Did the Knicks rejected a Rondo and a Aldridge trade ?

I never heard of any of them, but according to Stephen A. Smith we did just that.

Melo knows the Knicks had a chance at LaMarcus Aldridge and blew it. He knows they snubbed a trade that would've brought Rajon Rondo to New York or Kyle Lowry in a separate deal. All year long he sat around, played hard and averaged 27 points per game, while the Knicks stood idly by and did nothing -- primarily because Dolan wouldn't allow them to, telling the team in multiple meetings that the players weren't going anywhere.

Who cares? Without knowing the whole equation, it is impossible to know if it was a good deal or not.

This.

Anyway, I highly doubt that.

one day were praying for Rondo and would do anything to get him, the next we rejected a trade because Dolan rejected it out of spite

The next day we hear that Mills traded for Barfs instead of Aldrige probably because of a CAA conspiracy.

who believes this crap?
come on people

stop being so gullible

I don't believe anyone those guys was a possibility except Lowry. Definitely not Rondo since it was well know that the Celts weren't interested in anything we could offer (including Shump).

Stephen A is a smart dude to put the Lowry deal in there to make the others appear legit,

Ib4 "I told y'all Mills botched the Amare deal" .

Thank you! Sad that the media will go above and beyond just to say bad things about our team. It will be a sweet day when we win an nba championship.

Did the Knicks reject a Rondo and a Aldridge trade ?

Of course ! Knicks also rejected a Lebron trade !

Seriously, Screaming A. Smith's saying Knicks rejected a trade offer for Rondo and Aldridge. It really makes no sense.

Just ask yourself one question : if the Celtics and Blazers wanted to part ways with Rondo and Aldridge, why are they still in Boston and Portland ?

SAS wants Knicks fans to believe Celtics and Blazers only had interest in Knicks players and no other team succesfully attempted to acquire those players ? Blazers and Celtics only wanted Knicks players and (lack of) assets ? Yeah right ! LOL

If there was a possibility these guys could be traded, lots of teams could have proposed a better offer. And if as SAS suggested, Knicks refused to pull the trigger, Blazers and Celtics would have contacted other teams and most of them would have made offers.

Lol Cleveland wasn't even close to getting Aldridge for the #1 pick and another 1st. What offer could we have possibly made to top that?

So sick of these guys just making stuff up.

SAS gets paid to create controversy.

Aldridge was likely never on the market, and the Knicks had few assets (aside from Anthony himself) than Ainge would want.

As for Lowery, it was a good move to not give up a 2018 #1 for a FA looking to get paid, with your 2014 and 2016 #1s already spoken for.

Lowery might have gotten the Knicks into the playoffs, where they could have gone out in 5 versus Miami or Indiana. And then we would have had no choice but to pay him anything he asked for.

Yes Portland wanted Steve Novak, Camby, and Cryson for LA this is all true! I also have a nice bridge to sell you.

Wasn't SAS bitching about how the Knicks had no assets to get Carmelo any help for the longest?

Lowry? Yeah that was most definitely likely. If Anthony actually was dumb enough to believe that Lowry would have been enough to help him for the long haul as Robin, then...wow.

Aldridge? Of all the seasons in Aldridge's career to think that the Knicks had a shot at trading for him, this season, his BEST SEASON BY FAR as he was leading the Blazers to their best season in a long long time is the absolute worst time to be having fantasies about.

Rondo? The Celtics traded 2 broken down old men (KG and Pierce) to the Nets for more than what the Knicks could have possibly come up with in terms of assets. Why on earth would Ainge (who has never ever ever done the Knicks a favor) trade Rondo (when his value is at it's lowest) for...what...Shumpert, Hardaway Jr and Melo underwear that Knicksman780 stole?

I admit...I laughed at this.

A few years from now, someone will mention the proposed Amare deal, and I'll login with a big "I told you so". I'll probably be wearing Melo's Depends at that time however
