really? you need to post this twice?
According to HoopsWorld, the San Antonio Spurs had a deal with the Portland Trailblazers for Tony Parker, but the deal died when the Spurs wanted Richard Jefferson involved in the deal:
The San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers nearly completed a blockbuster trade on Wednesday afternoon, but the deal fell apart in the late stages. San Antonio was prepared to ship Tony Parker and the #29 pick to Portland in exchange for Andre Miller, Nicolas Batum and the #21 pick. Other players would have been included in the trade to make salaries work. However, the deal died when the Spurs insisted that Richard Jefferson somehow be included. Since San Antonio's attempt to add Jefferson, talks have quieted, but they could pick up tomorrow if one of these teams has a change of heart.
Seems the Spurs are pushing more for Jefferson and his bloated contract in any Parker deal. But as said before, Jefferson's contract, coupled with his less-than-spectacular play on the court, makes any deal involving him difficult to sell to another team.
If the report is true, had the Spurs traded with Portland, they would have gotten older by adding Miller but Batum would have been a nice addition adding youth and athleticism. Plus the Spurs could have used the 21st pick to possibly select a player such as USC's Nicola Vucevic.
However, Spurs GM R.C. Buford shot down any reports the team was shopping any players and I spoke to Parker at Steve Nash's Showdown in Chinatown in New York City and he reiterated his desire to stay in San Antonio and that the Spurs front office has not contacted him regarding any deal.
It would appear a deal involving Parker could be still on the table as the NBA Draft nears.
Thoughts Spurs fans? Think Parker will still be a Spur after the draft tomorrow?

Why didn't you just post the hoopsworld story?
Sorry..just found it on Project Spurs...
Don't apologize. them z.
The link to hoopsworld is right on that page.
If we could pull it off, I'd be down for that..Batum would be awesome in black and silver..
Pretty horrible if that's all there is to it.
Understand..but why do it that way when the Project Spurs article had the whole HoopsWorld article and then broke it down? Gave you more to read.
Do you work for them?
No..just saw the article and thought it'd be interesting. Everybody having Tony talk, just thought I'd throw my two cents in.
Would have to be more than Batum. At the LEAST the spurs keeps their own first rounder...
If there's anything worse about the actual trade, it's arguing about semantics of posting said trade.
But you didn't say anything about it.
How about ing about the arguing of the semantics of posting a trade?
No..you're right..I didn't..but does it matter? I just posted the article... ...Just saw something people might be interested in and posted it. Damn..some of you people are going to start making it where people don't post that they find because they're going to get the third degree because of HOW they posted it.
The trade has Andre Miller, Batum, and the 21st..I kind of like it.
I said this in the other thread, they'd have to throw in Gerald Wallace for me to be even remotely interested.
Finally.
um...posting an article?
lol
