They don't want Jabari I don't think.
NBA trade rumors: Knicks landing Bucks' Jabari Parker in Carmelo Anthony blockbuster?
Now this would be the type of trade that could excite Knicks fans.
With seemingly no traction on a potential Carmelo Anthony trade with the Houston Rockets, rumors of a third team to facilitate a transaction have been rampant this summer.
According to a report from ESPN, the Milwaukee Bucks have been on the outskirts of the conversation and looming as a potential trade partner--with young star Jabari Parker potentially in the mix to head back to New York.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported last month that Houston was looking for a third team to make a trade work. The Milwaukee Bucks emerged as a potential third team at one point, per league sources, but there was no traction toward a deal. Milwaukee has been trying to shed salary so, in all likelihood, the idea of taking back the remaining money on Ryan Anderson's contract (three years, $60 million) in a trade wasn't enticing.
One name that came up in those (very) preliminary talks? Bucks forward Jabari Parker, per league sources.
The report didn't declare if the Knicks asked for Parker or the Bucks wanted to shop the young forward, but either would be a boon to a potential return for Anthony.
It's unclear which side -- the Knicks or Bucks -- brought up Parker's name. What is clear is that Parker would have been part of an outgoing package that included a larger Bucks contract, such as John Henson's or Greg Monroe's. If that deal had come to fruition, the Knicks would have received the type of return they'd long hoped for in an Anthony trade: a young player on a below-market contract in Parker.
Parker, 22, has developed into one of the better young wings in the league. Last season, Parker averaged 20.1 points per game on 49 percent shooting from the field. Injuries--specifically knee issues--have curtailed what would have already likely been a career with an All-Star Game appearance.
The Los Angeles Lakers could land both LeBron James and Russell Westbrook in the summer of 2018.
Parker is under team control through the 2018-19 season.
If the Knicks landed Parker in a three-team deal with the Rockets, a young core of Kristaps Porzingis, Frank Ntilikina and Parker could form the nucleus of a rising team in New York.
