Spurs fielding calls on Tony Parker with hopes of a high lottery pick

"Tony Parker's days running the Spurs' offense could be numbered.

Yahoo Sports.com reported Wednesday night that the Spurs are fielding trade offers to secure a high draft pick in Thursday's draft.

Yahoo reports that the Spurs have talked to Toronto, which is picking fifth, and Sacramento, which is picking seventh, about their first-round draft picks.

Parker, who turned 29 last month, is considered to be the most marketable of the Spurs' "Big Three" because of his age and potential replacements at the position in George Hill and Gary Neal.

But still, it's a shocker the Spurs would want to trade into the upper part of what most observers believe is a shallow, weak pool of talent.

Kyrie Irving of Duke is considered the overwhelming choice for the No. 1 pick. Most talent analysts believe he will struggle to reach the level of Parker, who averaged 17.5 points, 6.6 assists and led the Spurs in minutes played last season.

League sources also said the Spurs are shopping Hill for a potential pick at the back end of the lottery as well."
