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

    If Melo were to agree to sign a extension with the Nets. I would be as shocked as the first time I heard LeBron would join the Heat.

      They still have like 7 or 8 assets.
      And this is where we disagree...again.

        Just thinking about it. If after the new CBA there is still a soft cap the Nets long term may be better than the Knicks for Melo. First you can sign now and get the big contract because thats definitely changing next year. That would mean 1.5 or 2.5 season(can't remember) before moving to Brooklyn. And most importantly a guy like Jay-Z to recuirt and a majority owner with the Pacific ocean for pocket who isn't afaird to spend.
        You looking at the Chair MAN!

        Number may not tell the whole story ,but they never lie either.

          Be a cocky NYer(like most of ya'll are)and just state the obvious man LOL.
          I'm not being cocky... lol far from it. And the Knicks have the money. They will move Chandler and trade Turiaf away.

          EDIT: And just for the record, I have stated numerous times that I don't think he is coming here and have said plenty of times all along that he would end up a Knick. So before folks go and start saying, I'm being a homer or whatever, go back and read all my posts in here.
          You're not being a homer at all. I don't think anyone thinks that. They just don't agree with your stance, such as this. Why on earth would NJ blow up their team to rent Carmelo Anthony? Get rid of Harris and Favors for an aging Rip and a player who has openly said he would look for a buyout (Billups)?

            Let's see

            Billups, KMart expiring, JR Smith, Lawson, Harrington, Afflalo, Nene, Andersen

            Those guys are all talented and to me are considered assets.

            The franchise suicide thing is way off base.

              Woah now, Pack, you know I like seeing your opinion on things, respect you as a poster and more often than not agree with your take on things. That being said, maybe I'm just having a blonde moment and misreading what you're saying, but aren't you the one that's spent like the last month telling us that there is no way that Nets would trade for Melo or even still be in talks if they didn't know he would be signed? Now you're saying we're giving them too much credit if we think they wouldn't trade for him for a rental?

              BUT

              Feeling the energy that the Knicks have brought this season is a widely known phenomenon.

              I mean you can't watch a "big" game and tell me you're not pumped.

              Before the season started I would have definitely been on board with you, but after seeing how the fans have embraced the team... It's difficult to tell me that Melo would not see this as well and do all he could to come to NY. It would be an event every regular season game no matter who they were playing.
              Don't get me wrong I feel what you're talking about on that, I just think for as special a feeling as that might be having a pumped Garden every night (provided you're good and they aren't still waiting for a ring) I don't think it can top that moment when you go in and drop 30+ and whatnot. It's pretty special either way really, but definitely a lot more special feeling when it's not everyday you get to do it.

                Because that is how desparate they(Russians)are right now.

                I agree that it makes absolutely no sense to do that...but after seeing how this franchise has operated in the last few months, it would not surprise me in the least bit. I've said all along that if this doesn't get done and we struggle again next year, King would be made the scapegoat because he has no say in this otherwise if he did, he would've stopped chasing him back in September.

                This team is Des-pa-rate. As in Tyrone Biggums desparate. Pookie from New Jack City desparate. Marion Barry desparate.

                  Those guys are all talented and to me are considered assets.

                  The franchise suicide thing is way off base.
                  Never said they weren't talented.

                  But if you believe that squad is good enough to keep them competitive post-Melo, then you can go ahead and believe that.

                    WTH?

                    When did I say that though?

                    I said if Melo leaves, it's in no way franchise suicide. I'm not sure how you interpreted that as me saying "they would be competitive without Melo".

                    All I said was Denver has a lot of assets and some young talent in Smith, Lawson and Afflalo. Netting Derrick freakin Favors or Devin Harris and a few picks doesn't exactly scream "we must trade Melo now!"

                    They wouldn't be in the hunt for a ring, but they would certainly have some players remaining.

                      Least they wouldn't be the Cavs though.

That being said, maybe I'm just having a blonde moment and misreading what you're saying, but aren't you the one that's spent like the last month telling us that there is no way that Nets would trade for Melo or even still be in talks if they didn't know he would be signed? Now you're saying we're giving them too much credit if we think they wouldn't trade for him for a rental?
                        Yup I did say that. No denying that.

                        But once word got out that Prokhorov would even just "consider" taking him for a rental, any respect I had for this franchise starting dropping very quickly.

                        The fact that you(not you specifically, talking about Prokhorov)would even say "Consider", "Melo", and "Rental" in the same sentence shows how desparate you are at this point.

                          Also think Smith would be FA after this year too.

First you can sign now and get the big contract because thats definitely changing next year. That would mean 1.5 or 2.5 season(can't remember) before moving to Brooklyn. And most importantly a guy like Jay-Z to recuirt and a majority owner with the Pacific ocean for pocket who isn't afaird to spend.
                            Jay-Z recruiting is meaningless, and the Knicks have always been willing to spend whatever it takes as well.

                              Prokhorov can have all the money in the world but unfortunately for him, this ain't Baseball where he can just spend as much as he pleases and not have any consequences so that(and the Jay-Z "recruitment stuff")is pointless.

                                It wouldn't make me happy, I just disagreed with you on it PP

                                As far as Smith, yes he is a FA, and thus an "asset"

                                That's all I was saying. They have several assets to either trade away or keep.
