"Spurs point guard Tony Parker has made his lockout fallback plan official.

Should the NBA's ongoing labor standoff postpone the start of the regular season, Parker has signed to play with ASVEL Villeurbanne, the French League team of which he is part owner.

Parker announced the decision, which had been telegraphed for weeks, Wednesday morning on his Twitter account.

In Parker the player, Parker the general manager got quite a steal. The three-time All-Star, slated to earn $12.5 million in the NBA this season, will play for $1,995 per month in France."
