S+T stinks now. If we had Chicago picks couldve had Nurkic Hairston Mirotic Boozer and a future #1. I dont like Doug Mcdermott or anyone else that is young on that roster.

I don't like McDermott either but perhaps he could be moved again? I like Butler, and if JR could be included in deal that would be AOK with me. The Euro big would need to come to NY and maybe Snell too, and tons of draft picks of course.

I'm really high on McDermott. A deadly shooter for a triangle scheme. I'd ask for McDermott, Snell, Mirotic, Cameron Bairstow (really underrated guy) a 2016 first rounder and 2nd rounders for any year we're missing them.

Why insult them at all?

These are elite professionals who makes millions and owe absolutely nothing to you random strangers.

we pay them to be take our abuse. No?

I love your on point simplistic take on bull sh1t.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

A big part of this feels calculated, in how Melo and LeBron haven't decided. Maybe waiting on Bosh to go to HOU. Maybe crazy, but thinking

I literally don't understand why LeBron would rather play with Melo over Bosh. Melo plays the same position and can't defend bigs like Bosh. Let's say Bosh leaves and Melo fills his spot, who are the big guys on the team? McRoberts, BirdMan, Haslem?

And wouldn't' Gay, LeBron, Melo all duplicate each other?

Yeah but it is also kind of transparent, middle schoolesque drama. I don't think Melo is coming back at this point.

C'mon. Melo can score miles and miles better than Bosh. Bosh is an ok defender but he can't touch Melo offensively. With the way Melo has been shooting from 3 (which is pretty much all Bosh has been relegated to), he can be a killer with Lebron setting him up.

And, if melo plays with Lebron, we will take far fewer stupid shots.

I would actually love to see Lebron play with a scoring freak like Melo. It would be super entertaining though perhaps a beautiful disaster.

Lebron is still mad that Bosh missed that big 3 against SA.

He comes back if Bosh goes to miami or Lebron goes to Cleveland.

Carmelo is trying to get to Miami--this BS about Lebron to Clev and Melo to Chicago is a load of sht. They are buying time with fronted stories--this is obvious.

yeah, I kinda agree on that. No reason Melo wouldn't have signed by now if something wasn't up

I feel worse for Clev fans also some scker action on Vegas books moving Clev from 60-1 to 10-1--dumb money is going to buy it and will lose it all. NY fan is ok---I think from beginning to end Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks has been 1 big disaster. He didnt care about NY coming here(by btching us into trading for him) and he could care less on the way out.

Also, LBJ really is from Ohio and he was drafted by the cavs. Seemed almost magical. I am upstate and used to go see the Knicks play the cavs every year with friends and family when Lebron was there. The city really embraced him (i.e. bars with count downs until he is 21 etc.). The year Lebron left I bought tickets on stub hub for the cavs game the day after the trade deadline when the Knicks were trying to get Melo. The cover of the program had Byron Scott on it and there were a lot of anti-lbj shirts in the city and the arena. Imagine a coach on the cover because your team is so bad. Imagine Byron Scott on the cover.

^We got great seats dirt cheap and got to see Melo in his second game. The Knicks lost and Antawn Jamison owned Melo.

The longer it goes on, the more suspicious it looks. The fact Melo isn't returning Phil's texts, the absolute lockdown secrecy- there is no need for such secrecy if you're just deciding which team to sign with. If you're planning/plotting however, then it makes sense.

We're back at risk of losing Melo for nothing. While I think signing him for the max would be worse for us 3 years down the line, I will still resent Melo for walking out and not helping us get anything back for him- just as a professional courtesy! And the fact he'd be going to our arch Nemesis the Heat would make it worse!

I suppose if they teamed up with the Cavs, it wouldn't be so bad as we could actually do a sign and trade with them (if Lebron would rather play with Melo over Love).

Anyways, have the Mavs signed the offer sheet for Parsons? If so it basically puts a 3 day deadline on this crap because the Rockets will have to push Bosh for a decision.

The Mavs did sign the offer sheet for Parsons. Also it is refreshing that Phil just says he has been texting Melo and Melo isn't responding.

Either way I hope we find out today. If they let this go through the weekend it's ridiculous.

everyone is waiting on bosh. if he leaves for houston isn't it possible or likely that melo and lebron are going to team up in miami?
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
