Parker tells the paper that the New York Knicks were his probable destination if the Spurs didn't give him an acceptable new contract. "Right now, I'm very happy with my decision," Parker said, according to the paper. "I always felt the Spurs are my family, and my first option was San Antonio, but if they didn't want to keep me, New York was definitely my first option."
The league-leading 29-4 Spurs take on the 19-14 Knicks on Tuesday night.
