Spurs guard Parker signs 4-year, $50M extension
By PAUL J. WEBER, Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO (AP)—Tony Parker swore he didn’t want to leave the Spurs, and he has a new contract to finally prove it.

The Spurs signed Parker to a multiyear extension Saturday that preserves their three-time NBA champion core of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and the star point guard, and puts an abrupt end to what would’ve undoubtedly been a season of speculation.

The extension is for $50 million over four years, according to Parker’s website.

There goes the Parker to NY rumors.

Though, Carmelo seems to be a decent shot for the Knicks.
