    Re: The Carmelo Anthony (NY or Bust?) Thread

    As shaky as Bynum is, the Lakers still can't afford to lose him for nothing. Maybe the Lakers are thinking, rent Melo for a year and win a title. I hope not. With Kobe looking older and older each game, the Lakers can't screw with the future.

      ^^Exactly^^

      And also I just don't see how they can keep Artest (or even want to keep him at this point). Melo can play about 38 to the whole in minutes. I don't see a great defender like Artest coming off the bench. Unless they are putting Theo at center and Gasol stays at the 4. And Artest just comes off the bench.

      But guys... I don't like this move for the Lakers. They lose a lot of defense regardless. Centers are a dime dozen.

      By the way Jason love your avatar caption.

        NY doesn't HAVE to trade for Melo

        and if Melo does go to LA im not watching the NBA and would hope for it to lockout in a huge fail

          No they don't obviously but Melo seems to really want that extension with NY. NY would also like to get a trade done. If they have to wait to the end of the season there are too many variables that would limit their offer to Melo (and they might need to let go of players for more cap space).

          This rumour was put out after the recent Melo to NY rumour to try and make NY up their offer for Melo (which was terrible). The Nuggets are stuck, so they are trying to drum up enough interest from other teams to 'scare' NY to up their offer.

          IMO, no way he's going to LA for Bynum.

            Why is everybody going to boycott the NBA if Melo goes to the Lakers? Trust me, I don't want to see it myself BUT you guys still watch the NBA even after LeBron decided to pair himself with Bosh and Wade to form the super team?

            And it's not like Melo is in control of his own fate here, so I hope Melo doesn't get any repercussions for this event if it happens to go down.

              This is getting on my nerves man. The Miami Heat aint no freakin super team.

              They haven't won jack and they definitely aint touching the Bulls 72-10 record so this super Bull aint nothing but freaking talk. Super team with freaking Joel Anthony 21 minutes 0 boards 0 rebounds and 0 points

              I dont care what Wade and Bron are, if your team has no balance you aint winning nothing in the NBA.

              ...and Its Denver's own fault for waiting this long trying to make a move, now they've been reduced to idiotic tactics. It would serve them well if NY calls their bluff because either way they're going to get someone to play alongside Amare

                Well at this point Denver is going to make a deal with somebody. No way in hell they just let him walk at the end of the season without getting something in return. Why he hasn't been traded to the Knicks by now, I don't know.

                  Man I hear this same crap every year. It peaked when LA radio hosts Mychal Thompson and Vic Jacobs, got on the air giggling for 3 hours as if they had insider proof that KG signed with LA and no im not joking.

                  Honestly man, im not really into the rumor mill talk but this is getting old already, im pretty sure Denver will let some news slip in the papers of how he was a malcontent when he does leave to justify their crap to the fans.

                    I think it's mostly that people are just sick of the Lakers and definitely sick of them getting gift wrapped players like this. Plus it's just frustrating as fans of other teams to watch the dominos always fall perfectly for one team. As Bulls fans we had to wait about a decade to see our next superstar after MJ. Cleveland is going through hell right now that they will probably be in for a while. The Nuggets are about to go through hell after they're superstar and yet for the Lakers it took all of five years before they landed Shaq AND Kobe and found they're way back to greatness after Magic. It took all of three years after the Kobe/Shaq era for the Lakers to find they're way right back to the top with a giftwrapped Gasol and now if this were to go down, they wouldn't even miss a beat when Kobe's done cause they'd have Melo ready to take over the reigns of LA.

                    Even worse is probably the fact that the Lakers have probably the worst, most annoying, obnoxious group of bandwagon fans of every team in sports. Yeah, I know every team has bandwagoners who are annoying but somehow, the ****ing Lakers manage to dominate that **** too. It's just extremely frustrating.

                      Mike Francesca reported Mark Cuban would take Anthony even if he doesn't sign the extension. He's willing to take the risk and rent him for the playoffs.

                          The Bynum for Melo stuff is a leak from Denver to get the Knicks to up the ante. Nice try Ujiri

                              Like someone said, it's just to get the Knicks to sweeten their deal. Melo will be a Knick before the month is out.

                                Exactly. I want this to happen for a couple of reasons. 1) I want to go back to the Lakers being the most hated. The Heat took that crown from us this yr and I want it back. 2) We have to start planning for the post Kobe era and Bynum isnt capable of staying healthy for long enough for that to happen. 3) LA is one of the few places Melo said he would be willing to go AND Kobe and him are good friends. Good likelihood he signs an extension with us.

                                Get it done Mitch!
