The Melo Thread

[DJT]

Probably not. They are gonna need more than Melo and Lopez though, thats for sure. But I don't see how they can get anything more.

 

[RipCity32]

the four first rounders still makes me lol

Traded away their current future, as well as any future they could of had lol.

 

[Pugz]

if he doesnt agree to an extension then you know hes a knick

 

[RipCity32]

Lopez is overrated. Can't rebound for shit.

 

[DJT]

Yeah, but he can improve his rebounding I think. And he's good on the offensive end.

I think I explained the reason on the previos page...

 

[Yankees2772]

If he doesn't agree, then the trade doesn't go through from what I understand.

Why would he agree to sign long term with Brook Lopez (and nobody else, unless you count Billups who he already had) when he could go play with Amar'e, Felton, etc? Oh, and let's not mention the NJ/BK vs NY.

NY would have to strip their team down too for Melo.
I'm pretty sure Denver was asking for Felton, Gallo, and another starter.

Fields was the third one.

ive posted it recently, i think. not 100% sure i did though.

-- Felton
-- Chandler
-- Fields
-- Gallinari
-- Mozgov
-- Randolph to Minny
-- Curry to Minny
-- Minny 1st rounder to Denver



It's not that we think they're talented or irreplaceable or w/e... its that we'd have no depth or bench anymore. We'd haveto go sign a buncha scrub FA's immediately.

but boy is this a major slap in our faces if he agrees to sign the extension there. I knew James Dolan was going to fuck this up and so far it looks like it's down the shitter. Some hope left, but not a lot....

 

[DJT]

But if Melo doesn't agree to NJ, I think Denver will HAVE to trade him to the Knicks, and the Knicks won't give up Felton + Chandler + Fields + Gallo or even a combo of 2 of them. Denver is running out of time and most likely will have to take the offer the Knicks make.

Couldn't be further from the truth. And I'm not even saying that Melo will agree to sign with us.

 

[DJT]

The Knicks are not giving up Felton for sure. They probably won't give up Gallo either. Chandler probably will. Fields they will think long and hard about. Cause its either take the Knicks bare minimum offer or lose him for nothing in FAcy.

Denver would happily let him lose out on those tens of millions of dollars before taking scraps.

 

[DJT]

I'm sure Denver is more concerned about getting at least a few players and picks for him.

This morning I've come up with two possible solutions for why Anthony isn't dealt yet. It's most likely one or the other, but there's the slight possibility it's both: -- based off this below:

SO here are the two things that are going on, in my opinion:

1. The Nuggets are so pissed off at Carmelo that they are willing to run the risk of getting nothing in return and having him sign the Knicks in the offseason anyhow, just to "get back" at him.

2. The GM of the Nuggets has absolutely no idea what he is doing. Walsh said earlier "They did the same thing with the Nets, too." They ask, ask, and once both sides think they are on the same page and are getting close the Nuggets stop and say "Eh, what about a little more?". Blame Carmelo all you want, but the reason he hasn't been dealt yet falls directly on the Nuggets.

BOOM!!! Nailed that motherfucker right on he head!!!

this is the same team that had about a uh, 15x better offer back in January and wanted "more".

 

[DJT]

Yeah but a month has turned into a week, its crunch time.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Francesa just said on WFAN that Billups is telling people he will push his way off of "either NY team" and would consider joining the Heat for "minimum $$" if they considered him to be the "missing piece".

 

[Giantmetfan07]

im just sayin. I've read over the last two days that League Executives have labeled the Denver FO as "Amateur Hour" over the last few days. Wouldn't surprised me if they screwed all of this up and took their chances on there being a Franchise Tag in the new CBA.
