[Camelo Thread Part 18] - Al Iannazone (Nets Are Back Pg 77)

[Fat Man]

Wouldn't be surprised if Melo plays along and actually chats with Prokorov (if talks get serious), if nothing else, to put one last wave of pressure on Donnie.

The man wants his extension. All the leaks that he's "upset" with the Knicks, combined with all his quotes mentioning the extension... he has shown his hand. No waiting for FA.

Get it done Donnie/Dolan/Zeke!!

I love the Donnie is gone argument. Let's Isiah produced nothing but losing seasons - despite spending like a hooker with a John's stolen credit card. And Walsh has produced a playoff team, despite having at 11 million of Isiah's remaining dead weight on his roster - and keeping his team at the cap, with Dolan paying zero in luxury tax. Dolon lost money under the I-hole and is making money with Walsh.

If Dolan fires Walsh, he's the biggest fool in professional sports. And he's gonna lose a lot of fans - like me. Enough is enough.

+1 im picketing in front of MSG, the Knicks practice facility, outside Dolans Home in westchester and setting up a Fire Isiah, I hate Dolan page on facebook and twitter

I'll go as far as to cancel my cablevision cable, online, and phone services and switch to Verizon even if that costs me double to do so!!

it'll be time to make sure Dolan's life is a living hell-hole

[nyknicks2k2]

Nuggets trying to bluff with an off suit 2 and 7.

Nice try.

The biggest issue is that the Nuggets know Dolan is willing and obviously capable of forcing a Melo deal to happen. I don't think they are bluffing for Walsh. I think it's for Dolan.

dolan is gonna force it to happen, so is their owner though. soon these games will be all done and they'll be forced to work out a deal everyone can live with.

Hopefully, though we're the one with "all the pressure" to land Melo and the idiot owner.

Scary position.

I love the Donnie is gone argument. Isiah produced nothing but losing seasons - despite spending like a hooker with a John's stolen credit card. And Walsh has produced a playoff team, despite having at least 11 million of Isiah's remaining dead weight on his roster - and keeping his team at the cap, with Dolan paying zero in luxury tax. Dolon lost money under the I-hole and is making money with Walsh.

If Dolan fires Walsh, he's the biggest fool in professional sports. And he's gonna lose a lot of fans - like me. Enough is enough.

Yes. I think it is obnoxious that some people here equate signing Melo with Walsh's survival to the degree that they certify that as a reasonable assumption whether it is true or not.

Let's be adults and put this into perspective because Walsh is an adult and deserves our respect.

Should anything come down to Dolan interceding or Dolan making Melo the prerequisite to extending Walsh, OK fine, then he's a moron owner.

But under no circumstances should anybody here wetting their panties imply that Walsh should compromise his professional judgment and integrity to satisfy your lust for a deal or to capitulate to any supposed ignorant notions held by an owner (which is still just hearsay and may be completely untrue).

DW will do what is the respectable action. If his authority is undermined, then he'll cross that bridge when the time comes. Until then, some of you need to stock up on Depends and quit worrying you namby pambys.

BTW, reading all these comments and the thread title makes the Nets sound like a really bad herpes sore that just won't go away days before a big date.

Stupid Nyets.

Donnie Walsh, when asked if he has deals on the table he could make right now: "None of your business." With a chuckle

Donnie Walsh played his cards close to vest prior to Knicks game vs. Atlanta, though he did talk up how Eddy Curry has looked in scrimmages.

John Wallace, yes the former Knick, is here. He recently talked to Melo who said he wants to play for Knicks. "But then who doesn't" JW said

Some of you need to get your heads out of the ground......"I wont shed a tear if he goes to NJ" "go on Melo go to NJ, I dare you" etc etc........ you guys act like we don't need him.... Like if he goes to NJ we can brush it off and move on to another route that would lead to the same destination as landing melo would have - NO. . . I won't say landing Melo will make or break the next 5 years of Knicks basketball, or is life and death, but as far as the next few years are concerned - I'd say it's a little below that level....

Do I think NJ is a threat right now, not right now....... but lets quit acting like we're fine with Melo going else where, 'he wants to put himself there, damn go ahead' ' we'll find our own way'.... no. We don't land Melo we sink back into mediocrity .500 basketball and miss a huge chance to improve this team by large large measures....

Don't fool yourselves by taking the fact that some think it's a given that he'll come here, or that going to NJ means we'll be okay.... we need him badly.

good post...it'll be more mediocrtiy until the hope of 2012 fa

none of those guys make it to FA, it will be another Bidding War exactly a year from now. Except with a lot more competition, and higher bids...

I hope Donnie gets this done you do have to worry about Dolan getting in this doing whatever it takes

Source tells me nets are out and have been..."this is Denver driving knicks price up."

[Allan Houston]

Are people still really buying that Melo would even consider signing with the Nets and that Prokhorov would seriously waste his time, knowing that he'd never sign the extension there?

[nyknicks2k2]

Meh.
