Anthony leads the NBA with seven technicals, moving ahead of Orlando's Dwight Howard and Charlotte's Stephen Jackson, who each have six.

Players who reach 16 technical fouls during a single season receive an automatic one-game suspension.

Anthony is currently on pace to receive nearly 34 technical fouls.

couple schools of thought,

--ny good player/character yoots look good to mr. kroenke right about now.

--this may sour walsh from making the most competitive bid for melo.

--amar'e and felton may be the best antidote to bring out the best in melo.

---He's padding his player retirement fund.

---He's suffering from spousal abuse at home, and is venting on the next closest authority figure.

---He's exhibiting to everyone that he might play in Denver, but he's no Mr. Softee.

---He's in a New York state of mind.

Walsh can give them what we won't need anymore in good faith.

Or wait until the summer and use Wilson, or Gallo to get what we need.

Even with Melo was are not a true contender.
