The Spurs' first-round pick, point guard Tony Parker, is contractually-bound to play next season in France, report Johnny Ludden of the San Antonio Express. However, his agent, Mark Fleischer, says he already had a verbal agreement on a buy-out if Parker was taken in the first round. He expects no problems in the negotiation next week. Parker believes the buyout will be under $500,000. However, Parker won't show up in San Antonio until later in the summer as he competes for France's under-20 national team.
