If you ask Killa Kadafi Carmelo Anthony was traded to NJ two weeks ago.
Hahhahhaaahhaa
Carmelo going to mess up his money if he doesn't get this done soon. Once the tradeline passes he stuck under the new rules of the CBA if he doesn't resign with Denver...
I just finished telling the young homies in the hood that 'Melo ISN'T going to NJ...
Why would he go to NJ???... For Money??? The money will BE there for 'Melo... I'm sure the Knicks already have a contract mapped out for 'Melo as we speak...
Lockout or not... The Knicks WILL PAY 'Melo to come to the Garden... Plain and simple.

Man dead all that just on the strength of that vid where he shout 'who' @ the reporter who lied and said he'd been traded to the Nets you know he won't signing no extension w/ them
Knicks or Bulls was always his best bet anyway.
'cue that jay z cause it's on to tha next one....'
No bullshit, but the Knicks can get around Melo not being paid during the lockout.I just finished telling the young homies in the hood that 'Melo ISN'T going to NJ...

They have a freaking Cable Company. Not a station, a whole damn Company. And the Knicks themselves have the MSG Network.
I don't think they'll be doing anything illegal if they offered Carmelo a show on MSG during a lockout. I'm sure he won't be paid the 18 mil, but he'll get something. Or maybe give Lala a TV show.
He'll make money in NY during a lockout. He could even spend the entire time doing endorsements.
Something is a lot closer to fair value than the nothing they will get if they "keep" him
Maybe this ain't about money for him but a chance to fuckin win. Has that ever crossed anyone's mind?
I kept telling the brotha that nothing was imminent. He kept saying "Melo agreed and wants to get paid" but could never post a credible source, aka 'Melo, his agent, or GMs.
All this hyperbole and unsubstantiated "reports" from journalists was not credible. I guarantee most of it was posturing started by either the Nets or Nuggets. Nuggets want Nets assets but would only get them if Melo agreed to extension. Seeing how the Nets standing offers were always the best, if Melo gave his blessings, he would have been traded months ago.
But this is a good thing for the Nets. If Favors grows into a 20/10 guy, then there is the franchise forward.
I heard on ESPN last week that Nuggets were saying it was the Nets leaking all the shit to the public kinda like a ploy to force the Nuggets' hand or @ least make them look bad like hey we doing our part but they not doing theirs
Yeah, he didn't want to leave Denver at all. Can't blame him. Melo wants to go home, and Chauncey wants to stay at home.i bet Chauncy is like.....
I agree completely. He relied way too much on heresy and guys who have proven they don't know what they're talking about (Chris Broussard). He also underestimated Melo's desire to get paid, and didn't realize also that Melo has until Jun 30th to accept the extension.
So the Nuggets could keep Carmelo the entire season, sign him to the extension, and trade him to NY. By that time NY would have renounced their free agents, and could potentially just send back a draft pick depending how far under the cap they'll be.
I swear I don't know what the big rush is anyway. The Knicks who the lead the league in scoring...........are in a frenzy to get a dude that scores? Woooooooow. Melo has all that talent around him and Denver and has one conference Finals appearance to show for it. Dude has all the championship pieces there. Scorers? Check. Defense ? Check. Point guard AND big man play? Check. With all that dude still couldn't even deliver a finals appearance.
The Knicks gonna max dude out and then so
What for a big man? The Knicks should go for a cat like Chris Kaman or even try some super shit for Dwight Howard, but the last thing a team that leads the league in scoring needs is another scorer who happens not to play
Much defense

man i don't want to rag on any Nets fans just because that Lebron saga means as a Knick fan I can relate. Best thing the nets can do is take this draft over with all those picks and get at least two top 5 players. If brook continues to suck next year trade him for another top pick as well. If you continue to do that by the time they get to brooklyn they will be the east's version of the Thunder.
Chris Kaman???...
We don't need anymore Bi-Polar mu'fuckas on our team...
'Melo fits into D'Antoni system... Especially when the Knicks go small... 'Melo is big and strong enough to play the 4 in D'Antoni's system... Like S.Marion did... 'Melo is not the defender that Marion was but... I think he can do the job and then some... Besides, we need another scorer when Amar'e is on the bench... But I do agree with you in the fact that we do need a big man... Just NOT KAMAN... We already had a Bi-Polar dude on our team( Starbury)...
And that COCKSUCKA tried to BURY US... Chris Kaman???...

I wasn't saying like dude was a huge factor but they don't need Melo. Lol@ Melo at the 4. And against which contender would that be effective? Lol@ Melo trying to guard Kg, Boozer,Gasol, Shit even Bosh.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK

when carmelo hold all the cards and aint nobody signin him until he signs long term with him....so its a wrap

Come on man. You're saying you know bball right? To start with the Knicks, they do lead the league in scoring, this is true. But have you watched the Knicks offense when Amare Stoudemire sits? I don't think you do. When he sits the Knicks tend to get lost on offense, and on that team, even though they score alot, they don't have a second player who's night in night out guaranteed.
They're scoring well, but come playoff time they can get stymied. With Carmelo you have a guy who can hit from range, mid range, run on the break, post up. He scores in so many ways and statistically one of the most clutch players in the NBA. There's no one in the east who can guard Carmelo. With Amare and Melo they'll have two potent scorers. Their defense is weak, yes. But D'Antoni doesn't coach defense. With a better defensive coach they could institute a team defense that can be effective without having really good man defenders.
As far as Denver. That team has battled injury for seasons now. Seems every season someone important is missing significant time. One thing we've seen is, when Denver is the better team, Denver wins. In that conference finals they weren't the best team, and you can remember the Conference finals?
Four out of the six games came down to the team that won the fourth quarter. The Nuggets big men barely showed up in that series, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom were too much for them up front.
You can't hold it against Carmelo that the Nuggets didn't beat the Lakers. I don't understand where you get championship pieces from. Kenyon Martin was never a championship piece and is over paid, Chris Andersen is a decent role player, JR Smith is a headcase, Dahntay Jones never played for a contender, then you have Linas Kleiza.
Who's left? Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony. The Lakers starting five of
Fish
Kobe
Ariza
Gasol
Bynum
and Odom as the sixth man was simply better than
Billups
Jones
Melo
Martin
Nene
and JR Smith as sixth man.
And then Chris Kaman. Maaaaaaaan. You gotta be kidding me. Chris Kaman is not a good defender. He's just tall. He's slow, not athletic, and overpaid. 3 of his last four seasons he's spent a good deal of time being injured, and he lost his starting job to DeAundre Jordan in LAC, a rookie selected in the second round. Not to mention he doesn't even fit the Knicks playing style at all.
As far as Dwight? That's a pipe dream right now. The last thing the Knicks should be doing is holding off another year for a superstar when they could potentially land one now. Then do you think Dwight Howard would fit alongside Amare? What the Knicks need to do is get who they can get now - Melo, and hire a coach specifically to teach them a team defense.
It can't be about winning because Denver is currently better than the Knicks and Nets. Melo has a better chance of winning out West than in the east with Miami, Boston, Orlando, Chicago in the way. They were in the WCF a few years ago. All you got are two aging teams in the Spurs and Lakers in the West to really contend with. Denver is on par with Oak City and Utah...
the number 15 is retired.
