to hear that the clips supposedly had the minny pick on the table for Gallo and the Nuggets said they want to keep him for the rest of the year really kinda pisses me off. minny's pick is top ten protected in 2011 (and they should be a lotto team this year) and unprotected in 2012 (which is exactly what the Nuggets need - chance at a possible lotto pick in a stacked draft). if the report is true, we're passing on that pick, for Gallinari. seriously?

If this is in fact the case...
Great article.
And all you N.Y. fans are happy about this? Traded a legitimate tough seven footer with actual basketball skills. Who trades away height and toughness in the NBA these days? Who trades away a young 6'9" shooter who is getting better every year? Who trades away a tough player who can come off the bench and get you 12-16 points a night? Who trades away a good, young, fast point guard for a old, slow, on his way out the NBA in 3 years point guard? This is what makes yall happy?????????? This is what yall wanted????????????? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Trade all this for a player who ain't even a top 8 player in the NBA?
Who trades away all that talent to get a player who does nothing but score, doesn't rebound his position, doesn't pass, doesn't play D, and quits on his teammates? Durant, Kobe, #6, Howard, Wade, Griffin, Paul, sure, yeah. But Carmelo????????
If Melo reaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllly wanted to play for the Knicks and a good team, he would have waited until next year and let the Knicks keep all their good young talent and deal with the fact that he wouldn't get the money he would get under the current CBA. At least he would be on a team with enough talent to compete with the Bulls, Celtics, and Heat. Hell I even put the Hawks ahead of them. But no, dude wanted his cake and eat it too, and now, now, the Knicks will be salary cap strapped for the next few years. Dumb dumb dumb dumb. Just dumb
Go ahead and roast me
You obviously don't watch any of the Knicks games. We didn't trade "allll this talent" Favors is not staying in NJ AND Melo wants to come to the Knicks but it wasn't 100% he would have came. He wanted to but was mad worried about that extension, so how in the f**k is this a dumb trade. Got rid of average and shiddy players, got a top 3 player in the league and a PG that's better than anyone we have besides Melo.

The only way they were assured of getting Carmelo Anthony was to make this trade.

to the geniuses that say we should have waited, melo never wanted to go into free agency. if he did, he would have told amare to tell donnie just to wait
he would have ended up in denver or jersey.
his agents were scaring the crap out of him.

Nuggets played this hand like Phil Ivey, and the Knicks ended up playing it like Antoine Walker.
From what I gather this is how it played out:
-Nuggets figure out that Melo isn't willing to sign the extension, and send out the word that they're willing to come to the table.
-Nets and Knicks are down to play cards.
-Hand is dealt (Carmelo is only willing to sign with NY, won't sign extension, is unhappy, etc.)
-Donnie, being the shrewd basketball mind that he is, reads the hand correctly, and is assured of his side's leverage. He makes the appropriate offer, which was his Plan A (boss is satisfied, fans are satisfied, his blueprint is upheld). Plan B would obviously be to wait and sign him in the off season, Plan C to skip Melo entirely, and wait for the next big FA class, a class that has three superior players.
-Nuggets say no thanks, and the Nets then make their offer, which is seemingly good enough for Denver, but not for Melo.
-Denver then waits till the 11th hour, and then talks to Anthony. They tell him "you scratch our back, and we'll scratch yours." He wants to go to NY, and they want assets. Word is then leaked that Melo is sitting down with Prok, and Melo tells NY that he MUST get his 65 mil from someone, although he'd prefer it from NY.
-Donnie sees bluff for what it is, Dolan (and perhaps Isiah) shockingly do not. /sarcasm
-Dolan comes to table and offers up the sun and the moon.
-Deal gets made.
What NY fans should understand is that while they are closer to being a contender now than before, they are still rather far away, and that Walsh's original plan was probably the fastest way to reaching that status.

Yeah spot on. Denver isn't no contender hell maybe not even a playoff team this year. But they played their cards the best they could and won.
