Get Parker !

Over the last couple months we've heard rumors of Tony Parker wanting to be a knick. Today Alan from Newsday reported that the Knicks won't wait until 2011 where Carmelo Anthony and others will be a free agents.

According to several sources, the Spurs may be downplaying trade rumors involving Tony Parker, but they are clearly ready to consider moves. The franchise committed to Manu Ginobili and have George Hill as a built-in replacement, which has made Parker expendable. But at what cost?

The Knicks would love to get a deal done before July 1 as an attention-grabber for free agents, but it might take the rights to David Lee in a sign-and-trade to get the Spurs talking. If that’s the case, it couldn’t happen until after July 1, because, as a one-year contract player, Lee can’t be signed to an extension.


The knicks need to jump on this. If the knicks can get this done it will show the free agents that Walsh means business and he will do what ever it takes to build a championship team around them. Now if we have to give up Gallo in this deal. I wouldn't do it, but if the spurs want Chandler or Douglas in the deal,I'm all for it.

I think it's a good Trade for both teams. Everybody knows we (The Knicks) need a point guard. We wouldn't just be getting a great point guard , we would be getting a point guard with championship experience. The spurs would get another big. Someone who can help Duncan on the boards he can also help stretch the floor and give duncan space to work in the post.
