who's ec? eddy curry
td? tony douglas
Take this with a big ole grain of salt but a Knicks fan who says he has inside sources claims a trade could be in the works for one Tony Parker. Since I don’t wanna get my hands dirty with this I’ll let my buddy the block quotes pull the trigger:
Read onThis is what I am hearing:
Spurs: EC, TD, and the clippers 8th
Clippers: Wilson Chandler
Knicks: Tony Parker
We get a championship PG veteran who is only 28 along with additional cap relief. Make it happen Donnie!
who's ec? eddy curry
td? tony douglas
omg td and clippers 8th is fine but eddy curry?
How on Earth does this make sense for the Spurs? 8th pick, Curry and Douglas for TP.

Yep and yep. My knicks fan buddy says Douglas is actually a very good young player. Not sure how I'd feel about a Douglas/Hill backcourt.
This makes even less sense for the Clippers than the Spurs. Knick fan dreaming big.
If the Knicks want to get any player making $$$ they'll have to include Curry because he's the only one on their current roster making any significant money. You'd think they would want to include a third team for that specific reason because almost no one will want to take Curry on. He's basically ONLY an expiring contract.
replace eddy curry with david lee......and i can see the spurs FO getting it done
Supposedly the guy has legit sources. He posted about the TMac deal several days before it happened. Thought it was worth posting though I don't see it, as it is, coming to fruition.
WHAT THE .
if this was 2005 or 2007 and Duncan was still an elite player, fine... maybe i can see it happening. but you don't trade away your best player for supporting cast guys. Parker isn't going anywhere. w/o Parker this team isn't contending for .
I would not even want this with David Lee. He is overrated and does nothing to help the Spurs significantly imo.
Not to mention Chandler for the eigth overall pick in the draft.
That's bad even for a make believe rumor.
Exactly what I asked the knicks fan. Waiting on a reply.
Curry is an expiring $12 million deal next summer. Along with Jefferson's $15 million, it puts the Spurs in the running to "hypothetically" sign a big name guy next summer after all the contenders blow their wads this summer. In the meantime, he's a post scorer to spell TD, but doesn't help with the rebounding and shot blocking we need. Douglas would be a nich back up for George Hill.
I'm not advocating this trade; just trying to figure out what the Spurs might be thinking if indeed this trade is "in the works." There must be a guy the Spurs REALLY want in the Top 10 picks this year.
I am not dogging you for posting it, I just don't see this as a legit deal for 2 of the 3 teams. The Clippers are getting screwed big time. Wilson Chandler for the 8th pick?
I like Douglas. The 8th pick seems great. But Curry? TP is a fantastic player and the Spurs should get more if they really wanted to move him. There are some other deals, with teams with picks 10-18 that seem infinitely better in theory.
I think a S&T of Lee would be more what the Spurs would want but it would depend on Lee wanting to be in SA. Not sure he wants that after being in D'Antoni's system. The part that confuses me is the Clips only getting Chandler. Hopefully this guy will talk to his "friend" and get more info about it.
There is absolutely no ing way the Spurs FO would trade for Eddy Curry.
FAIL.
I have no idea why the Clippers would do that.
At all. Could be a fan just overrating their players.
If I remember correctly, a while ago (like months) there was a rumor that the Spurs were interested in Eddy Curry. That may be the source of this.
Why Lee? What does he bring to the table that the Spurs need? He is a glorified Blair and addresses no needs.
I like Lee. I think he is a fine player, but I don't see him bringing much to the Spurs (as we are currently constructed).
for tony ing weak ec for anyone=
I'm saying if that's the framework of the deal, the Spurs would rather have Lee (to make the salaries match) than Curry. Not that they really want to get Lee.
I can't see this at all. If anything, you'd think the Clippers would simply trade out of the draft to save money in advance of free agency. And the Spurs would need more talent back for Parker. Curry+Chandler+Walker+the 8th pick might make San Antonio think, but it doesn't seem right and why would L.A. participate?
Maybe if we swing Eddy Curry to Philly for Iggy. Yeah, right.
Maybe we could pawn Jefferson off on the Clips
If this is the best we can do trading Tony than I'll take Tony.
