I don't believe Melo to the Bobcats for one second even though that trade would be beneficial to us because no way in hell would he sign an extension there, but anyway the Knicks should have kept these joints

 

[sirius lee handsome]

great photo

i hope these two can keep it up (nh) throughout the year and not get hurt in any way

 

[yeeupp]

Felton and Amare is not a bad duo.. Feltons playing better than everyone expected

Just sayin...

Source: Melo Prefers Knicks, Not Interested In Nets

Dec 11, 2010 2:42 PM EST

A source close to Carmelo Anthony told Yahoo! Sports that the All-Star forward's preference is to be traded to the Knicks and he remains uninterested in playing for the Nets.

[h2]ESPN picks up Knicks-Celts on Wednesday[/h2]
Five of New York’s next 11 games will be nationally televised.

Dec. 15 vs. BOS (ESPN)

Dec. 17 vs. MIA (ESPN)

Dec. 25 vs. CHI (ESPN)

Dec. 30 at ORL (TNT)

Jan. 7 at PHX (ESPN)



Things like this happen when the team in the country’s largest media market tastes relevance. The national media jumps all over it. This upcoming homestand is starting to garner some attention.

Now, it’s up to the Knicks to take their act into the national spotlight — and come through.


So that's that...

^ Whats this i hear about Michael Jordan LEADING talks to acquiring Melo?

 

[gregzzy23]

Melo to the Bobcats would be ideal IMO. He obv wouldn't re-sign there and we get to keep everybody. I'd haaaate to lose Gallo or Chandler. Loving the squad right now.

Amare

I hope he keeps it up.. I hope ya'll get Melo as i already did in my 2k11

 

[yeeupp]

I can't even predict what our lineup would be like cuz idk who would be traded or anythin..

When Knick games are shown on ESPN, are they blacked out cause of MSG?

Just askin' cause the Heat/Knicks game is going to be on ESPN 3D, so I want to catch that at home.

 

[mrdozo]

Anybody in NYC going to see Melo at HOH today? It sucks he'll be there for less than 1 hour. Knicks basketball hasn't been this fun to watch since the 90's. Feels good.

I remember last national game we had it was on both. So you could just flip back between homer vision and biased bull $@%@.

talks of OJ to NY??

 

[duba169]

Thats an old promo shot. they changed the border color order...

 

[mronegative]

If we assume a $60 million salary cap for next year...

Amar'e 18.2

Melo 18.5

Felton 7.5

Turiaf 4.4 (player option/we might be able to work out years for less per)

Mozgov 2.6                    

We'd have at most $8.8 million left in cap space if we traded for Melo. It'd depend on who besides ^ was still here.

5.5 OJ Mayo

5.1 Hasheem Thabeet

4.2 Gallo

~4 Azubuike (qualifying)

3.1 Chandler (qualifying)

2.9 Randolph

2.6 Rubio 

1.1 Toney Douglas

~1 Shawne Williams (qualifying)
900k Bill Walker (qualifying)
800k Rautins

800k Fields

We're gonna have a cap-lock on our 1st round draft pick too (~$1.5 million). If we can get Melo by trade, even though we'll spend more on him and lose assets, I'm pretty sure we'll use up our capspace for next year and have the MLE to sign players with, 5 years/$30 million to split up.

If we sign Melo as a free agent instead, we'd have $17.3 million to do so (-1st rounder cap hold) with Gallo, Randolph, Douglas, Fields and either Williams or Walker still on the roster. We might be able to re-sign either Azubuike, Chandler or others, depending on what the new CBA lowers Melo's salary to. And if this Melo thing doesn't happen, we gotta move on:

Free Agents

point guards

Delonte West

TJ Ford

Sebastian Telfair

Ronnie Price

Luther Head

shooting guards

Jamal Crawford

Ja$on Richardson

Leandro Barbosa (Player Option)

Von Wafer

Anthony Parker

DeShawn Stevenson

JR Smith

small forwards

Corey Brewer (R)

Mikael Pietrus (Player Option)

Tracy...McGrady (is he the NBA's Randy Moss?)

Mo Peterson

power forwards

Jeff Green

Carl Landry

Reggie Evans

Chuck Hayes

Jeffries....

centers

Marc Gasol (R)

Tyson Chandler

Earl Barron

Samuel Dalembert

Nazr Mohammed

Shelden Williams

Theo Ratliff

Alexis Ajinca

Joel Pryzbilla

Kwa... 

Old $*! Centers of Miami

I think these are the puzzle pieces we know about, unless Jerome Jordan is ready out of nowhere. And then there's the  20 different trades that could come outta nowhere.

If that 'trade' that's in the air is real, our team would be

Amar'e, Melo, Felton, Fields, Mayo, Thabeet, Turiaf, Mozgov, Azubuike, Williams, Walker, Rautins, maybe Douglas and whoever we sign from ^ with the MLE.

Feel the same, IF this were to happen. It doesn't even make sense.
