[Camelo Thread Part 7]

[moocow007]

What about a 3 way trade?

Denver gets: Favors, Gallo, Randolph, 2 1st round picks.

NJ gets: Harrington, Billups

NY gets: Carmelo

lol@ Harrington being the face of the franchise

SAS is hit or miss as far as I know. Didn't he swear left and right Kobe would be a knick?

[aggo]

This Melo madness is officially now on Lebron James/He Got Game level.

Media is so freaking crazy in this country/world. Journalists should have to apply for a license and there should be a board that governs ethics. Too many erroneous articles and you get suspended.

If you look at the Lebron James' situation/decision - every journalist was wrong with the exception of Steven A. Smith. And he was probably just lucky. So why do we buy into any of this?

Stephen A actually guaranteed the Knicks during the season and then said the Heat 2 days before Lebron announced his decision but Stephen A has been most right

SAS said Lebron was going to Miami like 3 weeks before "The Decision"

and was laughed off this board harddddddddddddddd

i dont have time to look the articles up right now

but I clearly remember from the late summer time it was one of AR and Gallo, and then come fall time, it was swtiched to they can have both but not fields

dude when i asked what best NY offer was, I remember you yourself said eddy/gallo/1st rd pick from what you had heard


and in the fall sheridan had the article that they can have both gallo and AR, but not fields...DEN may be on crack, but like i said, ny changed its mind on what was willing to be offered (from late summer time, to fall, etc), and I guess who can blame them, no one thought AR would be garbage

So you are mad at Donnie for improving the offer?

FisolaNYDN Frank Isola
Amar'e on Knicks vying 4 Melo: "We’re playing well.I’m not sure what the logistics are as far as a deal so I don’t know what’s going on"

Watch Asshola turn that into Amar'e not wanting Melo (again)

[Knicker23]

There's only so much Donnie can do with a team that doesn't "like our assets" aka "doesn't want to deal with us" . . Donnie can offer everything we've got, and there's no reason to think he hasn't, but if Denver sees it as 'giving in' by sending Melo here - that is out of Donnie's hands. .

I too will feel disappointed in Donnie if he doesn't get Melo here, but at the same time, I doubt there is much more Donnie could have done or offered that would have changed the situation. . it's been out of his hands from the get go. . if there's someone to blame, it will be Melo for not holding out on a trade to the Knicks.

no but i can see why melo thinks NY isnt interested with waffling offers and no reports in the last few weeks now of any new offer

[GONYK]

How is that waffling? The core of the trade is the same, except now they improved it by adding Randolph.

This is like when you said Melo doesn't want to come because of the asbestos. You are reaching.

I think Melo and his advisers are pretty sophisticated. And even an unsophisticated person can see the Knicks have not made any moves to improve this team because they are waiting to see how this whole Melodrama all plays out.

If Melo really thought the Knicks didn't want him - do you really believe he wouldn't have signed his extension yet?

if donnie cant land melo, its a bigger failure than lbj

lbj never wanted to come here
melo is clamoring for 5 months to come here

his frustration with you isn't what you're arguing. it's the fact that you choose to accept one type of article as gospel (donnie is incompetent) and reject all others (denver never gave us a chance), despite them all having equally ambiguous credibility.

again, it's not the point that you argue that pisses people off. it's the way you choose to believe the articles that speculate that donnie is an idiot, followed by a roll eyes smiley and a 'wake up donnie', and choose to not believe the articles that suggest otherwise, despite them all being equally unsubstantiated.

also, you troll a lot as a mod

I think you need to support your premises before you ask people to debate your conclusions.

so then why do teams pay GMs millions per year? its the job of the gm to get the player

Talking to you is like talking to a child.

As has been said before, it takes more then 1 willing party to negotiate. Walsh could come out publicly and say here's our offer or even leave Denver's Front Office a voicemail, but if they don't return a call, or hell even send Walsh an email, then a deal can't be made. For that you can't fault Walsh for not bothering to make a new offer. If he's made calls to their Front Office and been given the cold shoulder then screw them. If they end up calling Walsh back at the deadline then you lowball the sh*t outta them for not dealing with you in the first place.

[GONYK]

Not in this case. In this case, Denver doesn't want to deal with us. Therefore, only Melo can force the issue.

You aren't this dense. I don't know why you are pretending to be.

Where is this "Melo doesn't think we want him" stuff coming from?

Melo: "NY is playing well right now. I don't think they're looking at me They wouldn't want me to come in there and mess what they have up''

After his NY comment, Melo then said, "That's what I've read so.''
