[Camelo Thread Part 12] - Melo's list grows? pg. 50

[god shammgod]

frankly I'm tired and bored of this. i think this team has more pressing matters right now than adding melo.

more pressing, yes. more important for the future, no.

"A lot of our guys didn't play that well and you still got your ass whooped. All that Knicks bashing not looking so good now is it?

And to whoever said he hoped the knicks plane crashes, go **** yourself."

I still don't understand why this deserved a warning. That was my only post there and I did not post anything before the game and Bulls fans were talking so much **** before the game. But w.e I'm not going to keep arguing, just going to rip those **** nuggets posters a new one when we get Melo for a bag of cheetos.

that will get you suspended

[Punk]

I feel you. I got suspended on the bulls board for saying I hope they stay healthy which i actually did because i am tired of the excuses every time we beat them. Apparently, their mods took that as an insult.

[Futureisnow]

Can someone please explain to me why I was suspended?
I have never even had a warning before. I didn’t confront anyone and just said what I thought of the situation. It was my first and only post there. I did not even get a response for the post, just suspended. I just got pissed at all the unwarranted knicks hate and belittling of knicks fans. That crazy ass **** rebel suspended me.


This is what I wrote..
It is fairly obvious that Nuggets fans along with the Nuggets front office are feeling a little butthurt and envy NY because they know that it is inevitable that he will end up there. You call it arrogance when we say he's going to be a Knick but it is so obvious that that is where he wants to be and you continue to just be in denial. Your front office really screwed, you are probably going to be low balled by every team that gives you an offer for him now. Ujiri last year with Bosh and now this year with Melo is just priceless. Have fun with Al Harrington for four more years.

I actually remember reading your post shortly after you wrote it and I was going to write that you might want to edit it down a bit. It's probably not a particular word that got you suspended but the post overall. They talk a lot of bleep over there and they're entirely unreasonable but it's their forum. And like God Shammgod said, you don't like it when other fans come in here and talk crap.

I'm starting to think Melo won't be traded at all. I think the Denver FO will sell is as a "oh well we tried" thing to their fans and then try to get them excited for one last playoff showing.

[Future Soldier]

it'd probably be better for all parties involved if Denver stayed stuck on stupid and held on to him for one more futile playoff run. They ain't beating LA or San An in a 7 game series. Eat up those playoff profits for another year and let him go for nearly nothing in the summer...whatever. I just hate the way all this trade chatter has our 2nd main weapon, Chandler, playing like a timid turtle scared to come out of his shell. The man CLEARLY doesn't want to be traded, and I wouldn't be shocked if his play picked up considerably after the trading deadline and he's still here.

[Justdatdude]

Can someone please link me to the most recent articles that said the Nuggets want Chandler? Stop with this trade talk nonsense. It wasn't bothering him earlier in the season so why now? It amaze me how you all pretend to inside these guy's minds and make up ridiculous excuses for them. How do you even defend the argument that someone is playing bad because they don't want to be traded. Smh.

If they don't get their heads out of the clouds on what they'll be getting in return for him, perhaps they will be stubborn enough to hold onto him....but playoffs this season or not, Melo ain't sticking around and there going to have nothing to show for it when that time comes if they don't do something.... I know theyre stupid, but I'm not sure theyre that stupid... making the playoffs this year and appeasing the fans would be moot in the long run after watching him walk, and watching him walk for squat....no way they let the Cavs current situation happen......But I mean, look at what they were expecting from the Nets.... they wanted everything, PLUS NJ to take bad contracts... coming around to what the Knicks have, and what we're willing to offer will be a big wake up to reality for them - i wouldn't imagine they'd pull that trigger quickly......... but even to your point, considering the state of things and how the fans feel about Melo (booing etc), I can't imagine the fans being excited for the delaying of the inevitable.... I think they're just about ready for this to be done with....get it over with already.... Denver is slowly ripping away the bandaid...I think they've dragged it out long enough to where the fans won't be angered anymore, they'll be glad to move on...

was he not offered as part of Donnie's package no homo to Denver? Fields/Wil/1st? I'm sure he heard about that. It's probably not very reassuring as a player to hear your boss claim he's going to resign you this summer, then promptly offer you up in a trade for an upgrade.

and I don't partake in this Gallo vs. Chandler filth that pervades this board, so don't think this is about some personal vendetta I have against the kid. I want both of them to be successful. I dont' care about one player, I care about the Knicks.

I can care less about how you feel about Gallo and Chandler. That isn't the point. This Chandler + Fields deal didn't come out in public to the other day. Sometime last week. Chandler has been playing poor before that. Stop with the excuses. He hears he's in a trade so now he's just going to start playing worse? Didn't he also hear that the Nuggets rejected the offer? So why not go back to normal? Didn't he know we were trying to acquire Melo at the beginning of the season and he was possibly going to be shipped to Denver?

Stop with the excuses. He's a grown man and this isn't the first time he heard about a trade rumor. He's playing horrible. Point. Blank. Period. I really like him. Check my post history and see how I defend him on the constant basis, but poor play is poor play. Not buying no excuses about a professional player being distracted because he was involved in a trade that got rejected. Did he not hear about the Rudy Fernandez rumor?

Every time someone suggests that a player is purposely playing poorly, thus ruining his reputation, earning potential, and status within the team, because he does not want to get traded, it is always the dumbest thing I have read that day.

[Future Soldier]

well then, friend, how else do you explain a guy who went from consistently dropping 17-25 points on any given night to a total liability on offense? Fatigue? Lack of confidence? Weed withdrawals?

actually....wait



hmmm....that last point might be valid.

We're talking about rumors right? In a contract year in which he hear the constant rumors about Carmelo joining the Knicks, it doesn't sink in that he needs to play well to get a big contract from another team because Carmelo might join us? He didn't see David Lee go out there and make sure he grabbed every basket because as much as he loved being there, it was obvious they were looking to replace him? Are people really sold on him being that loyal to the Knicks that he would play his self out of a good contract because he want to be in NY that bad? Smh.

Thanks Soby22

Pretty interesting that a GM would admit that. It says a lot about the feeling of inevitability that is starting to surround Melo to the Knicks.

Also crazy that a GM would admit it given how all the teams are absolutely opposed to it happening according to some people here

So which GM put it out there?
That writer (Sean Deveney) is based in Chicago and frequents games at the United Center. Gar Forman has been with Chicago since 1998. Those two may chat over a brewsky from time to time. My guess is Gar Forman, but who knows?

[dvjnba]

We need to just sit back and let Denver decide what they want to do with Melo.

If they trade him to us then we get him for what we want to give them.

If they decide to keep him then we become a top 2 team in the East next year hands down,

Felton
Gallo
Melo
Fields
Amar'e
S. Williams
Walker
Douglas

Yes that team is better than the Heat in my opinion.

I keep telling people, you put Amar'e and Melo in the pick and roll and then you put Gallo and S. Williams in the corners and just completely kill other teams.

If we sign Melo in the offseason we can use Randolph for something else or here's a thought...we can actually develop him.

Should be an interesting next few weeks.

In claiming that he's making his usual rounds to see who would help his slumping team, Walsh didn't mention Anthony by name. That's not unusual, since he often won't talk specifically about players he might be targeting in a deal.

And Walsh didn't appear to be panicking over his team's current problems - they have matched their season-long sked - and gave no indication he's ready to break up the team by acquiring Anthony.

"We've played better in the last two games," Walsh said, referring to weekend losses in San Antoni and Oklahoma City. "When you get in a period where you're losing, there has to be games where you play better and you might lose, but you show you're playing better. And good things will start happening. I thought that a little bit against the Spurs. But I thought we played much better against Oklahoma City and we probably should have won that game. I'm hoping it gets us on the right track."

I think people are suggesting that he is playing distracted (and possibly with a lack of self confidence) right now due to all the trade chatter and THAT is what is making him play poorly. No one is suggesting that he's purposely dogging it to decrease his trade value.

Really? Is the "no homo" really necessary in there?

[Knickplaya]

Man, Denver and Carmelo are playing so well. Especially Melo.

[St Knick]

Donnie's package... LMFAO
