NYTimes: Article on the Kidd/Parker thing years ago...

So apparently the Spurs wanted to get Kidd AND keep Parker, not trade him. I never knew that:

I remember that was the whole plan in the first place. It would be interesting to see which backcourt would've been the most successful Parker/Kidd or Parker/Ginobili?

One major problem with a Parker/Kidd backcourt: at the time, neither one could shoot.
