[Camelo Thread Part 19] - Nyets won't be used pg 52

I was listening to the B-team on Mad Dog radio. They just had Tim Legler on, they asked him a few Carmelo questions to start. He says and has said for months he thinks Melo to the Knicks. He said it feels like years to him lol. He went on to say he does not understand why Carmelo would even meet with the Nets. In his opinion he'd be wasting 3 prime years of his career with the Nets lol. He says Knicks have been losing, but have Stoudermire in place and are headed in right direction. I thought some would like to hear that.

Regardless of what happens to us, one would have to assume that the Nets are out despite reports to the contrary. A guy like Prokhorov won't hold a news conference, declare the Nets out, have his assistant publicly reinforce this stance, only to either change his mind or be talked into it by his management. Guys like Prokhorov don't declare such strong statements as examples of leadership and control only to flip the switch. For goodness sake, his assistant went public with remarks about how he hasn't changed his mind. With all of the "sources" talk and reports, this was public, from his office, no speculation required. After seeing that story I'm even more convinced the Nets are out, it just wouldn't look good to Prok if the Melo trade goes through after he has been so demonstrative in the opposite direction.

Even though the Nuggets initiated the conversation with the Nets, sources close to the situation maintain that Prokhorov doesn't want to face the embarrassment associated with crawling back to the table after making such a spectacle during his press conference last month.

Also, Prokhorov isn't sold that Anthony wants to play in New Jersey and doesn't feel that he should have to beg the superstar to extend with the Nets. Prior to pulling out of trade talks, one source said that Prokhorov felt disrespected throughout the process and the idea of meeting with Anthony just to sell him on the situation annoyed the owner.

Says Prokhorov just doesn't want to get embarrassed if Melo says no and what do we make of Ken Berger's report that Melo hasn't even agreed to a meeting yet?

idk i stopped believe ANYTHING being written, its become a complete train wreck. the nets getting back into it does make it even harder to take proko seriously, also, some sources say the nets reached out to the nugs so that right there shows nobody knows for sure whats goin on. idk why melo would go to play with brook lopez and a team with no picks for the next 100 years as opposed to staying in denver whos much more capable of rebuilding quicky. people need to stop looking at it as knicks vs nets for think nets vs denver, how would the nets situation be any better than his current denvers. he'd be second fiddle to amare and on a losing team. maybe hes deadset on being on the east coast, but if he agrees to the nets i'd be stunned. it would be a worse decision, than "the decision" lol

Closing in on Thread 20. Not sure if Carmelo will make it to the Knicks in thread 20 like predicted. Does the predictor get the Internetz prize if thread 21 is when it happens (doubtful as well) as 13 was skipped, so thread 21 is actually 20?

Really getting turned off by 'Melo now. Will root for him if he comes here. But dude is every bit the prima dona that Bron was this summer -- and is not the player 'Bron is, or ever will be. James has to be thrilled at Carmelo Anthony rehabbing his image.

If you just sit back and cut out all the **** I think the only conclusion is a deal with the Knicks.

- I know Melo wants the extension $$$ but if he accepts Nets deal he's going to a VERY DEPLETED team that will have given away its future assets.

- He's basically scorned Denver already -- I don't see him turning around and signing there after all the water under the bridge already.

- There has been plenty of NY KNICK smoke for +6 months now ---- I don't see that changing this weekend.

BIG Wild Card is the Nuggets front office and whether or not they choose to cut off their nose to spite their face.

Thanks, cock.

Basically Legler said more clearly and in 20 words what I just tried to ramble about for half a page.

the problem with all these trades and this never ending drama is not Carmelo, not Walsh or Dolan and not Putin, or whatever his name is.

its Denver. 100%

If Denver had an adult as GM, a guy with any NBA experience, instead of a newbie we'd have reasonable deals being offered and made.

Right now Denver is taking themselves out of the game. We'd be foolish to give them what they want. We have only the spectre of the new CBA working against us and thats not really that big a deal

we have no reason to budge
Chandler, Randolph, Curry plus potentially Felton. thats it.

Carmelo Anthony is not a free agent he can't control where he wants to go at this point, and it is still up to Denver's hands whether they want to trade him or not. Denver's poor management has made this bigger than it really has to be.

Carmelo Anthony did not go around saying everyone wait till July to see what I am going to do.

They're all probably staying in the same hotel in LA...and some genius inferred that this must mean MEETING...

guess the media forgot to add that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Paul Pierce among players are expected at CBA talks during All-Star Weekend.

it's obvious carmelo is going to "meet" with dolan and phorkhorov and 27 other owners during the meeting about the cba.

lol@ gotta love the media

All depends on how much Melo is worried about the new CBA. There's not that much reason to worry.

If I was one of the 30 Nets fans, I'd be pissed with the proposed deal.

Favors, Harris and FOUR first rounders? You got to be kidding me...for one guy? Labron, maybe...not Melo as good as he is. You can do a hell of a job rebuilding with that many picks if you can get some decent drafts.

Agreed. Sit tight, be confident and stay firm.

Donnie will ignore the Noise that Denver is fabricating. And from what ive read, Dolan will not interfere with Donnie throughout this process.

hopefully iggy will still be on the block if nothing gets done.

Why are you blaming him. Its Denver's FO.

NBATV at noon. Game Time Live (live from the ASG, I'm sure).
Then practice live from the rook/soph game at 1.
Major tea leafage expected.

Me, too. This is starting to look disturbingly like The Decision II - and in one way it's even worse, because at least LeDiva waited until he was a FA.

Melo forced this. Now he wants NYK to kiss his ring? Screw that.

Like you said, I'll root for him if he lands here. But this whole thing is starting to smell bad.

In other news, I'm downloading the new Radiohead as I type this.

i still dont get why the deal was changed in the first place. why not the 3 way with detroit, that was better for the nets than this deal. how does denver's demands go up when denver is the team running out of time? the new deal imo is less believable than the detroit one.
