That's extra funny because it looks like he is saying "Gaffney" at the beginning.

[rammagen]

It is on Tony to prove it. hell Sheridan (on a online chat) cited Melo directly as saying he wanted to go to NY so his family can be close to home.
Come on Toney beat that

so Im sure there is something to it, although not a guarantee obviously

TBH, if he doesn't come here, I'd prefer to see him go to LA. Denver woudn't though. LA probably doesn't want to lose one of their 7ftrs either.

[Fury]

No chance the Lakers trade for him when they barely have depth at the PF/C position. Not to mention that those "picks" are going to be **** as well.

Yes. That player should know something about Melo that Melo is not aware. See Melo believes that he wants to come to Knicks, but actually Melo wants to go to Lakers. It is only a matter of time that Melo realizes he actually wants Lakers. Then we will have a deal.

carmelo joining the lakers = no ring for lebron

lmao

You make the art of knucklehead look so effortless.

[stuporman]

That's right trollmod, keep that beachball up all by yourself, keep it up!

[K_ick_God]

No way Denver trades him to Lakers, no way Denver wants Odom as the centerpiece, no way Denver wants bad picks from Lakers.

Non-

Starter

All around.

espn published that article with quotes from the anonomyous nba player

no need to get on me for just saying what that player said

[stuporman]

Don't let it fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, Tony Gaffney from Turkey and a blog that cites an anonymous player has you at 'sure there is something to it"?

Pretty weak threshold there, imo -- that's about as close to zero sources -- one off the record, one out of the hemisphere -- as you can get on any sort of a major news story.

His anonymous NBA player could be Mozgov, and he might not have even used a translator for all we know.

As for Gaffney -- no names that come out like moths to flames to the press asserting 'Coveted Free Agent/Trade Bait Player REALLY LIKES ME SO IMMA TELL YOU ALL WHAT IS REAL' has yet to be correct in any instance. Reminds me of David Ortiz 'Pedro Ain't Going To No Mets!"

I mean, the only thing worse would be a story based on 'a person familiar with Anthony's thinking'

It's bad, empty reporting and warrants none of the deference that you seem to be willing to accord it.

please, that dudley tweet over the summer had people popping the champagne bottles

here, we now have 2 different nba players bringing up the possibility of LAL, i think its enough to warrant some attention

GTFO and STFU

[Knicks_Fan2]

Do you guys really think the nuggets would hand the lakers multiple rings that way? They will trade him to the east if they trade him at all.

[knicks742]

The lakers, like the magic, don't have the assets to beat a Knicks offer. If either team thought they had a shot at melo, why did they trade their 2011 first round picks? I guess we can't beat an odom, 2013 and 2015 first round pick or a Richardson, 2013 and 2015 first round picks. Lol.
