Parker isn't going anywhere, I don't think the Spurs would trade him after asking him to not play fot the French NT this summer.
The new owner of the Nets is the richest owner in the NBA and tosses a million dollars around like its a ten dollar tip. The Nets will be more willing to spend than any other team in the NBA. This guy makes Mark Cuban look like Donald Sterling.

Yi, Harris and NJ number one for Parker and SA number one. Do it!
parker blair #20 for devin harris and #3?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck nooooooooooo
Given Nets new ownership, it should be Karaulov for #3.
Doesn't that just add to his trade value?
i'd better do Parker ,Blair and #20 for Brand and #2, i love Evan Turner!
Hey guys,
Me and Steve, who wrote the blurb on Favors, bumped into Derrick here at the Sheraton on the North side of Chicago where everyone is staying for the combine when he was on his way to interview with the Spurs. In my opinion this ultimately leads to nothing because it'd take such a huge move for the Spurs to get up that high and I'm not sure they're ready to do something of that magnitude - especially for a guy that is so young and raw. Getting him would likely mean giving up pieces that would take them out of contention next year and I don't think that's the direction they're trying to go. Internally teams go over so many options and check in on so many avenues, more than anything I think the Spurs are intrigued by Favors and just wanted to get to know him a little better. You never know what can happen down the line, Favors probably won't end up a Spur on draft night, but there's no telling whether or not their paths could cross down the line. The most interesting part of the whole thing though is that we've talked to every prospect here and none of the other top eight guys are willing to talk to teams that high up. It could be nothing more than the Favors' camp having respect for the Spurs and appreciating their interest, but no other players/agents in the lottery are giving that kind of love to teams that high.
wtf lol the 6ers get favors, we'd get Turner. Tuner > > > Favors, I don't care who else we have on the wing or athletic ability.
Much pipe dreaming here in this thread though
All the videos clips I see of players make them look all world. Remember James White, Marcus Haislip and Pops? I'm not comparing those players to Favors since I believe he will be the real deal but not now. Just saying let's not base your opinions on video clips. That is selective video clips.
He is the Russian version of Cuban.
Agreed. I would love to have Turner but getting the #3 pick would take some doing and that doing may just lead to blowing the team up, which I think isn't in the Spurs plans.
That will hapeen when TD retires and Pop leaves.
The guy was playing against an all midget team. Hard to tell much from that.
if anyone, it will be RJ for Farvors.
Why would the Nets do that?
Well wouldn't that be even a bigger plus for the spurs and not a downside? I know we don't really need another guard, but Turner is gonna be a huge player in this league soon, and he's very NBA ready.
I've now read/listened in multiple places that the sixers are thinking about actually trading that pick to anyone who will take Brand's contract though. Disastrous
Derrick Favors on his Spurs interview
by Timothy Varner
Derrick Favors does not speak Russian, but he’s willing to learn.
Yesterday Steve Kyler reported that the Spurs had interviewed Derrick Favors during this year’s draft combine. The situation is strange so far as the Spurs draft at 20 and Favors is currently the consensus No. 3 pick.
The Favors interview is reminiscent of another unlikely player interview: last year the Spurs interviewed DeJuan Blair as part of the Draft Combine process.

If the 76ers are that desperate to get rid of Brand's contract would they consider a jefferson for brand/2nd pick swap? Doubt it, but it's still interesting that the spurs would interview Favors.
^Nevermind the spurs can't trade Jefferson until after July 1st anyway and the draft is June 24th.
Well they could just let the 76ers draft for them then do the trade but it ain't happening... anyway if that was the case they should be interviewing Turner, him & wall are clearly steps ahead of the rest of the class
If we trade for Brand and somehow manage the 2nd pick there is no way we take Favors over Turner anyway.
The Nets theory makes more sense, but do Parker and Harris' contracts even match up? I thought Tony was set to make about 5 million more then Harris next year. I know NJ has cap room right now, but I'm not sure how close they are to the max contract money. Would 5 million less make a difference in their FA aspirations? If that is the case then Parker + 20 for Harris + Terrence Williams + 3 would work so they don't lose as much money and we get a young SF. There are two scenarios I can think of in which this trade makes sense for NJ:
A. They think that Lebron or Wade is more likely to come with Parker there.
B. They are assuming that this trade does not affect Lebron or Wade at all, meaning the small chance NJ has of landing one of them wont be affected negatively or positively by this trade. In that case Parker's expiring contract is attractive as trade bait next season or simply as more cap space in 2011. Best case they land Lebron and either make a big trade involving Parker, sign him to play along Lebron next year or just use the extra cap room in 2011. Worst case they miss out on Lebron and Wade and make a run at Carmelo in 2011 with the option of resigning Parker to play with him, as well as another lottery pick (more then likely)
I think, realistically, the chances of this happening are less then 1%. But It's still fun to speculate.

Once again...like I said earlier in the thread this will not happen without the Spurs giving up their 1st or a player like Blair or Hill. No way Jersey does it without that combo of package in return. Jersy can make a front court of Favors/Lopez...and that is gonna be good for quite a few years. They wont give that up...with their starting PG...for Tony Parker alone. Not a chance.
I tried a trade on trade machine on ESPN and it said players with ETO's or PO's can't be traded before July 1st.
There's probably less than 1% chance of the Spurs acquiring the second or third pick.
If we're going to speculate, I'd say there is zero chance that the Spurs make a trade with Philly if that trade includes taking Brand back as part of the deal. Even if Philly took RJ back in return, the Spurs would be paying over 40M in additional salary to exchange RJ for Turner and whatever basketball Brand has left in him. No way.
Parker and the 20th pick for Harris and the third pick is also highly unlikely, but it does have the advantage of not crippling the franchise financially.
I'm gonna go ahead and lay out what I think what happen if we made this trade. We wont be going for Favors. Its a smokescreen. We want Cousins. We want a bad ass in the paint who can defend and score. A true Center. There is no reason to trade for a guy who would play behind Tim and Blair. Cousins is the guy we want.
If Splitter comes over, this trade is not needed.
If he doesn't? Spurs clearly won't be equipped to contend without a big move, so why not roll the dice with Harris and Favors?
