It's going DOWN TOMORROW!!! Or another, later time. Or not at all.

In any event, the fight continues here.

Give me young talent, damn it!

I'm starting to worry that this deal won't get done. Something major is holding up this trade whether it's Ryan Anderson, picks, who knows?!?!... but whatever it is, this deal has the perfect make-up to fall apart! It should have been done by now for crying out loud. Maybe now that Houston has won Melo over, they might be banking on us buying him out if it all falls thru in which he'll obviously choose Houston.

To Haw-

Someone else could get off to a bad start.

Melo could simply decide that he will expand his NTC waive list.

I know he didn't have a good playoffs but Anderson was still capable of destroying us lol.

because he's one of the most effective and clutch catch and shoot players in the league and he's got a post game and ISO game that can be relied on

he's almost never had real playmakers. In denver he had a couple and they won. often.
in Houston he would have

This.

'Melo can still be devastating as the 2nd/3rd option on a good team. In Houston, he would be motivated to show everyone he's still a top NBA talent (which he is). They will convince him to play mostly PF and he will thrive in that role because most of the guys defending him will be just a step too slow to be able to contest him consistently well.

You all will see. Whenever 'Melo had a legit PG finding him in rhythm. 'Melo needs to mix up his offense to be most effective. A few isos, a few open three's on the break, and a few pick and pop quick hits. Then he gets the occasional offensive put-back and dive to the hole. When motivated and feasting, 'Melo will rebound and defend better, especially at the 4 spot.

Since the year we had Kidd and won 54 games, 'Melo has been underachieving and hasn't been motivated. He's got 2-3 very good years left in Houston, barring injury. You all will see.

We won't regret trading him because we're on diverging paths, but we will realize, once again, how terrible our front office has been since 'Melo has arrived in maximizing his talents.

Some short memories here.

In the past decade not a single prominent player wanted to be a part of this toxic franchise. Melo did. He actually wanted to play here in front of the NY fans. When all other stars preferred to taunt us and punk us.

He wasted his prime by playing here with at best a bunch of has beens as his top supporting talent. Amare, Chauncey, Rose and Noah, Bargnagni (lol)!.

Its not his fault he couldnt get any of his superstar buddy's to join him. It wasnt his responsibility anyway. Walsh, Grunfeld, Mills, Jackson, these guys are paid millions to build the team. Theyre to blame, not Melo.

Just not sure where all the Melo hate comes from honestly...

The trade, D'Antoni and Lin(which is the biggest reach I have ever seen).

We aren't buying him out. If something is holding up the trade my guess is that it's D'Antoni

What if we started LFT at SF?

Rondo/Frank
Lee/THJ
LFT/Kuz
Melo/KOQ
KP/Willy

Tell me we don't win a championship. Wooooooooooooooo!

"LMAO

I just named 2 1st ballot HOF dudes with an insane 3rd & 4th option.

But hey Melo didn't play BOS so they were better."

And i just named 4 hall of famers on that Boston team. Many people think Ainge should be in too. Bird, Parrish, McHale and DJ. You named Kobe and Pau, plus Odom and Bynum. I'm sorry but the Celtics were way better. Played much better competition too and nobody sat out because they were tired or they weren't paid enough money.

Gonna sting watching my boy ball out for a another team. But this fanbase never embraced him the way they should have he was always made out to be the scapegoat and the bad guy.but I guess we can put our hopes into a non existent tank lol I'm with the youth movement tho gonna be a real **** 5 years until a another star wants to come here. And then another 2 until we want him gone :lol:
