[Camelo Thread Part 19] - Nyets won't be used pg 52

[Jitpal]

lmao@ Al_Iannazzone

what's funny about this guy is, he printed a big article about how the nets had not come back into the melo drama the day before someone else said they had been talking for a week with denver. now he wants to pretend that he's tuned into the situation.

this guy calls him out and basically blows up his spot lol

I'm pretty sure that's KnicksGod. -Jitpal

The thing that always baffles me with players who might be mainly concerned with money is, why aren't the advertising revenues factored in?

Suppose Melo has to choose between (i) accepting an extension now with the Nets, and (ii) waiting til the offseason to sign with us. (I'm not saying these are his only choices. I'm just asking you to suppose this for the sake of the argument.) If he accepts an extension with the Nets as per (i) he will be playing for a losing franchise with a small fanbase. He obviously knows that if he wants to win games and play under the bright lights, the Nets are a poor choice. The only reason given why Melo might prefer (i) over (ii) is to cash in on the bigger contract. But Melo obviously knows that he can more than make up for the lost cash in terms of increasing ad revenue.

So why does Melo have any real motivation whatsoever to sign an extension with NJ? He can always sign a max FA contract with us in the offseason, and recoup all his financial losses and more through greater marketing revenue. What am I missing??

dont want to believe Wojo or Iannozzone? What about Hahn?

melo is not going to NJ

i just dont see it

he wotn throw away another prime year when it's no guarantee that the nets will have the capspace to get paul or if paul even wants to team up with melo just to make another 17million. Melo wants to win. He wont piss away another year on a mythic arena while he toils in Newark.

it just wont happen, and i'm very confident in saying that.

OK this is a really big question:

Before the Nets pulled out, they were giving up some type of offer that was similar to the one being reported now but I believe the Nets were getting rid of Petro (bad contract), getting back Rip Hamilton and NOT taking back Renaldo Balkman. Plus there was no mention of 4 picks. We heard maybe 2 or 3.

So the Nuggets call the Nets back -- not the other way around -- and the deal they agree to is WORSE than the one they agreed to BEFORE the Nets broke off talks?

Does anybody else see how illogical that is?

Hahn's reliable. Let them meet. Let them get rejected. Then Denver can toast with Chandler and a 1st. -Jitpal

We are all well aware a meeting is taking place...

[moocow007]

wasnt it

Melo, Billups, Ely, Balkman for Harris, Favors, Murphy, Uzoh and 4 picks?

the nets need a third team to trade murphy

The Cavs or Raptors can send a TPE for Murphy.
NJ could send a pick.

The Nets won't have any picks left after this deal anytime soon. What they would have to find is someone that either of those teams (or maybe the Wolves) want in exchange for taking on the rest of Murphy's contract which is roughly $5 million. No one short of Brook Lopez left on that team would be worth $5 million to any of those teams. They wouldn't even be able to convince the Cavs that they'd take Jamison since the one expiring they have is needed to balance salaries as is.

It will be hysterical if he goes to the nets and then his salary gets rolled back.

[Knicker23]

I don't care how many people would put up a false front and say "Good! Glad he went to NJ, we'd have to give up too much anyway!" - Melo not being in a Knicks jersey would be a huge fail.

"looking to". They were "looking to" meet with him last time as well.

the irony in all of this is that when melo officially rejects the NJN, Donnie might even pull chandler off the table and serve up some money mase, buike

Without shedding Petro, and with taking back Balkman, the Nets' cap position gets much worse than it would have under the previous trade. Much harder now to get Paul. Nearly impossible.

Masai Ujiri is a moron. Billy King is a moron. It looks as though Masai Ujiri is slightly less of a moron than Billy King. -Jitpal

Yes. Trading the whole team for Melo would also be a huge fail. So the bottom line is that it's all on Melo to be smart, don't panic (like the rest of you guys are) and just say "thanks but no thanks" (to NJ). THAT is ALL IT WILL TAKE to have NY not have to give up the whole team, get Melo and have everyone (except Denver and NJ) be happy.

Would Prokhorov bribing the receptionist with a few hundred dollars be considered circumventing the CBA? -Jitpal

its not about who's writing it, its about who is leaking it to the writers. the writers just get used and manipulated in situations like this, they have no choice. and hes saying the same crap everyone else is.
