Knicks say "getdafugoutttaheay"

Posted by Royce Young

According to the New York Daily News, a deal was on the table between the Knicks and Nuggets, but New York turned it down. The Knicks would've received Carmelo Anthony while they were sending Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Eddy Curry and at least one first-round pick.

Donnie Walsh and Mike D'Antoni both agreed that was too steep a price to pay. Also headed to New York in that deal was Chauncey Billups, but that really didn't sweeten the pot for New York.

The Knicks were wise to rebuff the Nuggets on that deal. Giving up Gallinari, Felton, a first-rounder and Curry's corpse is a bit much when they know they can get Melo anyway. I do think if you swapped Wilson Chandler in for Gallinari and took Felton and Billups out of the deal, this thing would get done. That appears to be more of a realistic trade that the Knicks would agree to. The Nuggets wouldn't be happy, but that's the way it is.

Also in the report is that the Nuggets are most interested in making a deal with either New York or Chicago. The Rockets and Mavericks are in the discussion, but those are long shots. And of course the Nuggets could call back the Nets, but that's probably going nowhere.

The Knicks are running a small risk here if they don't go ahead and reel in Carmelo. First, Anthony might decide he doesn't want to lose money in free agency. Ken Berger wrote yesterday, "Under the owners' proposal, Anthony would only be eligible for a four-year, $47 million deal with New York as an unrestricted free agent." That's almost $20 million. That's a lot.

And Marc Stein of ESPN tweeted that the Nuggets might try and keep Anthony because of the potential for a franchise tag rule in the new CBA.
So there's definitely cause for the Knicks to act sooner than later. There's a lot of posturing going on and it's hard to know what's going on, but I firmly believe Carmelo Anthony will be a New York Knick come Feb. 25. It's just going to take a better deal than this one.

The knicks are idiots. Holding on to role players isn't that smart. They better pray melo doesn't change his mind.

melo isnt leaving that money on the table

knicks have to get a trade done

 

[daman200]

I wouldnt trade felton either!!

Knicks should trade Gallari,Curry,Chandler and 1st rounder to Nuggets for Carmelo and Ty Lawson

But i doubt the nuggets would do that deal. Nuggets are stupid i would done the deal with Nets much more value back.

You need draft picks and younger players if your the nuggets
get anthony randolph,Gallari, curry contract and a 1st rounder and call it a day......Hell get another team involved

Just get the DEAL done already DAMN!!

 

[Mr. Met]

Can't trade Felton.

That was too much.

Denver needs to realize that no deal will give them an equal return.

Plus a disgruntled Melo won't get them past the Lakers.

Just get the deal done.

 

[conspiracy Bro]

I still say the Knicks are gonna end up taking back a bad contract to keep a starter.

 

[gumbottoms]

The Nets pulled out of that deal. Because they couldnt get a gurantee of Melo signing with them.

 

[yasky777]

Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Eddy Curry and at least one first-round pick.

Take off Ray add another draft pick and deal is done.

 

[massdagod]

So in a Nutshell, Nuggets want:

Felton
Gallo
Fields
Curry's Expiring
and a 1st Round Pick


for Carmelo







Im Glad the Knicks turned that Down....

WTF is Denver thinking? 3 Starters?

If I was the Knicks I would PROBABLY give up Chandler and Gallo or just Chandler...


I dont mind trading Billups for Felton.. Im tired of Feltons chucking Non-shooting Ass.
But Gallo and Fields too...LMAO!!


Knicks get Melo while Keeping Fields is Good...

Knicks get Melo while Kicking Fields AND Gallo? GREAT.


If the Knicks Lose out of Melo because of That particular Melo deal they proposed then I dont blame the Knicks....

Shit Melo is NICE (perhaps top 7-10 player in the League) and this is a Superstar League, but I dont want to see him in NY w/ just Amare is some SCRUBS. but thats just me...

 

[massdagod]

Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Eddy Curry and at least one first-round pick.

Take off Ray add another draft pick and deal is done.

They actually want another undisclosed starter on top of that.....



So its probably Fields

And I say, FUCK that.

 

[daman200]

The Nets pulled out of that deal. Because they couldnt get a gurantee of Melo signing with them.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/basketball/nba/01/19/nets.carmelo.ap/index.html

Naw the Nets owner pulled the plug cause all this stupidness from the nuggets.......The Nuggets want everyone and everything for carmelo it aint happening.

Im sure the nets billionaire owner and melo could have worked something out.

 

[M.H.C.]

At this point I don't give a fuck who they trade for him as long as it's not to the Lakers and definitely not for just Bynum. They need to get this shit happening because right now Melo on the team aint helping at all. These bums can't focus long enough to keep a lead and win games against teams they should win against.

All that talent on this team and you in 8th place? This trade talk has affected the play of the every team Melo has been rumoured to be traded to and most importantly the Nuggets.

I dont believe Melo wanted to talk to the Nets, cuz I remember the week he was supposed to talk to them, he came out in the Press and said: "I dont wanna Talk to NOBODY."


Its sort of like Amare not getting traded to Cleveland.... Lebron told Amare he was out so dont even bother coming here and signing an extension.




but like I said, Melo was NEVER going to the Nets... Whether or not NJ backed out.

 

[M.H.C.]

So in a Nutshell, Nuggets want:

Felton
Gallo
Fields
Curry's Expiring
and a 1st Round Pick


for Carmelo

The Nuggets should go after Wilson, Eddy, AR, two first rounds. Don't know why people place this Gallo dude so high.

I mean I wouldn't mind him but the Knicks trying to hold on to Gallo when they can get Melo.

BTW if/when he comes in free agency who would the Knicks have to get rid of to sign him. I know he can't just join this squad straight up with the money he wants.

Chandler.... Also I am not so sure its Gallo as the amount of players they want. Its 3 starters, the Eddy Curry Money, and a pick. and while the bench isn't the worse in the league they are all just role players none except Turiaf have shown the ability to be starters. Also Felton who is still a young player can barely keep up with the pace of the Knicks game and have them looking for a back up for him. How is Billups going to run a full court fast transition team.

 

[BlackArsenic]

I'm a huge Knicks fan and they are idiots. With this deal they have a playoff team. Tell me who in that deal from the Knicks are a star or starter on any Elite team. You keep Fields and Chandler plus get the Nuggets best two players.

Billups/Douglas
fields/ChandlerChandler
Melo/Williams
Amare /Turiaf
Mozgov/ who cares

Billups will be chucking 3's all day in that system. He loves those fastbreak 3's.

Naw Melo said he didn't want to talk to no one knicks lakers or Nets but then back door his comment saying he would talk to Proky

I would have took that meeting," Anthony said after he scored 37 points in the Nets' 115-99 victory over the Nuggets in Newark. "That meeting was going to take place. I can agree to that. As far as anything else, I can't really speak of that." Anthony also addressed all the talk of him not wanting to sign with the Nets. "I really don't know where it came from, as far as if I was to come here, the extension wasn't going to get signed," he said.

The thing is this the Knicks are smart as hell.

Melo has basically did this. He has made it look like he will only sign with the Knicks.

So now the Knicks are competing with their selves.

So when Denver puts an offer that will gut your team you can tell them to go to hell and hang up the phone.

Reason why?? The deadline is 9 days away now.

They have to trade him or lose him for nothing.

The way the CBA is forming teams will only be able to afford two superstars.

No more three.

The Knicks look at it like this. We get Melo on our terms through a trade or we sign him when ever the lockout is over and save even more money. He will be a lot cheaper that way. Plus your roster is not gutted.

The Knicks are not the ones on a deadline that is Melo and the Nuggets.

The Nuggets need something to sell to their fans or they will be in the same boat as the Cavs and Raps.

Melo will likley lose out on 15 to 18 million dollars.

"If I sit here and say I'm willing to lose 15 or 20 million dollars, I'd be lying to you," Anthony said.

Melo people are the ones who leaked the bullshit Lakers want Melo rumor. To try and get the Knicks to make a move.

Then Melo says this shit right here.

http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_17341282

Anthony said he hasn't heard any update from management about a potential trade, and if he isn't moved, he might sign. "I was thinking it was something that I would take a real hard look at ... and make my decision."

Though Anthony has always said he was keeping his options open, he hadn't talked publicly about possibly signing until today.

"As the days go on, that's something that I think about, that nothing might happen, that I'll be here, whether I have to deal with the free-agency market or re-sign the extension here with the Nuggets," he said.

You would not had sold your house.

Again the Knicks are playing this smarter and better than the Nets did

Melo was NEVER gonna sign w/ the Nets, Sorry dude. Fuck what your Opinion is.

He and Amare been wanting to team up w/ CP3 since last summer through back channels, Dude.


Melo makes it seem like its not that simple, when in reality, it is.

What I was showing in my post is how Melo is using this and that to get what he wants.

Watch if Melo isn't traded soon what will happen.

You will all of sudden hear about the bulls Nets and Lakers again.

Lakers are willing to take Melo because of their struggles.

The Bulls are working with a third team to get Melo.

The Nuggets and Nets have resume talks about Melo

is any of this true???

No all this of this will be bullshit from Team Melo.

To try to get the Knicks to force something and hurry up is all.

People actually thought the Lakers called Denver and that Denver would accept a injury prone big man who isn't even 24 and can't stay healthy???

Yet they are asking for teams like the Nets and Knicks to gut their roster????

GTFOH.

That bullshit came from Team Melo trying to force the Knicks hands.

As for Chris Paul it's not happening.

One of the things that the Knicks and other teams are aware. The next CBA will put an end to 3 max contracts on the same team.

So it will just be Melo and Amare unless CP3 is willing to take a huge paycut.

Again the Knicks are playing this smart.

They will get him on their terms

Nigga you still on the notion that the Nets had a chance? Only way they have a chance is if NY fail. Even then I think Denver has a better chance.

 

[killa kadafi191]

Nigga you still on the notion that the Nets had a chance? Only way they have a chance is if NY fail. Even then I think Denver has a better chance.

1. I only thought the Nets had a chance one because Melo wanted his extension and the Nets were stupid and desperate enough to do whatever it takes to get him.

I said that many times.

No way did I or anyone else figure that the Nets would back out of this deal.

The Nets still don't have a chance even if the Knicks fail.

Proky pride is at hand and as someone said.

Dude is pissed at what had happening and how long it was taking to get a deal done.

He has already responded this week saying that if the Nuggets called and said we will give you Melo for less his answer would still be no.

He even called Carmelo "Carmela"

So again who would have thought the Nets would have showed pride and back out after being dragged around the Nuggets.

Which why I changed my avatar.

that's why I said this has nothing to do with talent. They know Melo is new york bound. These niggaz so desperate knowing Melo goes to the Knicks BK is a wrap.

So they are in nothing to lose mode.

They hear houston bout to trade the knicks back their pick for Anthony Randolph.

Avery says hey I don't like Twill we want him and you give us a pick,

Now the Nets dumb ass will offer Denver this.

Murphy's expiring contract
Favors potential and youth
a shit load of picks

and say we don't care if he signs the extension or not.

Of course Denver is going to do that.

Now the knicks will either be force to sweeten the deal or just bow out and wait for Melo to leave the Nets dumb ass.

As I said I only thought the Nets were getting Melo because they would have did anything denver wanted and Melo wanted his extension.

Now the Knicks are smart, they are willing to allow Melo to become a free agent. Their is no pressure on them.

The Nets couldn't do that. their best chance to obtain Melo was in a trade with the extension.

So it's not about NY failing or Denver accepting the Nets offer.

Proky has already told King no matter what don't accept any of Denver calls.

Now it's about Pride because he was looking like a fool. His team was being strung around by the Nuggets rookie front office. since september.

A deal would be agreed and the Nuggets back out.

 

[BlackArsenic]

Anyway the Knicks are dumb if they don't pull the trigger on this trade.

 

[killa kadafi191]

Anyway the Knicks are dumb if they don't pull the trigger on this trade.

again your thinking is the reason why the nuggets or team melo are the ones who leaked this information.

They hope that the fans and Knicks Nation will be outraged that the Knicks turned down an offer to get Melo.

hoping the pressure from the fans will lead to the Knicks accepting the offer.

This is chess not checkers.

Again where else can Melo go???

The Knicks refused an offer that would have gutted their team for a player they can get on their terms by their choice.

The Knicks have all the power here.

Also look at it like this.

When the new CBA comes that will kill any chance of CP3 coming to unless he is willing to take a huge paycut. Even more than Melo will have to if he sign with the Knicks as a free agent.

So what happens when Billups gets too old. At least Felton is young and shown he can flourish in Mike D offense.

You are not looking at the big picture.

The Knicks can get Melo one way or another.

The Knick are just saying it will be on our terms not yours.

We aren't the Nets. We aren't going to take whatever deal you throw out.

Also considered this. Denver GM has been known to waffle at last minute. Who is to say he doesn't pull out and ask for even more.

Like he has done three times already.

The Knicks just took a power position.

Carmelo = overrated.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. This trade benefits the Knicks not Nuggets. If the Knicks do not get Melo within the 9 days they have, they will not get him at all. You are giving up role players for two players that would put you 3rd in the east. Are the Knicks insane?

On top of this you get to keep Fields and Chandler who is the best 6th man playing right now and Douglas and still have Randolph to trade for someone. Knicks do it!!!

you are thinking desperate.

Okay lets say Melo isn't traded by the deadline where else is he going to go???

Come on man you are thinking to erratic.

Who else has the cap space the Knicks will have when ever the lockout is over??

Plus when the lockout is over.

Everyone will be only able to offer Melo to same amount of money except Denver who can offer an extra year.

So then his decision is about where he wants to go.



So what team is Melo going to if he isn't traded.

Wait wait wait.

you not one of those who actually believe that Melo to lakers bullshit.

You wanna know what players the Lakers are really trying to get??

It's two players on the team that kicked their ass last night.

Gerald Wallace or Stephan Jackson.

Another trade the Lakers looked into, according to ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher, involved sending forward Ron Artest to Charlotte for either Gerald Wallace or Stephen Jackson. Artest, who ESPN.com's Marc Stein reported had been privately pining for a trade, was not fazed when he heard this. "Regardless, the NBA is going to be a great association," Artest told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "There's 400-something players in the NBA, 30 teams, and every team, every organization, is great. Everybody is like one big team, one big happy family. Everybody is getting paid." ESPN.com

they have been trying to get one of those two all year

but back to the question where is melo going if he is not traded to the knicks

Chicago, Denver, Houston. There are teams Melo could go to.

Also, what's erractic. It's a good trade for the Knicks, bad for the Nuggets. Who of that purposed trade would actually do something on the Nuggets?

 

[conspiracy Bro]

Anyway the Knicks are dumb if they don't pull the trigger on this trade.

I gotta disagree with you man. If this was a trade in a non FA year for Melo then yeah the Knicks would be robbing the Nuggets based on talent

If this was a year where if Melo went into free agency with NY not being his first choice then maybe this was a fair trade since we would be paying to box out competitors from getting him. basically what they Nets did in this same situation.

However there are a whole bunch of intangibles in the Knicks favor with its dealing with the Nuggets.

1. Everyone saw how the Raptors and Cavs lost their best players for damn near nothing. The Nuggets would have to be completely insane to want to put themselves in the same position as those two teams. Add to that with Nene probably leaving and Billups retiring who will they have to get any momentum on their team. I'm not saying its one of our players but they are still trade assets compared to nothing.

2. If your the Knicks you see how Denver hasn't added anyone by trade to try to convince Melo to stay. Instead all they have done was create trade proposals that reeked of desperation to get better value for Melo by trying to take advantage of a Nets. However that softened Denver's position since it made it known that they are not confident that they could keep Melo.

Included is the fact that for Denver it doesn't matter who Melo goes to in FA they'll still get pennies on the dollar. the only person who can give them anything that they might want is NY. All we gotta do is sweeten the pot to the point its a better deal than what they could get for a rental.

I say one 1st round pick, Gallo or Chandler, Curry, and Azzy. If they don't resign billups, Smith, and Nene They'll save a ton of money going forward and could use that dough to reboot their young team.

Chicago, Denver, Houston. There are teams Melo could go to.

Also, what's erractic. It's a good trade for the Knicks, bad for the Nuggets. Who of that purposed trade would actually do something on the Nuggets?

Okay one I live in Houston. The Rockets GM has said he verbally he is not interested in renting Melo.

The Rockets are looking for small moves.

the move they are talking about right now. Courtney Lee to Bulls.

http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chi...ave-discussed-courtney-lee-for-omer-asik.html

So kill that plus Leon Rose has already informed Houston he would not sign the extension there.

Chicago??? Again with what cap space. Chi has already said they will not ruin their roster or team chemistry for one player.

Paxson learned that back in 07-08 season when he tried to get Kobe. Did you forget if so he is a reminder.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3090192

"There's not a deal done," he said Thursday. "There's not going to be a deal done. All the things that were out there were really unfair to all of us who were trying to do our jobs. The misinformation ... I think gets in the way of the process. It's just such a complicated thing and we kind of put it to rest now."

which why when the Melo drama started the Bulls were the quietest because Paxson seen first hand how trade rumors can fuck a team up. Remember how the bulls came into that season sweeping the NBA champs Heat. How everyone was saying wow they are a team on the rise and all those trade talks with Kobe distracting them to one of the worst records in the league. well that did lead them to draft Derrick Rose but still Paxson was interested.

Plus Derrick Rose is getting a contract extension. They just gave one to Joe and sign boozer they will be at the cap and you know who doesn't go over the cap.

oh one more thing denver isn't interested in Chi players.

Now Denver

Melo put his house up for sell.

Getting boo by fans and so on so on.

If he wanted to be a Nugget he would have been sign the contract.

again you are over reacting thinking the Knicks need to accept whatever offer Denver has on the table. they have the power.

They can get Melo now or later.

they get him on their terms without being gutted.

or get him in the summer while keeping all their role players

 

[KING OF VA]

The Nuggets are outta their dam minds....Kats are sleepin on Gallinari though...he's kinda nice...I don't think they're gonna let him go....besides that's one of Spike Lee's favorite players and he's dam near one of the minority owners of the team now

Galo - 16 pts per game 90% FT shooter

LMAO. Nuggets are funny.

 

[BlackArsenic]

Billups/Douglas
fields/Chandler
Melo/Williams
Amare /Turiaf
Mozgov/ who cares

That's the Knicks potential line up. Outside the Celtics which pretty much have 1 year left and the Heat who in the East are topping that? You can trade Randolph for another Center behind Mozgov. You do this trade. Everyone and they momma believed LeBron was coming to NY. You dont assume shit. Make the trade, you're not gutting your team, you're improving it.

Can anyone honestly say that this current Knicks team is better now, than it would be if they made the trade?
