Carmelo never rejected a trade to the Nets.

Please. You know he had his people send a message. He's supposed to meet with Proko on Thurs Jan 21st and Proko gets on national TV on Wed Jan 20th and bows out of the sweepstakes, clearly frustrated?

You think Proko didn't hear something?

Of course Melo didn't come out and say anything... that's why he has an agent.

I'm pretty sure Amar'e has told him just how sweet it is being a star here. I'm sure he's paid attention to the way STAT has been received here as well. Who wouldn't want that verses the low profile Net situation?

According to a Knicks official, Denver wants Raymond Felton, Landry Fields, Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari — four of their top six players — for Carmelo Anthony and an aging Chauncey Billups. The Nuggets have also asked about Timofey Mozgov.

The price is too high for the Knicks. It would damage the roster, leaving Anthony and Stoudemire without a supporting cast.

Donnie Walsh, the Knicks’ president, has been willing to part with one top rotation player — Chandler or Gallinari — in addition to Eddy Curry’s expiring contract and a draft pick. The Knicks believe they are dealing from a position of strength, armed with the knowledge that Anthony wants to play in New York and could by signed as a free agent this summer.

Seems like a reach..but maybe, just maybe...they were frustrated that the Nuggets would not make a decision and the distraction it was causing to their team. I have to be sure they didn't spend a month or so working on a trade only to find out Carmelo doesn't want to come at the last minute. That was probably the first thing they checked out.

if they knew he would extend with them why would they have needed to set up a meeting with him?

To get Carmelo acquainted with the owner and see where the franchise is heading. Basically to cool any fears he may have over doing so.

Ha ha- that has to be a joke! What, the Nets deal, which they felt was overpaying, was Favors and Harris and a few draft picks, but the Nuggets want Felton (about equal to Harris), Fields (better than favors at the moment), Gallo AND Chandler AND a draft pick AND possibly Mosgov?!?!?!

Gallo,Chandler,Fields, Mosgov and a number one pick - -WOW -- they really don't want to trade him do they!! They are trying to save face in front of their Fan base - -Absolutely unbelievable - -Donnie will NEVER do it thank goodness - -I even believe he can convince Dolan not to do this one!

Nags have some inside info about Isiah still running the show...
So I think their demands are reasonable.
Isiah and Dolan will also add the Street Dencers and historical Marbs truck to the deal to have Carmelo in NY before All-star break....

This is exactly what Nags game plan is. To present it this way to Melo.
Good job actually..

Felton, Chandler, Gallo, Mosgov, Fields and a pick for Melo and Billups. What part of DW stating he would not gut the team doesn't Denver understand!!!! Broussard is an idiot. He also said that the Knicks are not willing to give uo what are essentially role players. Role players??? 4 of our starters and they're roll players.

Melo's team is upset over the situation and all Melo has to do is say he won't sign an extension with the Nets. If he really want's to come here he'll say it or sign with us during the summer. I am done with this nonsense. Screw Denver, let's pick up a big man and roll what we have with and see what happens this summer.
