The San Antonio Spurs have five players over the age of 30 on their roster, which means that the window of opportunity might be closing for the team to capture another championship.

But the Spurs might already be looking toward the future, as they have reportedly talked to multiple lottery teams about the possibility of swapping star point guard Tony Parker in exchange for a high first-round pick, according to ESPN.com.

The Spurs have reportedly had talks with the Toronto Raptors (No. 5 pick) and the Sacramento Kings (No. 7 pick).

Parker, who has spent his entire career with the Spurs, turns 30 next year. He averaged 17.7 points and 6.6 assists last season, each better than his career averages, as the Spurs finished first in the Western Conference before being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Memphis Grizzlies.
