Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
No way I trade Gallo and Randolph. You do that, and you have no young talent, no cap space, no good picks, and a middle of the pack playoff team for years to come.Originally posted by Jay BilasThe question isn't whether UConn belongs with the elites, but over the last 20 years, whether the rest of the college basketball elite belongs with UConnComment

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
Yes, both (Galo & Randolph) are talented but so is Melo ... yes, both are young but so is Melo ... yes, the capspace would be no more but so is as of now ... yes, they will not be a certaintly relevant playoffs team but so they arent one for sure as of now ... then, Melo has a huge gap over those two combined in marketing and potential ticket & merchandise sales and media cover revenues ... also add the appealing effect that will have on other relevant future FAs of joining a combo of Amare & Melo (I am looking at you 2012 Paul).
For a guy like Melo (with all his weaknesses), that pack is worth it and even then, being honest, DEN should have got more thus I believe at this point, they wont.Comment

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
If I was the Knicks, and Denver wanted those guys, Gallo and Randolph would be on the first plane to Denver.I have more respect for a man who let's me know where he stands, even if he's wrong. Than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil. - Malcolm XComment

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
I have a hard time believing AR will ever be anything more than a guy with great athleticism who shows flashes. He has such a poor IQ and that is really, really tough for a lot of players to develop. For the most part you either have it or you don't. I would never let a player like AR keep me from acquiring a Melo-level player. Gallo has a solid upside but again, we're talking about Carmelo Anthony here. A lot of Boston fans didn't want them to trade Al Jefferson for KG - we all know how that turned out. And Jefferson was a better player then than either Gallo or AR currently are.
If we get Melo while shipping out AR & Gallo that means when CP3 becomes an FA the only guys we'll have on the books would be Amare, Melo and Mozgov. Yes please! Miami proved that quality vets/role players will take less to play with a great core. Granted CP3 will have to take less than the max if we have Amare/CP3/Melo then we don't really care about draft picks or having a ton of cap space - or young "could be good" players like Gallo & AR.Last edited by ehh; 10-20-2010, 10:55 AM."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
I dunno ehh, I think that's the exception, not the rule. Expecting guys to start taking big paycuts to chase rings is a little ridiculous. Part of the equation of guys doing it for Miami is the idea of being part of something unique, that's being done for the first time. Expecting guys to start passing up chances for one last big payday to play with capbusting super teams is asking for disappointment imo.Comment
