Great move by NJ. Utah could have gotten more IMO. The Deron/Sloan fallout made this possible.
this isn't bout deron and the knicks... deron wants to be in texas too... the knicks will do what they must to get what they need so i'm not worried or even bothered by williams being in jersey. i know the nets had to show players they r serious thats fine but the nets also showed some bitchmade behavior during the melo shit, i really can't respect that b/c it was all over the knicks not selling proky a couple million dollars in stock.
when lebron joined up in miami i was its biggest critic i'm old school and want competitive basketball so nj getting good is fine for me it keeps my team hungry... but the nets a made big trade the day we announce melo just to steal attention like a lil kid. they're continuing their pattern of bush-league behavior that nobody has ever done in the league b4 not even cuban does bush-league shit like that, hell cuban got at proky over the summer for his stunts.
if this improves the nets great bring it on but if the nets end up shooting themselves in the foot what will proky do next out of desperation?
the raising the price on melo maybe business but it was bitchmade b/c they admitted they had no shot at melo so they sacrificed an entire season on a player they had no shot at.
that doesn't scream "winning is everything".
u gotta respect utah. They knew what it was and said fuck the bullshit.
but damn I wanna know who called who.
Deron Williams???
I would have gut my team for the best PG in the league in a heart beat.
I mean Deron didn't even know about it. so obviously he didn't go to Utah and demand a trade.
Jerry might have quit coaching but anyone think they will be announcing soon he has a front office job???
I get what you are saying but in the end the Knicks could have not made the trade.
they could have said look Melo we will get you on our terms or as a free agent.
for even cheaper.
True Proky did do some Art of War shit here.
Say you would give up four picks and Devin Harris Troy murphy Favors for Melo
and end up getting the best PG in the league for Devin and Derrick Favors.
HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he really isn't happy about this trade. if he doesn't report what happens? folks close to him r saying dude is supremely pissed off right now...

"This is not a plan B," Johnson said. "It was just one that wasn't announced. One that nobody got -- until recently. He's not a plan B. He's a plan A also. We've been working on this for a while."

King said he talked to Deron Williams and he's "excited" about coming to the Nets.
whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa thanks E
So wait all that bullshit I was reading yesterday.
Proky flying him out right now.

it would be stupid for the knicks to go after williams or paul
they only need a PG who can pass and not turn the ball over.they are more in need of a big man(not dwight howard)...
silly shit utah blames him for sloan
sloan just got tired he's old he's been there forever. bad timing but i think he just was ready to stop. but now utah let players go to the bulls and now the nets its ok he doesnt have to sign an extension. rent an apt in nj for a couple months then do what he wants
you're kidding right?
if they had paul or williams then they'd have someone who could actively get their primary scorers the ball as well as be a threat to score and dominate as well. there would be no way you could stop them offensively in that system.
a bi9 man does nothing but clog up and take away space that dantoni's system is based off of
i gather he wouldn't say fuck the nets in public but i hope its true. it'll make the knicks nets game later on a good one
Damn, am I the only one that thought this was a good deal for Utah? They have a nice big man rotation, IMO.![]()

williams shoots too much to be on a team with two other ball hogs.
paul,well his career is dwindling so.....maybe
and ur bulls have done what since jordan left? they offer memphis 2nd rounders for mayo then pull back b/c he will put them over the lux tax...they want dude from houston b/c he's a cheap option....the bulls coulda had melo and last week said no to re-entering trade talks for him b/c it'll put them over the lux tax...
Hey, genius, I'm not a Bulls fan![]()
because all of the good players he had went away. if he doesn't shoot and score then they have no offense.
he doesn't need to shoot in order to be effective. he proved that in college
and if he has melo and amare to space the floor out, that jumper and his ability to drive the lane would be deadly
Knicks team president Donnie Walsh said yesterday the team will have significant 2012 salary-cap space to potentially sign a third star player.
Walsh will be correct, unless a new NBA collective bargaining agreement foils the Knicks’ plan of adding point guard Chris Paul or Deron Williams to the Carmelo Anthony/Amar’e Stoudemire show.
Walsh said Tuesday’s 12-player blockbuster trade with the Nuggets gives the Knicks flexibility heading into the 2012 season.
“We retained room for the next summer, which is the summer we wanted to retain the room for,” Walsh said.
NBA commissioner David Stern’s doomsday scenario would leave the Knicks $5 million under. But Walsh said if that happens “everybody’s going to have to go down, and $5 million could be the biggest in the league.”
@MattMitnick I realize you guys are shell-shocked right now, but there are many (Myself included) this is blessing in disguise for Deron. about 2 hours ago via web
But I am.....lol
comparing the Bulls organizations to th Knicks is like comparing apples to oranges in a sense. They can be compared to each other when it comes to being poorly ran via scouting, signing FA's, etc...but the the reasoning behind the Bulls fuck ups is because the HWIC in the Bulls organization is more so a Baseball fan than a Basktetball fan i.e. he was and still is more attentive to the Whites Soxs than the Bulls. Been like that even when Jordan was here.
But the Knicks on the other hand have been poorly ran because ...well I dont know..you tell me.
Regardless..the Bulls came into the League 20 years after the Knicks and have had wayyyy more success. I know a lot of you knicks fans are feeling yallself right now because of the Melo trade...and thats rightfully so. But be humble...yall aint been shit for more years than yall have. The Melo trade aint a success yet. Its work in progress. Yall had a shit load of defensive issues via the systems yall run and the players yall have; damn near the worse in the league; and adding a poor defensive player like Melo sure in the hell aint gonna help that situation. But you all are on yall's way to becoming something special.
Im know whats up with my team....you should know whats up with yours also.
BE HUMBLE!![]()
It was a good pick up, Knicks fans need to stop hating.
They're just upset, because their only option now at PG is Chris Paul.
I know Jerry Sloan is like damn, why did you wait so long. Can I have my job back so I get Nelson's record.
chris paul will be our only option if deron signs his extension in july.
