Sounds about right.

We'll have 13 threads before the Nets have gotten to the halfway point of their first one.

smh that should tell Melo all he needs to know about where to go.

Funny thing is, not only are Nets losing face but do you really want to be someone's distant backup option? He won't be happy there. You want happy players.

Move on, show some dignity, but also it's bad roster management to be willing to take a guy who will only go there for money and then will be unhappy and handle losing badly. It's a lose-lose.

He'll be a Knick by the deadline.

Denver will finally realize that he is only going to NY and will be desperate to get something out of it.

Gallo, Curry, Randolph (or 2012 pick from trading him), 2014 pick for Melo.

Book it and write it down.

Original post was a link to an episode of Punk'd where they prank Melo. For those that want to watch it you need only google it. Pretty funny and man did the guy look young as h3ll in it.

No reason to give Fields at all. Gallo and a 1st round pick or enjoy the useless TPE in the summer.

Exactly. Here's a nice example.

Amar'e = happy to be here. Playing great.

Melo = not happy to be there. Team is in turmoil.

Nets think to themselves....let's get Melo so he can be unhappy here instead. The phuck? :crazy:

Word? I'll remove it then. I was watching it just fine. I'm on a Mac though so maybe it's different or something. Thanks for the heads up.

100 percent agree. When the Grizzles signed Gay to that max deal, one thing they said to justify it was that it was important for the player to be happy. And I couldn't agree more. Although I still think it was a bit too much for Gay, they feel like they can build around him, and why have your guy your building around upset over 2 or 3 m a year?

How do you know what Denver will accept from us or not?

How do you know they won't demand us to take Al, or JR, or demand Fields and Douglas.

I KNOW 100 PERCENT THAT WOULD BE INSANE IF THEY DID, but how do we know that they wont try to gauge us like they did with NJ?

Yeah. Couple of of files attempted to download. My anti virus caught them as threats. Windows exploits and a trojan. No harm no foul here. Sucks cause I wanted to watch it. It was playing behind the warnings but im not taking a chance. Its all good.

Well, you can google Melo Punk'd and there's a couple of .com's hosting it. If you find one that's pc safe maybe you can post it for others.

Difference is if Melo will only sign an extension with NY, if he makes that known to management, no way the Nets give up Favors + Harris + draft picks for unextended Melo.

If Melo does say that to management, our offer would be the best offer available to Denver, just because no team is gonna beat our package with no extension guarantee. Just need Melo to stick to his guns.

Because they have no leverage?
