'Asked if he had any interest in moving from San Antonio to play for the Knicks, as has been speculated, Parker would only say, “I’m on vacation.”'

I call BS. The NYPost is a much more credible source.

So he had an opportunity to flat out deny the NY reports but instead continues to fuel the fire with a vague response like that....how can anyone interpret what he said and thinks thats a step towards him staying?!

[Leonard Curse]

now the parker peeps are going to make this a credble source all of a sudden and dismiss it if theres any quotes of him saying he wants to be a knick, parker is drama and his wife fed his ego now its too late hes going to be a knick and he should hes already got the personality and attitude. hell be half the player w/out timmy pop and manu you watch they might as well have gotten monta ellis

[JustinJDW]

Tony wants/needs to fuel the fire just like Manu did last season. It's contract time people. It's about $$$. If he says anything committing one way or another, even to dispel a rumor, his contract leverage deteriorates. If he says, "I'm a Spur for life, screw NY," then RC and Pop have the upper hand. The dude wants more money, and playing this game is a way around actually testing free agency while still ensuring that Holt's purse strings stay loose.

Get used to the cloud of uncertainty. It will be with us all season. There is no question in my mind though that all of this is just contract posturing, and that Tony will be back.

seeing how difficult his last contract was to finalize (anyone remember that?) I don't blame Parker one bit for his current position.
