Carmelo Anthony Thread (Merging)

SpeedyG · Post #141 » by **SpeedyG** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 11:24 am

This is starting to get ridiculous, and Billy needs to check himself. Latest reports now are saying that the Nuggets WANT another wing player, and to do so, the Nets are talking about trading Devin harris to a third team so we can swap that wing player to the Nuggs.

W....H....A....T?!?!?!?!

We're giving up Favors, Murphy, AND Devin?!? Plus firsts?!?!

Just walk away.

Let the Nuggets cry on their own bed when Melo walks away from their team in FA with them getting nothing back but a measly low 1st rounder assuming they get even that if they do a S&T.

Just walk away.

Let's build this the right way, the way Rod has started it. We do this on our own terms, or we don't do it at all.

I agree even tho your getting Melo I don't see this as a good move for New Jersey. Giving up D. Harris won't allow them to compete this season with a lineup of Farmar/T Will/ Melo/ Murphy/ Lopez with Morrow and a relatively shallow bench. Its definatly good for Denver but I dont think New Jersey should do this

Don't believe it until I see it, one moment we're in there the next moment he doesn't want to come here. I won't believe it until someone other than BSPN reports it.

Also, crap trade, that's way too much to give up for Melo.

How is Harris and Favors for Melo too much to give up?

Devin is not irreplaceable and Favors hasnt played a game yet. What else is in the deal, 1 pick, 2 picks? We dont know the details yet right? I'd assume Bobcats are giving up a pick too, dont think Diaw is enough to get them Harris. So depending on the rest of the package Harris+Favors isnt all that bad.

Dont most of you hate Harris and think Twitt is a better PG anyway? If we keep Murphy this is easily a play-off team this year, even with Farmar starting. Not like an all-star pg is a requirement for a good team. Plus we still have Outlaw to trade for a decent starter if Farmar is not good enough.

Overall though, this deal would have been easier to put together if we never got Outlaw, thanks Thorn.

This is a joke. Harris + Favors and I'm guessing our picks for Melo? Seriously King? Really gonna let us be stuck in mediocrity with no end in sight for 5+ years? I hope to God Melo doesn't sign that extension so this deal doesn't go through.

noobcake · Post #152 » by **noobcake** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 6:20 pm

Farmar/???
Williams/Morrow
Carmelo/Outlaw
Murphy/???
Lopez/???

4 starters and 2 backups? You guys really want Farmar to be running the point? If this trade was Favors + Harris, Nets shouldn't throw in any picks.

Relax... I know we might be giving up a lot but we are really getting a superstar in return, and this is just the beginning. With this trade, we become a more desirable team and this time, we might actually get a chance to sign a star on free agency.

I mean, we have to it somehow right? If it takes Harris, Favors and picks to do it then im down with it. Lets just get it done and move on.

We have to remember, this is what pressure brings. With a new owner that wants to win, moving to a new place, a wider market, and the post Heat saga... People think that teams can still bargain a trade to acquire a star but i think the Nuggets got lucky because this is the start of teams having a superstar to get a better deal. The way teams are built right now, i believe, is the main reason why teams will overpay.

We are not going to Brooklyn and not have a decent team right? At least now, we are an inch closer and the rest depends on Prokhy on how really willing he is to spend.

... Of course, if the deal goes down.

I would think there are more players involved because right now the salaries don't match. It would make sense for you guys to get a player like DJ Augustine back to help at the point.

That would be great. Farmar is good enough to fill in the starting spot if the trade happens but I would love to have Augustin as an option as well. The millisecond Carmelo says hell sign the extension the Nets should sign the papers. As 60 cent pointed out this makes the Nets a worthy spot for future free agents to look at and want to play for. It also improves the team immediately. I really have high hopes for Favors but we know Melo is a monster. Harris has been good but ill part with him for this deal 10 times out of 10. And we lose some draft picks but we already have the most of any team over the next three years. Melo is still very young he can accomplish alot.

What is it with everyone in here and "stuck in mediocrity"??? The team thats put in place now wont even be able to reach mediocrity. Adding Melo now doesnt make the Nets an instant contender but it makes them a whole lot better and attractive for other players to want to play for. We all have high expectations for Favors, but what if he turns out to be the next Sam Bowie? I hope thats not true no matter where he plays, but its a possibility. Why take the chance on the kid when you can have the proven all star???

Ehh, HUmphier, James, Petro? You know...the same back-ups we already have. Plus there is talk that Augistine could be in the deal too So yeah, relax.

Because they have no leverage, we can literally offer Murphy/James and a 1st round pick and that will still be a better offer than any other team in the league can offer. It's nothing to do with the players, it's the leverage we have over the other teams as well as the leverage Melo has against Denver.

And what can we give up for CP3 again after the majority of our tradable assets have gone to a team when it didn't need to?
