Melo with extention
2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15
$17,149,243 $18,518,575 $20,000,061 $21,600,065 $23,868,072

Lebron and superfriends money.....

http://hoopshype.com/salaries/miami.htm

Denver knows Melo walks. Offer him sick money. Money he can't refuse. Money Denver won't have to pay. The are in a sense pre negotating his contract and shopping it for trade.

The deal is he does not sign this without a trade. Denver knows some team will take these contracts.

Denver Knows Melo will likely compromise and take the money and go. Knicks have the right of refusal. Denver can say "knicks don't want you, or don't want to pay you, but Brooklyn will!"

Melo really gonna walk away from that money? Really?

No, Denver is playing this very very smart. I say its already prearranged and Melo is just going along with it. He wants to be traded, but he wants to sign that extention first!!!!!!

THink he won't go to orlando? Chicago? Jersey? I say he is cooperating with Denver. Its a freaking well orchestrated play that gives Melo some control.

If He comes to knicks as free agent then I'll happily be wrong.

AMare was one thing, this dude is another.

No way we should trade for him. If he is sincere wait. If he is not, his actions will speak.

I don't think he is worth that kind of money. Certainly not more than the Superfriends are getting!

Melo can take a sock and stuff it, because, hey, it's what it is, I AIN'T BEAT!!!! WE AIN'T BEAT!

Knicks are rock and roll right now. Melo is a dog, he's a sad excuse for a superstar. Hype machine. Churning them out. I'll take Gallo and Ill Wilson anyday.

I just said in another thread that when making a deal like this you can't just look at this current season, but you look at the next 5 seasons and what having Felton, Amar'e and Melo would do for you over that period of time. You'll have some opportunities to build the supporting cast and become a Finals team. So Donnie is gonna likely think long term rather than short term cuz that's how a GM thinks. He's got Amar'e in his prime and adding Melo only makes it easier to actually complete a title team. He'll eventually have to make sure that he gets this guy here and not let him slip thru his fingers. You just can't do it. Melo is the last guy that we can realistically add that is at or near that elite level. I just can't see Donnie passing on that. He's gonna want to hold out as long as he can to try and get the best deal, but in the end he'll have to make it happen, even if it costs a bit more than he wants to pay.

melo eeasssiillllyy earns his salary in new york. especially if all he does is help win just one chip, one.

for denver they just cant build around melo anymore period. they tried and failed. maybe he is just not a leader like lebron, who needs say wade to hold his hand. amar'e will hold melo's hand. amar'e is our kg except he doesnt punch people in the face. pierce needed a kg, does that mean pierce is not a star? no. just one piece fits with the other to make a whole.

You can do some very interesting things with Melo/Amar'e running PnR or when Amar'e goes out the game Melo/Felton. We could keep a star on the court at all times as opposed to now when we lose punch once Amar'e goes to the bench.

I would not give a huge package for Bogut either. There's no reason for any panic moves. Anything more than Gallo for Bogut is a bad trade for us.

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Any thoughts on the beef between Amar'e Stoudemire and Andrew Bogut?

The Bucks arent trading Bogut or Jennings. Bogut anchors their interior.

Now I think the Bucks may be willing to trade us an unprotected 2012 pick for Wilson Chandler though.

You are too attached to these players and aren't looking at things clearly.

It's not that I'm attached to those players, it's that I'm attached to the team as a whole. I like how they're playing, I like watching them. Each one of those players brings something dope fresh to the table, and, to be perfectly honest, I don't want that broken up to get Melo. We just need to reinforce this squad and that's it, championship.

But, you know, I also hated the Amar'e signing. What can I say? I'm a huge Gallo fan. If he stays and we get Melo, that's cool. And you know what else? Being a fan of Gallo is like being a fan of the Knicks, there is no right or wrong team or player to be a fan of. That's my mans right there. He better stay.

OBM... you're off on this one.

If you want to languish in mediocrity eternally with a team that's "dope fresh" then keep the squad as is.

If you want to win the bracelet, you have go know when to go all in.

Melo is the big risk that wins the big prize. Anything else is fear talking. Don't worry, the team will still be dope fresh with a ring.

Melo, Stat and Ray take us deep into the playoffs THIS YEAR.

Let it be known: I believe in the Knicks this year-- deep into the playoffs, I swear to you my brothers...

We can potentially lose Chandler for nothing this summer.
