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

[ras clot 89]

Enh, I love Jamal (nh), but Chandler > Crawford for this team. Don't get me wrong I'd welcome Jamal back with open arms, but not at the cost of losing Thrilson Chandler.

edit: using my backup SN today. SPJ

At this point, the question isn't IF we'll get Carmelo, more of a question of WHEN...I think we wait till right before the trade deadline and throw them some crap like Randolph, Curry, Gallo and a pick and we keep Fields and Chandler...They have leverage on us now because they think Walsh will panic that the Nuggets would trade him to a contender where he might change his mind...If I remember correctly, Mark Cuban said early in the season that he would take Carmelo for the 2nd half of the season even if he meant he didn't sign an extension because he would be valuable enough in the playoffs and that he was confident he could convince him to stay long term

Let's hope Walsh plays it safe and waits till the last second on some eBay "bid with 10 seconds left" type stuff

 

[king x riece]

Like I said yesterday the Nuggets can have anyone they want besides Chandler, Fields, Felton, and ofcourse Amare.

 

[upptempo8387]

One more thing...Carmelo demanding this trade and saying he'll ONLY sign an extension with the Knicks actually hurts us because no man with any ego would allow that to happen as an owner...Kroenke runs the Nuggets and he's not gonna go out like a punk at mid season on some "Yes sir Mr. Carmelo sir..Whatever you say sir" by trading him to the Knicks while we're on an 8 game win streak..Plus, the Nuggets could sign and trade in the offseason the way the Knicks did with David Lee so I don't see this being as easy as NYK fans are making it out to be

Jay/ Steve you my dude but chill with that..

I think he was talking about PE's

, if you talking about PE's then

  

 

[yeeupp]

Idk if CP3 or Deron would be needed as much as we thought..

I just really want Marc Gasol..
If not then Tyson Chandler or Dalembert..
Then sign a cheap vet PG

i can't stand him but you got a point.

 

[losalmighty]

No on Tyson Chandler. I don't care if I won a championship with him on the Knicks in 2K10 (Tyson, Prince, Aflalo, Lee, and Me)

Read through the last few pages and agree with Big J, MrO and UPPTEMPO.

ESPN had me convinced signing dude in the summer meant we could have our cake and eat it too.
Now it sounds like he put us and Denver FO in a tough spot.

I think Melo is mature enough, that if he's playing in his backyard under that criticism, he's gonna rise to the occasion.
I just wish we had a center to add to this team too. Mozgov ain't it. Turiaf never healthy. Maybe we can get one at the deadline or something.

 

[pr0phecy718]

let's get Dalembert already

Camby or Dalembert?

 

[xbiker47]

I'm not poppen bottles until we officially have Melo, I'm still salty over what another FA did to us this past summer

 

[lildisciple111]

i love how the knicks were actually shown some love on sportscenter this morning

 

[pr0phecy718]

 

[stylishstef89]

I need to stay away from RealGM...I swear my blood pressure rises every time I read posts over there.

Anyways, we have to realize that as much as we like Chandler, Fields, Gallo etc. they are expendable. Chandler is one of my favorite players on the team, but a 17/6/2 SF is a very common player is this league. I would love to keep him as a 6th man, but if he has to go so be it. Fields has been a great surprise, I doubted him heavily on draft day and he's proved me wrong. Even with all that, he's still expendable. While I appreciate Gallo's heart and love for the city, I don't think he'll ever be the star some expect him to be. If we have a chance to truly turn this team around in a short period of time, we should take it. This team's ceiling is limited.

 

[duba169]

don't think fields is expendable. we need him for his rebounding and uncanny ability to always be around the ball. plus i think his defense is solid. and he's a cheap contract

i wouldn't want to move felton, amare or fields. anyone else can get moved if Necessary. (i would give them 2 players of their choice plus a pick)

 

[proshares]

It will at the very least take Gallo, Fields, Curry and either Randolph or the 1st round pick that we might get for him. You're fooling yourself or a complete backwards homer if you think Denver is entertaining anything other than that. You might even have to throw Chandler in there as well.

My stance is split on whether or not to trade for him now. On one hand, you have the trade. You give up a good amount of your rotation players to get him. You still have pieces Felton, Douglas and Amare to throw out there with Carmelo but that's 4 - 5 players being lost for one very good player. On the other hand, you have the wait until the summer approach. You are either going to get him or run the risk of him being rented by an Orlando or Dallas and him changing his mind and signing an extension in one of those places. The main question is, do you run that risk of being heartbroken again?

 

[mayhemmonkey000]

Team NYK if anyone needs an avy Gift just did a quick strike in the Week in Review thread. 

 

[xbiker47]

Im not gona lie, im gona be sad if we loose Gallo

I heard Dalembert got an attitude problem, but him over Camby. Tyson Chandler would be perfect, but Cuban is gonna throw dumb guap at dude.
