Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
Looks like the Nets arn't trading lopez:
*sigh of relief*
One is under contract and the other wasn't at the time and one(I'm assuming hasn't been planning this out)while the other one had their mind made up from the beginning.#RespectTheCultureComment

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
While trying to insinuate that James was hamstringing the front office. Also tried to paint him in a certain shade, not a positive one. There was no reason for LBJ to ask for a trade. His team looked just as dominant as any other team in the conference. It's not hard to build around James anyway, LOL. Apparently Ferry and company couldn't figure it out when his best Robin in Cleveland was Larry Hughes and Mo Williams.
You were also trying to insinuate that Melo is doing his organization better by trying to get out of his contract. I personally wouldn't go that far, I see it more towards the side of he quit.
Bottom line I really don't see anything that wrong with what Melo is doing, if he knows he's going to leave so be it and at least Denver can begin looking now.
However there's no way in hell I'm about to give him any credit for doing this if in fact he has privately asked for a trade.Comment

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
jeebs9 asked what's the difference between the situations (as if he doesn't believe there's much of a difference). Why are you arguing with someone who agrees with you that they aren't really similar? I think there are many reasons they aren't the same (people are still posting legit opinions on it)... no need to sweat the details.
Not how I read it, and the guy I was responding to was clearly saying he was "holding CLE hostage" in a sense... something I didn't agree with.Comment

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
I see players who want to win now. And are willing to make any changes to win. Or at least be given the chances to make it to the game (finals). In my opinion they are exactly the same if you cutaway from the BS (contracts, trades demands and etc) Samething goes for CP3..Or better yet..even when Kobe wanted out of LA back then. Its the samething. Players who want to win in their prime.Hands Down....Man Down - 2k9 memories

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
How do you know LeBron had his mind made up? I think you been effected by all those blog and column stories.

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
Kobe out of the three is the worst offender.
LeBron at least played out his contract and never ever even privately asked for a trade. He did his duty and gave 100% all season outside of those last few games in the playoffs where he shut it down for some reason.
Melo is clearly in-between both of these guys in terms of not really asking for a trade, but at the same time pretty much initiating things behind the scenes reportedly at least.
Melo to LeBron comparison just doesn't make any sense in this regard.
Lastly, how does this make Melo fit the "I want to win now" mold? LMAO. Same with Kobe. Kobe wanted to leave because he felt lied to by Mitch and Jerry.Comment

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
As for the other part, you're both on the same side of disagreeing with jeebs9... no need to argue the details to the extent of turning this into yet another Lebron thread. Unless you haven't already made the same points in one of the many Lebron threads (not likely).
I'm not following.

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
Otherwise, do the classy thing like Lebron did and honor your contract unless something egregious happens (like you sign a contract and then on December 15th are traded to New Jersey or Milwaukee or something).Comment

Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga
I have yet to met or know a player who doesnt want to win "now" ... do you know of someone specific ? ... the reality might make them more modest, the extend in each player may vary but the dessire and expectation to win is always there to all.
Then again, the situations are "completly" different even without touching the "which one is worse".
Some are/were Free Agents and others are/were "under contract", be it in a multi year deal or with an opt out clause or in a 1 year deal.
All sort of factors incide in each case (legal, moral, power, chemestry, personality, media, team context) and affect differently, making each one differently.Last edited by ffaacc03; 09-02-2010, 03:39 PM.Comment
