[Camelo Thread]**UPDATE MELO PUSHING FOR KNICKS**- Part 4

[Knicker23]

But he could address this by going to the Nets.

KG comon now, if Melo wanted to be in NJ i think it's pretty widely believed that he would be there right now.

As long as New York is still New York, and Ama're is on this team, Melo will have no problem signing here.... I do think the coaching issue needs to be resolved though, and MDA needs to go. I don't think Melo likes him or his style a whole lot.

Either way, I'd be surprised if Melo isn't a Knick, be it this season or next (knock on wood)

He says he wants Defense too, but yet hasn't agreed to an Extension NJ. IF he really wants to come to NY, then that may just be him hinting at NY Management to get some more Defense (whether through Players or Coaches/System).

I hope that's right. But I honestly still think the Nets are in the game and the Bulls too. I wouldn't rule out a dark horse like Houston.

after last summer strike out, im surprised people still buying the hype prematurely

you should add Clippers to the list too.

Stop. Houston is in no way, shape, or form even remotely in this at all. Not even sniffing around the perimeter.

KG...you are better than this.

Sometimes we know a hell of a lot more than we give ourselves credit for. This is like when people were saying LBJ to Dallas.

Some things are based in reality. Some aren't.

Melo to Houston isn't

I think things could change if/when the CBA talks become heated again. That and our poor play could force Melo's hand. Maybe not likely, who knows, but it's possible. I'd say it's still 50-50 at this point.

Things changing may be a 50/50 (even that is too high), but Melo going to Houston isn't. That's squarely at 0.

[The Rebel]

I remember that it was said that KG was only going to extend if he was traded to the Lakers for an entire year before he was sent to the Celtics.

lebron was supposedly a lock for new York.

UP until the day free agency started the Rockets were sure that they were getting Bosh.

Rasheed Wallace was going to the Knicks regardless of the contract.

Chris Webber only wanted to sign with a big market, and threatened not to report to the Kings, yet resigned and was happy once he did go.

Kobe was thought to be through with the Lakers and close to just quitting on them, now he is winning championships.

None of these guys followed through with what everybody thought and said they were going to do, and instead took an option that appeared to be the best option for them the day they made the decision. I think is that a year is way too early to decide what a player is going to do, and depend on it. Nobody really knows what is going to happen with Melo, reports are that he now wants to work with the Nuggets front office and is giving them the beginning of the season to show him they have a plan. Now whether he is still playing games is anybodies guess, but the truth is if he is working with the Nuggets front office, that does not mean that he is dead set on New York and New York only.

[Fury]

I guess I'll give you LeBron. KG was pretty desperate to get out. Melo really isn't cause he's a FA next year and isn't old. The Rockets liked their chances but it wasn't a given that Bosh was going there. Webber and Wallace are different from Melo in that the Knicks can offer him the max contract.

I think the clear indicator will be if Melo signs the extension. If he doesn't he's set on New York.

[The Rebel]

Things changing may be a 50/50 (even that is too high), but Melo going to Houston isn't. That's squarely at 0.

I would not be so sure about any team, especially not the Rockets, they have pieces that Denver would want, they have one of the top 3 coaches in the league and with Scola, yao, and martin they have some win now pieces that could be very appealing to a guy who really wants to win now.

KG was also on an expiring contract.

Also the Knicks will have to have a huge jump in the cap, or will have to cut $4 million in salary and renounce Chandler. so it is not a given that they will have max cap space, take a look at what cap space cost them last year, it is much more then many even want to give up for melo.

Melo not signing the extension is in no way a guarantee that he is going to go to New York, it just means he is leaving Denver.

[Fury]

I don't think Denver is a bad situation. Why would he leave Denver go to like Houston which is similar if not worse? He obviously wants to go the East Coast and I don't buy New Jersey.

[NYman15]

Melo to ny is not a given but I am more confident in getting him than I was with lebron one good thing was last night some of our young guys played well with fields and gallo

Houston is worse than Denver. On top of that, there has been no interest either way.

If you put a gun to my head, I am still 100% sure he's not going to Houston.

[kane2021]

KG with all do respect you got to stop doing that man. People look at your red tag, and take your emotional opinion and run around like its fact. Then we see it for weeks and weeks get pushed on us thread after thread.

Your just reading between the lines and assuming. And now have some kind of game going on that if you convince yourself and others we have all this competition.... IDK. Its false though. Just like the D'antoni melo thing. Just like the under the table wink wink agreements.

We got young posters that look at your name and run with what you say. But your creating rumors with no merit. Thats almost a form of manipulation man. I like you. Because your a good fan. A true fan. But all this reading between the lines and making things up is causing conflict on the boards.

Going to be a few pages now of bulls and rockets. Fact is, the team with the best chance to land melo this season is denver. And we have more important issues on hand to deal with.

Why is "Carmelo" spelt incorrectly?

That is the way it is supposed to be spelled. The guy in Denver has it wrong.
