ok - if Amare can get Lebron, i'd be shocked. but go for it Amare. And how can the knicks get tony parker without trading gallo and curry?

Not sure myself, but it's certainly a rumor. Again at realgm:

The Knicks are expected to try and pry Tony Parker away from the Spurs in order to pair him with Amar'e Stoudemire.

A person close to both players told the New York Daily News that Parker and Stoudemire have talked about playing together in either New York or Miami.

"It's perfect for Tony because he wants to be in New York and he wants to play with Amar'e," said the source.

The Knicks need a point guard to play with Stoudemire, who will reportedly finalize a huge contract with New York this weekend.

New York has contacted New Orleans about Chris Paul and there are free agent options such as Raymond Felton and Luke Ridnour.

Stoudemire's camp is crossing their fingers that this means a second star will soon be in New York. "We're hoping, we'll see," said one source close to Stoudemire.

"He's coming," said another source, referring to Stoudemire. "The question is how many guys did he convince to join him?"

If we get Parker/Amare, that's about $33M in salaries for next season. Add in Gallo's $4M and Douglas' $1M (I assume Chandler would be in any Parker trade), and we're only up to $39M, enough room for one more max contract it would seem (Melo?)
