How would he lose $60m?
Actually his options are to go to NJ, extend, not extend and sign with the Knicks as a free agent ... or exercise his $18.5m player option for 2011-12 and do this all again next season.

Yes, I think they would. Complicated NBA trades are negotiated all the time only to fall apart over 1 piece.

They will keep playing that angel until the last moment. If Melo holds out he will go to NY and Denver has to settle. If he doesnt, he can end up in NJ or somewhere else I guess. Dont be fooled though, this is about what Melo wants and if he is willing to let that extention go in order to play where he wants to play. Where he wants to play is still up for debate, but at the end of the day he controls his future not Denver.

Hehe, fair enough. I'm old school though, I don't "change" my team just because I move to a different city, or some son of a b.... Oklahoma business man buys our franchise
Since I live in NYC, I do watch a few Knicks games, but I'm pretty much a neutral observer until Seattle gets a team again. As such, I'd be happy to go watch Melo play in Brooklyn too, it's no skin of my d...
I ain't going to f'ing Newark though.

They ve been working on a Melo deal since the beginning of the season. I am 100% certain the Nets checked to make sure that he is ok with playing for them.

Whether we get Carmelo or not won't kill the future of the Knicks. The team will improve with or without him.
It really does seem you are more focused on just "1-upping" the Knicks instead of actually rooting for your own team to succeed. I suggest you take some of that energy and put it into something more productive.

Jetset wrote:[You spend all that time quoting and typing a some-what of a response that you fail to show how I so quote "show the lack of intelligence and understanding". You shouldn't have even bothered posting quite honestly. You can't count on Amar'e knees to hold up. Look what Kobe is going through on one knee and Amar'e has both knees screwed up. Point is you don't have a lot of time to build around him and still compete.
And no, Carmelo going to the Nets wont kill your future, but it certainly hurts it. Since Leon Rose is behind this trade Melo to NJ possibly means that Paul will join him in NJ. And it would take at least two years for another big superstar to be available, which leads me back to you not having alot of time.

Ujiri is a red headed orphan for possibly getting Favors and Batum for a disgruntled Carmelo... this is asinine.
as of this season Denver could possible have a starting five of ....
Ty Lawson
Smith/Afflalo
Batum
Favors
Nene
