It was just that a rumor. Didn't say anything about a trade scenario or anything. It also said that NY would be able to possibly sign Tony to a max deal after his contract with the Spurs is up.
TP denied rumor.

I hope it dont Happen, The Knicks Have Nobody on there Roster Worth Taking except David Lee..... And even he is undersized.....
Lee and Gallinari. The delimma is if you do not try and do something now, what do you do when he walks next year for nothing. I feel he is a businessman first. He's got his rings, Now it will be tiime to make his money. Max contracts aside, that is done through endorsement deals in NY.
I love "if you report it, it must be true" journalism.
Yawn.
There was a lot of Tony Parker talk on 760 this morning. Peter Burns mentioned that a buddy of his texted him yesterday about seeing Parker's dad out this weekend, and how he was spouting off about Tony not being in a Spurs uniform much longer. This is how rumors get started and why they won't go away.
The Spurs may trade Tony Parker, but it won't be to New York. The man doesn't necessarily want to leave San Antonio, he just wants to get paid.
Keep Tony unless an unbelievable trade comes up.
TOny for a scrub
Please
Lee and Gallo for Parker in a millisecond.
Plus a passable PG plus Splitter,
minus Jefferson and the Spurs are contenders again.
The only player I'd want from NY is Wilson Chandler. That guy knows how to play & win.
But I wouldn't trade Parker for him.
only person on the knicks that i would like to see with the spurs is david lee. it's possible through a sign and trade but knicks need to offer a lot more than lee for parker.
Why would the Spurs want to spend an extra 10-12 million dollars a year on another front-court player, when Splitter is pretty much coming over here for less than half that price?
With Splitter the front-court is pretty much set with Duncan/Splitter/McDyess and Blair. The value of his 10-12 million dollar contract on the Spurs would be one of the worst with the minutes available in the front-court.
Now if we were talking about Bosh or an elite big man, where the drop-off in talent is more significant then I'd think it would be worth it.
But IMO David Lee is not an elite big man and I don't think the drop-off in talent between Splitter and Lee is significant enough to warrant a 10-12 million salary addition to the already set front-court(if Splitter comes over) .
Don't get me wrong Lee had a great year last year, but IMO Lee's numbers were inflated with the system he was in. Those numbers and his productivity wouldn't be anywhere near the same in the Spurs system.
IMO It's pretty dumb basketball economics to make a move for Lee with Splitter coming over.

The Knicks want him, too.
I like Chandler and Gallo. if Hill makes the jump in improvement from this year to next that he made from last year to this year, it might not be a bad idea to look to NY for an offer.
Maybe work out a 3-way trade to somehow get Bosh....
The problem is the Knicks have a roster.

David Lee is horribly overrated...
And this summer he'll be horribly overpaid. He'll have plenty of company in that category. Bosh, Joe Johnson, and Boozer will get max or near-max contracts that none of them will live up to.
Agreed
Closest ones living up to their max deals would be Bosh and Boozer.
If Tony could get a max deal he should split. As much hate he gets here in SA I wouldn't blame the guy, but I hope he doesn't. He'll be back to burn the Spurs though.
Boozer? He won't come close. The thing is that with the way the NBA works, there are tiers of players.Agreed
Closest ones living up to their max deals would be Bosh and Boozer.
Their is a tier for max money players, but you will get a wide array of production from top to bottom. Lebron/Wade...those guys are in the same tier as Bosh money wise, but the production and results will vary greatly. But you can't bump a guy like Bosh out of that tier, because, like people have said, someone will technically over pay. At least in comparison to max money. But by that logic, really everyone outside of a few players are overpaid in that tier.
My point was Boozer would be closer than Joe Johnson living up to the max money he will receive.
I didn't say Boozer would live up to his max deal I said he would be one of the closest ones in the (Bosh, Joe Johnson, Rudy Gay, David Lee, ect. sector).
I'm aware of the tiers of players in the NBA. Thanks for the reminder though.
