Knicks Concerned Carmelo Anthony's Back Issue Could Be Seaso

[vallen]

Cut Amare and Bargnani, trade Hardaway and both Smiths, give the bulk of the minutes to Larkin, Early, Acy, Shumpert and Aldrich. It's the only sensible thing to do.

only problem with shump is that means he'll be seeking more money after this season

What's the alternative, stunt his development so they can sign him for cheaper? They made their bed by not working out an extension before the season, now they have to lie in it.

shumperts just not very good. i think they will live with it.

It's finally time. Look out Philly, look out

Worst thing a man can have is back problems. Could act up at any time and linger for the rest of your life. This is not something to be excited about. Im actually worried because this came out of left field.

Guess life really do change once you hit 30. Lol

It's officially time.

Fear not the tank. The tank means you no harm.

Not even this guy can stop it now.

Even if healthy sit out Melo.
Train your but off. Fluency in the system is still first priority.
You sit out. Come back in tremendous shape. Fluent in the system.

Clean Tanking I like...

you have a built in excuse for sucking.

We manage to draft Okafur or Towns, and have a rested Carmelo in tow in a the less than scary east.

I say that's enough to attract a top free agent or two...

He's been our second best player this year.

If season long, let him rest for an extended period of time. Don't rush back.

If Melo has any lingering back issues, just shut him down. It's actually the perfect opportunity to do so as well.

[Dr. Detfink]

Shut him down before that contract becomes Amar'e Part 2.

[Guano]

Okafor drawing Tim Duncan comparisons... I dunno how you can pass that up

This guarantees us the 2nd pick.

[Diggr14]

With the 2nd pick, the New York Knicks select..... Frank "The Tank" Kaminsky

Too late. Is it me, or does Melo seem like he now knows he got paid and he's probably going to go through the motions until the team starts to get pieces around him. Maybe its the injury, but when ive watched he's looked disinterested... and not like a superstar.

His numbers after the first few games were fantastic.

We comin' for that #1 pick

It's in the cards. They did a 30 for 30 for us, next year 2015, commemorates 30 years since we won the lottery. Illuminati, baby.

I think we're all worried about that. I really hope he'll be out for the season even if he recovers quickly. It would be pointless to try to get him back into the lineup when he's ok and make a risk of same injury in future greater. We should do everything to minimize it. It can get really ugly under the basket with all the pushing and showing, I really don't want to watch him take the unnecessary beating in the season that gets us nowhere. He's way too valuable and it would be just stupid to end with another Stoudamire scenario if we have the chance to do everything possible to avoid it. Sitting out the season also saves his knees, shoulder,... and he'll be probably damn motivated after lost year, coming into the next season.

What's my point to buy this season's league pass?






















For the better of NBA!

So whens his timetable for return??

[DaGawd]

So whens his timetable for return??

Day to Day, but knowing our medical staff don't be surprised to hear he's out for the season any day now....Or out for a significant chunk of the season

I hope he's out until his knee is healed
