How did the Knicks get shafted when they had nothing to offer? Anyway, I would hold off till he is actually traded. The more teams there are involved in a trade, the more complex they are. The more complex a trade is, the more likely it is to fall apart because one team won't offer an additional player.

If he agrees to sign an extension, then it's pretty much a done deal.

And how exactly did the Knicks get shafted? Reports came out earlier this week that said they weren't being agressive at all in the pursuit of Carmelo.

I'm not too happy about this if it means NJ looses both Harris and Favors.

I've seen some reports that the Nets want DJ whatever, which could be a deal breaker when there are so many moving parts.

Melo will attract other talents to join the Nets. I just have hard time believing this is happening though.

"The Nets want DJ Augustin as part of package, but two sources in process say it won't be a deal-breaker to keep them from getting 'Melo."

The Nets have a solid foundation with Brook Lopez and with a great coach in Avery Johnson and an owner who will do great things for the Nets in Mikail Prokhorov. I wouldn't be surprised if they have an Oklahoma City Thunder turnaround in a couple of years.

Yeah, but in the mean time probably no playoffs for him. Scoring title sure, but not much more.

Thats nice. However, it's hard to become a "celebrity in a big city" when you Husband's team is going on a 10 game losing streak. Melo should only sign an extension with a team that he see has a reasonable chance at winning a championship in the next 2-3 years.

I would imagine the goal for the Nets in making the move is getting Chris Paul in 2 years if he's healthy heading into Brooklyn and a newarena.Melo , WorldWideWess , and the Russian Mafia will hatch the plan the day Melo signs.

  • Chris Paul
  • X
  • Carmelo Anthony
  • x
  • Brook Lopez

Blueprint for greatness. 8)

In the meantime we can all enjoy watching Brook and T.Will grow as players , watch Morrow shoot the lights out , and watch the Little General explain what defense is to Melo. Should be good times.

What's going to get in the way to stop them? Loyalty and Trevor Ariza? Amare and the Mecca? Miami for the vet minimum? If WorldWideWess gets Melo to New Jersey , and he wants Paul inBrooklyn , it will be so.

Andthey will probably get him DISCOUNTED. HOLLAH! PURPLE DRANK!

If the Nets somehow pull this off and get Carmello... they absolutely become the front runner for where CP3 wants to go. These guys are best friends for one and want to play together... and like already stated the Nets have a decent foundation of young talent that could blend around the 3 stars. Plus the whole going to Brooklyn, JayZ, new Russian owner and Avery Johnson will have players looking at the Nets in a whole new light. Like someone already said the Nets could be following in the footsteps of what the Thunder have done and go from bad to good in a very short span. The Nuggets seem to be a team in disarray with their management from what you read and will quickly go from a playoff caliber team to lottery caliber team. It's basically one of the main reasons Carmello doesn't want to extend his contract in Denver. He can see the problems on the horizon.

He certainly has a bright future. He will be a multiple All-Star, mark my words. He is an excellent ball handler, his defense is improving, and Billups is an excellent mentor for such a young Point Guard.

The fact that no one of that caliber would go to the Nets when all they have is Melo and Brook. What is far more likely is that he sees his option, this is assuming he becomes a free agent, and decides to go to the Magics. They are actually established. They have a better overall team, and a MUCH better center.

I don't see him becoming a multiple all star. He's quick, has good handles but he's very indecisive with the ball, he's not a great passer and he's inconsistent. He'll be like Jordan Farmar and be a good role player

Indecisiveness and passing ability comes with time. Look no further then Rondo for proof that with experience comes leadership and consistency.

I'm starting to wonder if this deal is going to fall apart. It seems the Nuggets are using this proposed deal to try and see what better offers they can field from teams like the Bulls and Clippers.... and the other teams already involved like the Nets, Jazz and Bobcats are losing patience and might just bail on it.

They already know what they can get from the Bulls though, which is everything but Rose & Noah. I don't see the Clippers as an option, because I really don't see Denver trading their franchise player within their own conference.
