs. If you come in with a bad attitude what credentials does Francisco have to tell you how to be? Its just too much talent too pass on, and this team spent a lot of time putting itself into a position of making a talent for money type of trade and they need to cash in on it.

I will say this .. someone tweeted about an hour ago, I cant even remember who cause my brain is pretty much turning to mush will all this trade talk, but someone said Sac wont deal for Parker because of his contract, but Felton for 7 is still in play.
I would take Parker and the bad Jefferson contract before I take a one year rental on Felton any day of the week. Felton for #7 would be a terrible trade. One of Petries worst. It cant be even remotely true.

The Spurs trying to saddle Jefferson's contract along with Parker's isn't helping anyone. No one would ever do that trade. I actually thought Jefferson played well this year but he might have benefited from SAS's strong season in general, so there's skepticism there. Not to mention that two aging athletes with middling long-range J's won't age well, so no one will take them in duplicate. One toxic contract and one potentially likely toxic contract for a high lottery pick would be highway robbery.

Apparently the Spurs and Blazers were going to do the Parker trade, but Jefferson killed that one, too.

That's a pretty good haul for San Antonio. They must be desperate to ditch Jefferson's contract.
