and who the does the knicks have that the spurs want
As the Knick front office monitors all of the latest chatter about LeBron James, the team is putting just as much emphasis on planning an alternative course of action in case James sign elsewhere or remains in Cleveland.
Several sources tell Alan Hahn of Newsday that the Spurs are "clearly ready to consider moves" for Tony Parker.

and who the does the knicks have that the spurs want
Yeah, these knick rumors don't make any sense because they don't have any players the spurs would want and they don't have a high draft choice. I don't even see a three way trade working out that would send Parker to NY because no one is giving up enough talent for the spurs to want to trade their former Finals MVP.
how someone can come with this BS, if you come up with false report at least make sure it will be logical, you should know the Knicks had nothing to give for Parker.
NY writers have a history of overvaluing the Knick roster and speculating wildly on how a combo of their average to below average Knicks will be packaged for a top tier talent.
Spurs would only trade Parker for a player that puts them over the top as a contender or gives them a top 5 pick and quality young players.
Knick writers are just daydreaming as they won't sign any top free agents or make any blockbuster trades. The Knick fans are bored.
I really don't think the Spurs would do it, but I'll play as the article's advocate. It mentioned a S&T with David Lee. He would seem redundant if Tiago comes over however he's been working on his 3 point shot so he could potentially be a much better Bonner. Or perhaps whoever the Spurs receive from NYK will be later traded off for a pick or other players.
Maybe they can take on Jefferson's contract?
Other than David Lee, I don't know who they could offer. But that isn't if the Spurs bring
over Splitter before Lee, then it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.
Look on the bright side, at we have something to talk about and make duck sweat at the same time.
the rumor i heard is eddy curry+ chandler + douglas for parker
That trade would make me puke.
no Gallinari
Yawn~
'Several sources' meaning the countless dumbass threads on SpursTalk?
Any trade not including both Chandler/Gallinari and some type of draft pick/other sweetener, would be a complete travesty.
Exactly.
Spurs should consider moves for Parker, just not dumb ones...
Well... so far we can trade Parker for Michael Beasley, Brandon Rush or Eddy Curry.
TP is and will be our PG...../thread
yeah spurs are looking to trade him
you think it is likely even though you think this rumor is false but you believe since they mention him being expandable he is being shopped
Parker wouldn't last long in NY. After a thousand fans would've told him "that's why you lost" or something, he'd flip out and end up in jail.
Well, , if they think he's the next Oliver Miller ... might as well take New York's trash (or poor offer).
It's gotten to the point where there's too much smoke to not think there's some fire. I'd be surprised if he get's moved this off season barring some unforeseen offer, but I'm starting to wonder whether he'll be a Spur past next season at this point. The odds of that only increase if the Spurs draft Williams.
If he demands a max deal, that's one thing, but if the Spurs just don't want to commit a lucrative, long-term contract to Parker, then I don't get it. While they can all handle the ball, Hill isn't a true PG and Ginobili and Williams are SG's (in addition, Williams is an unproven player at this level). This notion that Hill's emergence makes Parker expendable is foolish. With the age, mileage and injury history of Ginobili and Parker, this team needs three high level guards to be a contender.
Financially, I don't get it either (again, assuming it just takes a relatively modest raise and not the max). Even if Splitter is signed for around the MLE, McDyess is gone after next season, as is Jefferson, if he's not dealt by the deadline. Even if he's re-signed, it'll be at a drastically reduced price. So the Spurs will be shedding enough payroll to account for Parker's raise.
Unless it's a three or four team deal, I can't see him going to the Knicks straight up. As many have alluded to, they don't have the assets to make this worth the Spurs while. Even if they offered Lee in a sign-and-trade, he's not a good fit for the Spurs and if the Spurs were reluctant to offer a lucrative, long-term contract to Parker, then I doubt they will be to Lee, even though he's expected to make less. The difference probably won't be drastic enough that the Spurs would not pay the former, who's not only a better player and fit for the team, but has so much past history with them and at the same time pay the latter.
The price for Parker

Tony Parker | Spurs
Ever since the Spurs' season ended abruptly with a sweep at the hands of the Suns in the second round of the playoffs, Tony Parker has been the one name thrown out as a possible trade chip.
Parker is heading into the last year of his contract and the team is looking to do a little retooling. He's an All-Star caliber player when healthy and the Spurs have George Hill as solid option to replace Parker.
There's been some chatter that New York could be a possible landing spot for Parker, but void of a draft pick this season and not a lot of trade chips otherwise, this likely isn't an ideal fit for the Spurs.
So what are they looking for in return for Parker? According to ESPN's Chad Ford, it's possible the Spurs could trade Parker if they can move up far enough in the draft to grab a big.
ESPN's Chad Ford
If Spurs can land big, they'll move Parker
"The Spurs and Thunder are also in the hunt for a big and have targeted a number of teams in the lottery to move up a few spots. The Thunder have multiple picks to offer. The Spurs have Tony Parker or George Hill. While the Spurs aren't necessarily shopping either player, they're not untouchable either. If the Spurs can get another big man to help prolong Tim Duncan's career, they'll do it."
The only way there's any logic to this is if the Spurs are certain that Splitter isn't signing.
Exactly. They are getting Tiago (hopefully) so they (hopefully) can satisfy that desire without giving up an asset. Plus, I don't see a big worth a damn in this draft.
Chad Ford. The same guy who broke the Parker for Troy Murphy rumor.
