**Official '11 NYK LOCKOUT thread*** lockout over

how much money could he lose out?....I dont think the reduction will be 2 drastic, I know its up in the air but its not like max contracts r gonna be cut in half.
 
If Melo goes to New Jersey, watch Chris Paul follow him there by 2012. Guaranteed.

Walsh will not get an extension and a lot of heads will turn. All we had to do was give up Gallo, Fields and Chandler and we act like they're the second coming of some dream team filled with role players. SMH at all of this.

If Melo agrees to the deal it only means he really wanted the money and be in the NY media. He never wanted to win. At least LeBron went to Miami to win. This dude Melo will take a bigger Image hit.

Mozgov, Amare, Carmelo, Bill Walker and Billups (who may want to be bought out)/ Toney Douglas

Sounds like a winning team if I've ever seen one. And going into next season, no draft picks. Sounds fun.

Don't fall into the desperation.
 
Source tells Newsday Knicks reluctance to include Danilo Gallinari in talks with Denver is hang-up in deal for Carmelo.

Good news for me. I think imma cry if my fave current knick, Gallo, leaves. Just include chandler, douglas, curry, AR, roger mason and lets call it a day

You seem to be confused or not paying attention. Why do you think we would get Melo if all we had to do is give up those 3 guys? If we agreed to that deal Melo would say they also want Felton and Mozgove. We agree to that they ask for 3 1st round picks. We agree to that and then they say we have to take Harrington, Billups, and Birdman. We agree to that and then they start talking with the Nets again cuz they never wanted to trade with us from the jump.

We have to wait near the deadline when nobody else is entertaining the crazy requests from Denver and Melo declines in extending with the Nets. Then we'll have all the leverage and make the best deal or the still won't trade with us and we'll get Melo in FA.

Also, the Nets deal wouldn't leave them with enough cap space to get CP3 for the max contract he'll want.

%$#@ him man he ain't nothing that should hold up a deal for Melo. Knicks need to stop overating him like he's Dirk or some $&%#

son is a okay player that's it
 
Dude just said he never spoke to NJ or prokrorov and doesn't plan to. Then he said he could end this drama and go take Denver's extension I take it as a shot at the Knicks cause they are playing games if they are making Gallo untouchable

Melo's really starting to irk me. Either take the extension with Denver, agree to go to NJ or tell the Nuggets FO that it's Knicks or nothing. Seriously. Seems like dude likes the attention and just milking it at this point.
 
Lebron had nothing to lose by going to the Heat..He went from Cleveland, one of the lamest "major" cities in America, to Miami, a major city that is considered one of America's most exotic places..Plus, he already had like 10 endorsements under his belt by then so he wasn't losing any cash...Carmelo wouldn't get any positive improvements added to his reputation by playing in New Jersey aka America's Armpit

Edit: Also, Lebron was making history by pairing with Wade and creating one of the best duos in NBA HISTORY..Lopez and Melo wouldn't even fall into the top 10 duos in the league
 
yeah you gotta be forthright and not string people along

enough is enough

it's seems as if he wants to create a bidding war of sorts so as to not miss out on that extension money

options are running out for both him and denver

yeah, *$#@ gallinari. knicks won't be missing much if he ends up being traded. if he in any way is holding up any trade because he's the teacher's pet, then he's gonna end up hurting himself in the long run because he's not carrying any team. dude's can be easily replaced

Here we go again.
does he really think any one will go to NJ just because he's there? Brook is averaging 5 rebounds a game. he can rot there if he is seriously considering this.
 
I think some of you guys are underestimating Melo's intelligence...You don't think he's trying to play mind games with the Knicks also? He knows the Knicks feel they can get him in the summer if he doesn't get traded and he WANTS that money. We're judging the man saying that "money shouldn't be an issue" yet nobody in this thread would give up that kinda cash for no reason..He knows if he says he would sign with the Nets if offered it will make the Knicks nervous enough to make a deal happen ASAP.
 
LOL Melo just lost all his leverage if he actually said that if the Knicks don't deal for him he will goto NJ. The nuggets wont deal with the Knicks unless they absolutely have to. Dummy

Word if he said that then this can backfire. We all know he dont wanna go to NJ.

If he did he would of been in NJ in September or October, or November, or December or last month or yesterday when deals were reportedly finalizing.

Who's to say CP3 wants to play in NJ? if thats the case Melo would be in NJ already.. another thing.. Amare is in NY

I asked Melo why not use extension to force trade, he said he didn't want to do it like that. Also said he didn't want to be a rental. less than 5 seconds ago via Twitter for BlackBerry[emoji]174[/emoji]

[h3]Carmelo Unlikely To Sign Off On Nets Deal As Long As Knicks Are In Race[/h3]
Feb 18, 2011 15:20 PM EST

Anthony_Carmelo_den_091203.jpg


A person involved in the Carmelo Anthony trade saga told Alan Hahn of Newsday that there is still skepticism that the forward will sign off on a deal with the Nets as long as the Knicks are still in the game before the Feb. 24 trade deadline.

The Nets and Nuggets have reached an agreement on a trade that will land Carmelo Anthony in a nine-player deal, according to The Bergen Record. The swap is contingent on Anthony agreeing to a three-year, $65 million extension with New Jersey.

A source with knowledge of the situation told Newsday that Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov and hip hop star Jay-Z, who owns a minor stake in the team, are looking to meet with Anthony today in Los Angeles to sell him on making the commitment to the Nets.

Another source said the Knicks will not bow out without making at least one more attempt at acquiring Anthony before the trade deadline.
