Knicks fans considered Melo a done deal too

The Knicks have no assets at all. The only way that he is going there is via FA.

 

[elcheato]

That's what I meant, him going there via FA. But this trade isn't gonna get done unless he signs an extension so that's a moot point. I don't know why he wouldn't accept going to the Nets to be honest. They'll be in New York soon and apparently all he cares about is being in a certain location.

Yeah I'm not a hundred percent sold on this yet

C - Brook Lopez
PF - Troy Murphy
SF - Carmelo Anthony
SG - Terrence Williams / Anthony Morrow
PG - Jordan Farmar

That's not even a playoff team IMO. They need to find a way to keep Devin Harris if they trade for Carmelo, because they're screwed at PG without him.

Wrong again. Farmar struggled in the triangle and everyone knew it. He will have a much more athletic team with many legitimate threats to dish the ball off to. He will thrive here. And on the off chance that Farmar does fail, we have T-Will who has proven himself to be an excellent facilitator on offense.

Wrong again? About what? LOL Farmar sucks, if you think he's a starting point guard on a good team you are obviously delusional.

No kidding lol.

Well they would get Augustin from Charlotte, I'd pick him over Farmar. But I'm pretty sure its not a done deal yet. I heard Denver was having 2nd thoughts about this. Which I don't know why, I think they totally win in this deal.

Charlotte would be the biggest winner in this deal. They could have Devin Harris for Boris Diaw and DJ Augustin. And they’re being stingy about Augustin when he’d play behind Harris? Diaw is someone they’ve wanted to trade for a while. Jordan managing to pull off a good trade is probably too good to be true for them.

yikes
did i really read "in the off chance Farmar does fail"

DH. dude. Farmar is so bad
he chucks, he makes bad decisions, he cant play defense, he cant hit free throws. awful. im so glad he's gone
go ahead and blame it on the triangle, but the Lakers 2nd unit didnt play the triangle. Phil just let them run wild

and lol wtf
"2 legitimate threats to dish to"
the Lakers didnt have legitimate threats?

Avery is a disciplinarian who will set Farmar straight. Phil Jackson has just been along for the ride over his coaching career.

Your second unit was trash for the most part. So Farmar did what any good player would have done, get his stats.

 

[Mexi]

well he was piss poor at stat padding
cant shoot for <Censored>. his free throws are a pain in the ass

and avery is a disciplinarian who'll set him right?
Phil Jackson is the freaking king of head cases. look at Artest this past season. not 1 mishap
Farmar is an ego maniac. his nickname amongst Laker fans is "Ego Ears"

whatever. go ahead and be delusional about Farmar.
you have to be the only NBA fan who likes him. he sucks

 

[DannyColtsBro]

DJ Mbenga > Farmar

 

[DJT]

I think Farmar is alright, and getting more playing time will only help him improve more.

I just can't see why Denver is holding out on this. Getting Favors + AK47 + at least 1 first rounder, possibly 2....thats a good deal if your rebuilding.

 

[Mexi]

he has potential to be semi-serviceable

and I agree with you about Denver. they wont see a better deal at all
do they really want Noah that bad? damn, Noah is getting so overrated. He is what he is, a very good player. he wont ever be a star. Favors on the other hand has sky high potential. and another draft pick that will be decent since the Nets arent going to be great right away, and an expiring large contract

This post from NetsDaily summarizes my recent feelings about this potential deal:

either way we're gold

with melo, we’ve completely re-tooled the roster overnight, added an alpha dog and maintain flexibility

without melo, we’ve built a young, talented core, with everyone competing for PT, established cap felxibility, and shown we’re a serious player in every major move that comes up.

happy either way
