We have the most underrated owner in sports. That I'm convinced of now.

I'm loving...LOVING...LOOOOVING the tension in the resolution to the Melo sweepstakes. Telling ya, if Melo goes to NJ that is the fourth NBA superstar to pass on the Knicks and use them as leverage to get what they want. THAT says a lot about how superstars look at the organization.

so then why does NY have 4 gms working in the FO?

its the FO job to get the players here.

To work on building a team?

Melo basically has all the power of a FA. He could have delivered himself here with one sentence: "I will be a FA this offseason."

Denver's hand would have been forced, and he would be a Knick. Game, set, match. He chose not to.

Who's to say he wants to be a Knick and only a Knick?


That has been what Sheridan (Who has direct pipe-line into Melo camp has been reporting all season). He also recently reported Melo is wavering now and thinking money above all else.

I don't know how any Knicks fan can still want a guy who is leveraging US to give up key players so he can get paid and on top of the fact that the very act of him getting paid is crippling to this teams ability to improve. Is that the type of personality you want leading your team?

I will personally have a lot of trouble cheering this guy if he becomes a Knick on these terms.

I dunno Sham. I think he's pissed with the way Denver has handled this whole thing. They have attempted to force him some place he didn't want to be and have held him up longer then he wanted to be held. I honestly believe he could care less about Denver. If he wins a chip in NYC his jersey will be retired anyway


how much would you hate someone on our team who did what you want melo to do ?


Chandler, Curry, Felton, Mason, Buke is all I'm willing to part with. They can take it or leave it. They hold no power here. I understand where you're coming from but I'm still salty about that last trade we did with Denver some years back. I just can't let it go


the past has nothing to do with this

blame the NY medical staff for that terrible Mcdyess deal

Weird thing is that they asked Melo about meeting with Dolan and he said that he would look forward to seeing if he really wants them there in NY.

So either he's bluffing or playing with a poker face or NYDN is wrong.

If Melo was bluffing, I'm impressed. You couldn't tell at all that he'd already met with Dolan.

not really clear, article is worded strangely. definitely conference call fri afternoon. but the article could be taken to mean he set up the conference call on thurs night, or he met with melo on thurs night. im thinking it means he set the call up on thurs night




Dolan already met with Carmelo on Thursday night, at least according to the NYDN.


my bad, i didnt click on the link to see the headline before. that clears it up. surprising, but definitely a good sign

Any Melo meeting with Nets won't happen today because Mikhail Prokhorov won't be in LA until tomorrow.

there is no way he's going to let the nets get melo. that's like a double loss for him. he loses melo and the other local team is made relevant.

that's the deal that will happen. we were squeezed a little but we still come out way on top.


I think this is the deal.... line in the sand, for us. I would do it.
