Yes and yes!
bluff
Yes and yes!
Could it be that there's a trade offer on the table involving Parker, that doesn't interest the Knicks for now, but once Amare signs they'd pull the trigger?
Just thinkin' out loud here..
Legit question. Anyone know the answer? Is this any different from the Bones "get me out of here" comment? Where's the line?
this Amare guy is quite dumb..even if it's true, these statements could change the future negociations
new york spin doctors doing overtime
Maybe tony is OK with Amare saying that.
By claiming he will go to NY next year as a FA he want to avoid a trade with a ty team like the pacers rumor of last month.
That would make sence with l'equipe interview. One last year with the spurs and then going in a new challenge : NY with Melo and Amare.
For the spurs, it would be the worst case scenario. We would have nothing in return of TP.
People who expect Tony to hang around for the demise of the Spurs are sure to be disappointed.
So George Hill and Temple gonna be our PGs??? lol lol lol lol lol We are ed then. IF we don't get Splitter, Spurs will have Big 1.5 (.75 Duncan + .75 Manu = Big 1.5).
I hope tony doesnt leave, would be a sad day
Amare can say what he wants to say. He is not under contract so their is no tampering.
I think in this world of appearance over fact that if you say things enough times they tend to become true. The same with a Parker trade.
For those of you who keep saying Hill is not a PG. Hill is a PG. Why? Because Pop says so. So, get use to it.

The positive aspect of this Amares wet fantasy is: Tony + Melo + Amare = No defense, happy game, fast-pace, NO CHAMPIONSHIP !!! lol lol lol
...and exactly what was it that the Suns organization was able to accomplish during the Stoudamire era that he's so proud of?
at those who were clamoring for the Spurs to acquire this guy.
Amare and Tony won't really scare anyone. He couldn't do much damage with one of the best PGs of all time spoon feeding him on a much more loaded team than the Knicks.
If, a very big if tony was indeed traded to the knicks I would hope for Gallinari + a huge trade exemption (I believe this is possible since the knicks are under the cap). I would then go out and sign Felton from FA. So basically the trade would look like this:
TP for Gallinari + 10mil TE + Felton (signed FA)..I think this is possible or I could be talking out of my ass. In the end its much easier on us if TP just stays.
yeh someone put it best the other day saying that Parker is not the type of guy who will stick around on a team that can't give him exposure. The funny thing is that only way the team improves is by trading him.
You have to realize with comments like these, that Parker will become a distraction next season; it's best at this point for the Spurs to start shopping Parker around the league once Lebron is settled. It won't matter where Parker lands because he can become a top FA for next offseason; I think he'd approve any trade.
Knicks overpaid Amare big time...but I actually do believe Parker would do well on the Knicks....with all that exposure. But honestly after paying Amare 100 million 5 year deal how in the do they get a supporting cast...it's like TWolves all over again.

I thought I read somewhere that if we get a TE in a deal like this that it will screw with our cash to pay Splitter and actually only allow us yo have about 2 mil in the end.
Thanks for the info..Thought my idea sounded to good
David Lee is overrated and benefits from playing in the system. Its like Golden State players who put up huge numbers. Lee can't play defense and will not do anything to make the Spurs better. The only way a trade for TP works with the Knicks is if another team is involved.
If the Spurs sign Splitter *before* making this hypothetical trade, then the TE would be intact.
Even if they traded Parker first, the Spurs would have enough cap space to sign Splitter and still have the TE...I think.
The Knicks roster right now is garbage. The only Draft pick they have in the next two years is the Houston Rockets and that likely is pick 15 or worse. David Lee is a FA and could sign anywhere. The courting of Amare shows what the Knicks think of Lee since they play the same position.
The Spurs are a much better team than the Knicks EVEN WITH an aging Duncan and Ginobili. They actually have a core of 3-4 young players with potential (assuming Splitter comes in). The Knicks will win just enough games with Amare where they will not have any high lottery pick until the year 2013 at the earliest - by that time Amare's knees will be beyond repair. Going there is a recipe for losing like TP has never seen. That team will not play any D to save its life, especially if Stoudamire goes there.
All this crap from the NY Daily News lapdog is really starting to get irritating.
NY cannot just sign one free agent this year and wait till next year. They will get crucified by the local rags. I'd be less surprised if Jefferson took their money this year after all the good free agents turned them down (Amare included). RJ seems more interested in his address and guaranteed money than winning basketball games. He'll be more than happy to take the Knicks scraps.
Where did Amare go after his NY trip? Chicago and Miami to see what they could give him. What a moron.
The comments Stoudamire made just confirm what has been known forever - he is literally dumb as a box of rocks.
Amare being Amare. Nothing to see here.
how many time do i have to type this: gallinari is untouchable. even if there is a trade, it would be wilson chandler+ toney douglas .
I know the money factor was the tipping point, as always, but I find it funny thing that Amare really thinks he'll be happy in New York. With the added fan pressure and media scrutiny, not to mention the fact that he'll likely not be playing with another pass-first PG, he'll quickly come to regret by midseason - if not sooner. Book it!
do you think Spurs do this: Toney Douglas, Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, David Lee for Parker, Blair?
