No where does he even indicate anything about a trade, non-trade or trade insinuation or even close to a relation in words that can be described as a rough translation? Confusing:

Walsh: Trade Isn't On Way For Knicks
Knicks president Donnie Walsh insists that a trade is not on the horizon involving the struggling team.

New York has lost six consecutive games.

"We've played better in the last two games," Walsh said.

"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."

Walsh never mentioned Carmelo Anthony by name, but he usually talks in generalities when it comes to trade targets and rumors.

"You can look around the league and the leading teams even go through (a losing streak)," he said. "That's going to happen. But the ability to get out of it is the most important thing. And I saw signs in the last two games where we can get out of it."

The Nets dropped out of the race for Anthony last Wednesday and the belief around the league is that the forward will eventually land in New York, his preferred destination.

So I'm not the only one. I saw the title and said that doesn't sound like Donnie. Read the article.... nothing about a trade mentioned at all

Now we just need Nuggets to start sucking (again) so Denver doesn't get this false notion that Melo could resign.

thank you (i'm assuming) KG for changing that WT title to the appropriate "Walsh not panicking over Knicks' losing streak' and not the Melo insinuation that the article did not suggest.

It would be great if we could trade for Melo right now so he can debut on Thursday against the Heat. We could really use the firepower. The great game that we know we are going to need from Gallo or Chandler for a win is just an average game for Melo. -Jitpal

We don't need Melo for this one. We will beat the Heat on TNT on Thursday night. Book it.

"If we can make the team better, I'll try to do that," Walsh said. "If you can't make the team better, why would you do the deal. I don't want to do a deal for the sake of doing a deal. I don't want to give up the whole team for a player.
"The question is: 'Is there anything out there that can make you a better team by what you perceive you need?' " Walsh added. "I haven't seen anything I can trade for that would make us a better team right now."
Walsh instead pointed out their greatest need -- a beast of a center.
Marc Gasol is a restricted free agent this summer and on the radar.
"We can use another big guy, that's for sure," Walsh said. "I usually have five 4's and 5's and we have three on this team. I haven't told any of you all year we have every position covered."
In assessing his big men, Walsh said he no longer includes Anthony Randolph or Eddy Curry because "they don't play."
If they sign Anthony as a free agent, it could come at the cost of restricted free agent Wilson Chandler, who may not be able to be retained, pending the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Knicks have $15 million of cap room in 2011. Under the old CBA, Chandler, if they don't renounce his rights, would have a $8 million cap hold. However, they can open up another $3 million if they trade Randolph for a first-round pick and another $4 million if Ronny Turiaf opts out of the final year of his contract.
Walsh said the uncertainty of the CBA could lead him to do a deadline deal.
Asked about the worry of waiting for summer, Walsh said: "Comfortable? I'm comfortable we'll be better off than a lot of other guys. We're below the cap now and proportionally if the cap goes down, the value of the players goes down, payrolls go down. We'll still be in a good position that way. But it may be a factor."
The Knicks' leverage prompted an anonymous general manager to say Sunday in a Sporting News item that Anthony eventually winding up a Knick is "inevitable."
Walsh said he wouldn't comment because the GM didn't put his name to it.
"What general manager was quoted?" Walsh asked. "Because you're going to quote me on my answer. So which general manager was quoted? When they put their name behind it, then I'll answer it."

Yeah but it ain't tennis my g.
If we can keep these "pieces" around Amare/Melo/Ray, we'd be a top 3 team in the East hands down.
So I understand your sentiment but Walsh knows what he's doing and I think he's learned a lot since last year. I trust his judgement completely on this. The truth is, we don't know what Denver wants and we don't know what we've offered. If Melo is available to us, we will get him. But Denver holds all the cards. Melo has done his part. Donnie is doing his.

Wow. That's totally on point. The Nuggets want a deal like the Nets were offering.

The message that I take from this quote is no deal unless the Nuggets dramatically lower their asking price.
