He has the option or the team has the option?

Does the ETO mean less than $124 is guaranteed?
No info. on the possible no trade clause?

Sounds like Melo got a $2mil raise since yesterday for taking a paycut at $122mil.

That's how I interpret the recent figures

Definitely gross. No trade clause would be the last nail in the coffin

Carmelo Anthony has more power than you think. According to a league source, his new deal includes a no-trade clause, Daily News has learned

No wonder they were so slow with official news.

Maybe one of the worst contract agreements I've ever seen

How did Phil reason this was remotely palatable. What were the other 4 contract options?

120
121
122

and

123

he took option 5

I guess that he "sort of" did what phil wanted. NOT!

Is this the official contract or was the last one the official contract? Will the one that is reported tomorrow be the official one or the one that is reported next week?

Seriously?

It is 2M more than the rumored deal and now we are doomed?

no trade and an ETO?

Can some of you just say "damn that sucks"?

You can say that and still think he is a top player.

He was better off taking a max contract without these little throw-ins than insulting our intelligence with this phoney balogney paycut, just when we had gotten used to the idea of 122 with none of these little "perks" he throws salt in the wound.

Why would you think those things would not be in his contract? Why would any player who was offered that much money not have a no trade clause or an ETO? He only looked at a few teams in FA for a reason so to think that he would sign a contract that would allow a team to ship him to Utah, Sac, or etc would be reaching.

Now if you want to talk about the extra 2m then yes that is disappointing. I was still hoping for a deal under 120m but is it crippling I don't think so.

Why is an ETO bad? Most people that hate the signing feel that Melo will be falling apart, on the downhill making the max at age 35. So if he leaves a yr early wouldn't that be good for the knicks???

fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate
