not in a million year!
Why the would you want to throw Blair into the mix? The idea is get the most you can for Parker in a trade scenario. Absolutely no need to give the Knicks anything else of value in return. After all, remember THEY are the desparate team in this scenario.
did you even read my post?
gallinari is untouchable.
The Spurs FO is going to try and get the most value for any player they trade. NY has very limited resources to trade because of their salary and draft pick dump. There are 28 other teams and probably 28 other teams with more desireable players or draft picks. Tony Parker does not have a no trade clause, so if he is told to pack in the next 9 months, he's gotta go anywhere the Spurs send him.
I doubt SA deals Parker now. The trade deadline is an entirely different story. We should know a lot more about the Spurs team by then.
NY does not have a right to get good players just because they are the Knicks. The Madison Square Garden faithful can watch Amare score 30 every night and lose by double digits all they want. The Knicks don't even have a MLE or LLE since they are under the salary cap.
Its seems amazing that people get paid hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to run these NBA teams and about half of them can't figure out there are too many dollars chasing too few players this year. A couple of the teams with cap space are going to have to sign above average (not great) players for ridiculous money.
The Spurs FO did a smart thing signing Ginobili signing the way things have gone so far. He got a fair deal for short team to match his potentially productive years. A desparate team would have gone overboard to sign him this summer to more years.

Hi Donnie Walsh.
haha Amare. I don't think this will happen. It's just his crap. We will see though.
Max money and New York might be too much for Tony and Eva to resist.
The Knicks need to sign two max players now. JJ and Amare are the most likely guys. With the CBA in flux, there is now way of knowing what the salary cap will be to sign guys next summer. The cap may be drastically lower or there may be a lockout where no deals can take place.
Todays cap room may be yesterday's news. Room for a max contract may not be there. BTW Eddie Curry's expiring does not equate to a max deal.
This.
A'm'a'r'e is dumb as a post. Neither guy is a FA, and NY has nothing their teams want.
Amare is obviously willing to wait one year. He's talking about next summer.This.

I don't get Amare - if he's so hot on the Knicks, why is he visiting the Bulls on Tuesday?
even the knicks have to be shaking their heads on this one. the last thing they need is any suggestion of tampering.
Tampering much?
That's true but which team will give up a lot of assets to get 9 months of Tony Parker already commited to NY ???
By saying he goes to NY next year, he avoid any trade this year IMO
The more it goes, the more I'm sure Tony will sign an extention with the spurs...
This is just Tony "letting" his value going higher.
Remember how Manu looked so sure in interviews that last year would be his last with a spur uniform, you sow what happened...
lmao I wonder if amare realizes that neither of these guys are free agents
Maybe targeting Tony and Melo next season is something the Knicks mentioned in trying to sell themselves to Amare. Amare, being the dumb bag of bricks that he is, then took that and ran with it.
Ya know...like when you ask your mom for a car on your 16th birthday and she says "we'll see" and you go around proclaiming to everyone in 4th period lunch that you're getting a car next year. Then, in a year everyone laughs at you as you stare out the school bus window.
Amare is so ing stupid.
I dont get him most of the time, and I sure as dont see no fit that actually makes sense for the Spurs..
Because he knows he can't win in New York. The Knicks are so far behind the rest of the NBA it's frightening. They've got a gutted roster, no draft picks, bad management and incompetent ownership. Both Amare and the Knicks know there is no way they're ever going to get a player of LeBron's magnitude.
The Knicks are even behind the Nets, who won all of 12 games last season. The difference? The Nets already have some good, young pieces, draft choices and an owner with unlimited resources and a hunger to get better. Their future is very, very bright.
Like almost every player, Amare wants the cash first. Certainly don't blame him for that. Amare is searching for both money and happiness and I'm not sure he's going to be able to achieve both. However, he's clearly hedging because he knows the immediate future in New York will be dismal.
Either way, he'll be a likely consolation prize to whichever team loses out in the LeBronathon. I'm certain that he'll eventually regret whatever decision he elects to make.
what is obvious as well is that the knicks are not exactly jumping for amare as their first or even second choice.
i dont get the whole " knicks have nothing to justify trading parker" crowd. THE MOTHER ER IS WALKING NEXT YEAR! Trade his ass for any decent deal so we get something instead of nothing.
LOL Crymare
yep...
Lets say the Knicks somehow (and your guess is as good as mine as to how they'd get Parker and Melo given how little worthy assets they have to trade) got these 3 guys, none of them would step up as the defensive anchor and leader any team coached by D'antoni will need. My guess is he'd go with Amare at center, Melo at PF, and Galinari at SF and they would play next to no D.
Lee would obviously be here to take the front court reigns over when Tim retires. They'd just be shortcutting the lotto ball hopes.
