I don't know why, but it's buggin me that Timo could be going to the Nets. I just have this real deep hatred for the Nets and it's only gotten worse with the arrival of Prok as owner. He's been dissin us since he got here and this is just another dig in our ribs. I hope we destroy them everytime we play them.

Knicks close in on Melo deal

Posted on: February 21, 2011 9:57 pm

The Knicks and Nuggets closed in on a trade sending Carnelo Anthony to New York Monday night, with multiple league sources telling CBSSports.com that the trade was on the brink of happening.

The framework of the deal, which is expected to be completed Tuesday, would send Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Timofey Mozgov and New York's 2014 first-round pick to Denver for Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams and Anthony Carter, sources said. The Timberwolves were fully on board with the deal, agreeing to take Eddy Curry's expiring contract along with Anthony Randolph from the Knicks. Corey Brewer would go from Minnesota to Denver.

The Nets, whose pursuit of Anthony was on the verge of ending Monday night, were not fully committed to taking two Knicks from Denver, according to one of the people briefed on the negotiations. The Nets' involvement depends on which two of the four ex-Knicks the Nuggets want to trade after completing the deal with New York. It is believed that Nuggets officials want some degree of assurance that they can flip two of the Knicks players they are getting for draft picks, which they value more.

It was presumed earlier Monday that Denver would flip Gallinari and Mozgov to New Jersey for two first-round picks, providing the final incentive for Denver to part with its franchise player and four-time All-Star. But sources indicated Monday night that the Nets may actually want Felton in that scenario, and that New Jersey prefers Felton over acquiring Andre Miller from Portland in one of several separate potential trades they are discussing.

SHEEEEIT! - But I'll get over it, just need this crap to be over.


Why don't we just give the whole ****ing team! I am really pissed.

Papabear Says

We did! This Melo thing is much bigger than just Melo. By us getting Melo the Brooklyn Nets will open with no superstar and no chance of taking out the Knicks. The Russian should have never put that sign near MSG. When him and Jay Z did that it was war. The winner in this whole thing is the Knicks because Denver and the Nets did everything to block us and we still prevailed. Think of this! if we would start loosing without Carmelo being here you would hear the sound of Melo Melo. Well now he is hear and we still have Fields.

Knicks are going to really regret trading Felton. If they really ended up trading Felton, Gallo, Chandler and Mozgov, than its possible they will be worse than what they were before the break. They need to try to keep the PG.

For me, if I could play GM for a NY minute, I prob would have acquiesced on Gallo/Chandler/Felton for Melo/Billups (if my owner pushed me to it) but Moz def is a line that I would not have crossed.

agreed. i was starting to really like Mozgov.

hardest part of this trade for me is losing Felton.


Yeah but we get a point guard tha twon a championship already and a true true leader. Big Game playa with clutch shots ..

The Future. GO KNICKS!

Moz is a project who had a few good games. Cant let him prevent us from landing a top 10 talent. Also, with Moz possibly in, AR and 1st pick might remain with us. If thats the case, I can live with it. Always felt that Randolph had the most potential of all of our youngin's, just hope that MDA is forced to put him into the rotation. Opening up playing time for AR is almost like getting another player in this trade.

Pissed off if they give up Mozgov. Most they should have given up was Chandler, Gallo , Randolph, Curry, Felton. Anything more and I'm sorry but I blame Walsh. If he had any balls he would walk away if Dolan overuled him.
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

it's not the case. AR/Curry are going to Twolves. This is a set-in-stone part of the deal.

If Mozgov is traded you just know it is James Dolan's call. Donnie and Mike don't want him dealt

it's not fair to say that about Walsh - if your boss told you to do something you didn't agree with would you "walk away" or grin and bear it?

Me too..Felton became an 18 & 9 PG here who was right in his prime. That's a tough loss.

I would have prefred to keep Felton as well, but to be fair Billups has been playing pretty good ball lately averaging about 17 pts and 7 asts over the last 8 games. The average would be higher if not for a 5 pt game where he only played 9 mins.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

The more I think about it, the more the Mozgov loss hurts.

edit: and YOU KNOW the only reason they're asking for Mozgov is because Proko is offering them at least one pick for the Moz.

Wish we would have been able to hang onto Randolph as we need size now badly. Just pissed we wasted Randolph at the very worst if we had played him, he could have been a big piece of this deal and maybe we could have held onto Gallo if we did that

If I was established in my job and was hired with full autonomy, I would stand up for my beliefs. No doubt about it.
