Stefan Bondy: Trying to make his franchise relevant, Prokhorov has made his players feel insignificant http://nydn.us/eLhvUS 1 minute ago

Yup. This is exactly what I said the other day. Nets are screwing up.

The players are just workers, workers do their work and don't complain...that's it...at least 20 years ago in Russia.

[TheBluest]

she had to wait years after having a kid to even get him to marry her. she aint in control.

She's already gone on record saying it would be cool if Melo played in New York but she will support him wherever he goes....she just wants him to be happy. Now if all that equals only New York oky doky but no one knows and she's not one to engineer the negotiations of where he goes.

look i don't totally believe any report but i would think he'd want to be here because we're the much bigger stage and the better team. you could be in the finals with the nets and this city hardly cares. they're not going to go to brooklyn and be popular overnight. there's already a well established team in this market, it's going to take awhile to build their fanbase. also, they can plan for chris paul all they want, actually getting him is not guaranteed though. otherwise lebron would be here.

I disagree because the move into the hood creates buzz and front running opportunities galore. The team will not only have Jersey heads but BK and surrounding boroughs ready to stake claim as an OG fan. They will never top New York Knicks but most certainly can be Giants/Jets and Yankees/Mets with the following strong enough especially with wins following. Now if you're telling me if Melo goes to the Nets and they continue to be some gutter team why are we Levitra for him almost at premium costs?

Carmelo has leverage. The Nuggets won't let him walk away this summer and if he says "Knicks or nothing," Denver will cooperate.

Alex Kennedy's Twitter, who knows if the guy has credibility, but just posting it because it could be accurate. Sounds like something Sherridan would tweet.

[Knicker23]

I'm pretty sure Denver having no interest, not getting back to Donnie and not wanting to deal with the Knicks would not be considered 'Medium'. . . that would be 'cold' . . . . .

so for Isola to say that, as he just tweeted, shoulld make Knicks fans 'somewhat'excited' for what it's worth

This

Prok calling Billy King on the hour every hour telling him to get him Melo or he'll fire him and hire a GM that can get him Melo. Guy is probably willing to risk losing all those assets for nothing in order to have Melo on his team when they open up their new arena in Brooklyn.

[Knickplaya]

If the Nets are out of it, can anyone beat an offer of Chandler, Douglas, 1st Round Pick, Curry for Harrington, Melo (salary fillers on both ends to make it work).

Yeah but even then asshola manages a dig by saying "well done" and implying that the Knicks chances are done for.

As for Knicks involvement in Melo-drama, a person involved in the negotiations, when asked if the Knicks are "hot, medium or cold" said.....

To me, medium means Fields and/or Chandler are off the table. And if that's medium, that means we're smart. And if Melo is willing to go to free agency, that means he too is ready to be on board with a winning team ... the strongest team he can go to.

That means he is happy the Knicks are medium.

Isola knows NOTHING and is only tweeting it for some semblance of attention.

Seems like the tide is shifting slowly.

[rwill784]

Melo-
Offense can run through him has been for 7 years so check
He makes everyone on that squad better everyone isn't Nash with assists and Melo has pretty good assist totals for a true forward so...check
How many times has Melo been clutch? Is that a trick question he can take the game over with the best of them he even embarrassed LBJ last year when they went head to head...check
Has he proved it in the playoffs..my dude look up his playoff stats and you tell me! so by YOUR list he is a franchise player!!

1. The offense has never, not once been run through Melo. It was run through Miller, Iverson, then Billups. Melo has never ran the offense. He is the lead scorer, not lead playmaker.

2. Melo makes no one better. Cmon man. The best you can say is that he draws defensive attention, but he does not actively make anyone better.

3. Yes, Melo is clutch.

4. He has not proved it in the playoffs, since he has gotten out of the first round once.

So he meets one of the three.

Aight dude, I guess we can agree to disagree. It's all good though my man, opinions differ I guess. But one question...Is KG a franchise player? Cuz he fit everything you just said about Melo. Oh and Dirk.

[Hitman33]

I want to bring up an angle that maybe hasn't been discussed.

It's about the rumor that Melo would agree to sign an extension with NJ.

He never once has said he would sign an extension with any one team publicly. So we know it didn't come from him. What he has said though is that he would not sign the extension to stay in Denver. This wasn't said verbatim but was reported and his inaction says so much so.

So where is this info. coming from?

NJ has to trust what denver tells them as far as this matter is concerned because they can't contact Melo himself (tampering). Maybe someone can shed some light on the legality of NJ being able to contact his agent.

Now from what I understood they have to agree to the trade and then NJ can legally contact Melo himself. Which would explain why no agreement on a deal has been made. Denver inquires about signing an extension with Melo when the deal is close and IMO he declines and they back away. They've backed off twice when the deal was almost set and made public reasons other than melo declining which would be the smart move, so when and if they deal with NY (more than likely the only team he will agree to extend with) their not in a compromised position from a negotiations stand point.

So every time I hear of these supposedly close trades falling through the only obvious answer to me is Melo won't sign an extension with NJ. Only one front office knows if the guy will sign an EXT. or not Denver.

I don't want Melo on this team unless it is as a free agent.

But I honestly think you probably hit the nail on the head.

Also, and what do you guys think it takes for the Nets "to be out of it " for the Nuggets to demand Brook Can't Rebound Lopez

[knicks742]

Isola is a hater. He would much rather tweet Knicks are frozen. The fact he is saying medium is probably the most encouraging news today.

I though he compared the deal to chicken and said he likes his well done. lol

I disagree because the move into the hood creates buzz and front running opportunities galore. The team will not only have Jersey heads but BK and surrounding boroughs ready to stake claim as an OG fan. They will never top New York Knicks but most certainly can be Giants/Jets and Yankees/Mets with the following strong enough especially with wins following. Now if you're telling if Melo goes to the Nets and they continue to be some gutter team why are we Levitra for him almost at premium costs?

Speaking strictly in terms of winning and losing, I can't see why Melo agrees to go to NJ when he could play next to Stat and Felton. The situation in Jersey is not going to be that much better than what he's dealing with in Denver. He'll have the same PG that's on the decline along with a SG in Rip who has taken a big decline in production as of late. Chris Paul? That knee is looking like a real problem as of late. So yeah, NJ might promise the ability to get Paul too next year but will that really be enough to make them a contender?

But for now, and the foreseeable future, Melo is going to be the only option for that team when it comes time to score in the clutch...sorta like he is in Denver. I'm not saying he's a Lebron type of guy, but we should consider that maybe he doesn't want to be "the man" and would prefer to play alongside someone who can take a lot of the pressure off his shoulders (e.g. Amare).

You can give all the reasons in the world why he'll be just as big a star in NJ and subsequently in BK, but do you really see a move to NJ being a smart move in terms of coming closer to winning a 'ship?

All it takes is for NJ to be unable to get a guarentee from Melo that he'll extend. That and convincing their owner that making the trade w/o the extension in place is a risk that will set them back for years. Once NJ is incapable of getting that, and Denver isn't reasonable in lowering its demands so NJ can rent Melo, then before you know it time has expired and it's too late.

It's annoying because you're looking for "news" but really all you're doing is getting inundated with speculation. Nothing is certain until it's certain.
