AboveLegit Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yeah...basically 2012. If they get cp3 or d will they basically are as good as MIA and BOS will be too old by then.......Melo and Amare are making close to how much the Heat trio are making..explain to me how the Knicks manage to sign Paul or Williams.. They gave up virtually every trade asset they have, and will have a much tougher time building a supporting cast around their duo than the Heat.

NomarFachix Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 SpearsNBAYahoo Quietly, new NYK G Chauncey Billups got paid as he is expected to get $14 million salary '11-'12 and won't be bought out, source tells Y! Good, makes him a trade asset in 2012 for a deadline Deron/Paul trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Who needs Melo when you have Kris Humphries? [expletive]. Haha in all seriousness though I'm happy for the Knicks. It has been a very, VERY long time since they had a nice team. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 First thought: About time. Second thought: What a terrible trade for the Knicks, they gave up WAY to much for Melo and an old unhappy point guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 So I just got off the phone with my buddy that lives in Queens and is a HUGE Knicks fan and he said that they had to do this trade pretty much. If they didn't then Walsh and Dolan would have gotten killed if they were out in public. They have been waiting on this trade all season, but I just don't see how this favors them. I did the trade machine on ESPN and the Knicks are projected to lose a win. With a shitty starting lineup of:C- TuriafPF- AmareSF- MeloSG- FieldsPG- Billups6th Man- Brewer Who is going to grab rebounds against Perkins, Dwight, Horford, Noah, and even Haslem for that matter. This makes no sense when they could have just waited the season out and got Melo as a Free Agent and they would have had: C- MozgovPF- AmareSF- MeloSG- Chandler/FieldsPG- Felton6th Man- Gallo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Props to Nuggets' front office now that the Knicks have bite. They insisting on getting more, and got more. Hell, they got more here than what the Nets could have offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Glad this is finally over. This trade has the potential to be the catalyst that starts a trading frenzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) I think its worth it no matter who you have to give up, if youre the Knicks. You can find Raymond Feltons, Gallinaris, and Chandlers across the league. Melo is in a class of his own, players like him do not come around often. You can easily build around Melo and Amare, thats a superstar tandem. Melo + Amare + the draw of New York = free agents wanting to go there. As for Dantoni, well youre not gonna win anything with him as your head coach. Just gotta get a new coach and the Knicks will be a contender.

It's a good thing you don't grab rebounds as an individual but as a team. BTW, we got better at rebounding through this deal Melo > Chandler it terms of rebounding. So idk how rebounding factors into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Swish* Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 New York is going to be very exciting to watch. But I think it's going to take time to build a nice chemistry around the Big Apple. As for the Nuggets, I think they pretty much should be very happy and not depressed of losing Melo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not adamantly say that Favors was going to Denver, you got a lot of crow to eat before you can post. Then you have the nerve to say your happy?

Owner Real Deal Posted February 22, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Denver was going to deal Melo before the deadline, no matter what. If it meant him to New Jersey, they would've done it. They would've taken Bynum, too. And Melo was going to accept it. There's no way he would NOT sign that extension, as long as it was a big market team with potential to contend. Waiting until the off-season...it would be different if this were February 2010. With the uncertainty of the new CBA, he wouldn't have risked it, and New York knew this had to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more and more I let this sink in, the more and more I agree with what you're saying. I don't mind the price anymore, we have two players who started the ASG in a 30 team league. Still need pieces to make this work, but the base is there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
