The Regime Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/2011/02/15/2011-02-15_carmelo_anthony_available_but_knicks_balk_at_request_for_gallinari_felton_starte.html Denver wanted Felton, Gallanari, Curry's expiring, another starter, and draft picks for Anthony and Billups. NY said no. Denver is mainly focused on NY and Chicago with Houston and Dallas as possibilities.

Clutch Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 do they want him or not, do they expect to get melo for free lol, if so just wait till he is a free agent and take the bron risk and expect him to sign, althought melo is less of a risk since he is clearly obsessed with playin at home in new york Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Felton, Gallo, starter (Chandler/Fields/Amar'e/Moz?), Curry expiring, and a 1st for Melo and an old expiring PG who doesn't fit our system? They'll hold out until the price drops or the offseason and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Just goes to show you both sides aren't close. What I want (just so we are clear): Melo and Rubio What I want to give: Randolph, Felton, Chandler, Curry, Mozgov, picks from us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 really, wanting players for a superstar player? I'm shocked. I will laugh if NY doesn't do a trade and Melo signs an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Im siding with NY on this. Felton has played at an all star level. Gallo and Chandler are enough to get this deal done, along with other pieces like expirings and draft picks. Dont gut your whole team just for Melo. Hes not going to sign an extension with anyone else and the Lakers dont want him anymore. The Nuggets arent going to get anything better from elsewhere.

You should be thanking the Knicks front office for being the trailblazer in tanking for a FA class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N/A Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 NY would be retarded not to take that deal. And surprise surprise, the Knicks front office is retarded. /He's signing that extension with the Nuggets. LOL, Knicks front office is retarded? If they're retarded how did they end up with Toney Douglas, Wilson Chandler, Landry Fields, and others in late parts of the draft who have turned into players who have produced. Yeah, Miami's front office is so smart. They signed 3 out of the top 5 picks in the 2003 draft. They really know how to draft and find players outside the box that other teams wouldn't look for. Knicks front office > Heat front office 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 ^^Not sure if serious...either of you.I don't think the Knicks ever dealt Michael Beasley for 2nd's and Donnie Walsh has made 1 bad move since coming in and at the time it was the right move for the team, it just turned out bad in long run.

We traded Beasley for 2nd's to make space for these guys: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p-z7v-UCfEg/TQw1Rhf-byI/AAAAAAAAADA/K7qUgSc3BXc/s1600/miami-heat-big-3.jpeg I think we made it out ok in that deal. The Heat also had nothing to do with this thread until you 2 brought them into it. Fact is, the Knicks front office has been a joke for the past decade, and I don't think you guys can disagree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 and if the Knicks had the same front office for the past decade that would have relevance to thread. Well this is the same front office who put all their eggs into the LBJ basket even though it was known for a good year in advance that he wasn't going there. The fact is, they should've jumped at this deal when it was on the table. Your front office is falling in love with average players that you can find throughout the league and could possibly be blowing their chance at him. You have to jump on a deal like that when its on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Knicks have a nice young core and there's no reason to go ruining it with rash movies. I'm sure Donnie is just grinding it out to see what is the best offer he can get and if he wants it he will take it. Lol yeah because everyone knew LeBron was going to Miami back in 2009, I totally forgot about. Shut up seriously, NY was a serious contender for LeBron going into 2010 FA, Miami did the same exact thing that we did so I don't see how you have any room to criticize NY for not blowing up their franchise again for 1 player.

*Swish* Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I think they're playing the hard to get to have a better offer from the Nuggets and if this doesn't work out before the trade deadline, I think the Knicks are just confident to sign him during the off season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY was never a contender like their fans thought they were. The NY media made them think they were. Anyone who was looking from the outside knew he wasn't going there. Miami was never an option until we signed both Wade and Bosh and still had enough room to sign him. Miami blew up their roster because they knew they could re-sign Wade and then sign another star in Bosh. LBJ was the icing on the cake for us. The deals that we made left us in a much better position than NY's did, that IMO is undeniable. Is it really asking that much losing players that are a dime a dozen in today's NBA in order to get a premier player? We've seen in recent years that the whole build around the young core method doesn't exactly equal a championship. Look a the Lakers, Celtics and Heat. All 3 are elite teams and their teams weren't built around a young cores that they drafted and developed. The Spurs are the exception to that rule recently. That's a great deal for you guys. We've seen how stingy Denver has been with their demands in regards to Melo and if that's all they were asking for..then you have to make the deal.

NomarFachix Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Three starters, a 1st, and a massive expiring. All good, young building blocks. "That's all"? We want to build a true contender, not an annual 2nd round exit. They will get him at a lesser price, in FA, or not at all. Why pay Denver's demands two weeks before the deadline when Melo's agent is telling all teams he won't extend there and we (seemingly) hold the best Melo poker hand in the league?

I just think missing out on a deal like that because you don't want to give up some regular NBA role players is a bad move and something that the previous regime would do.
