[Camelo Thread Part 21] - Knicks Met With Melo Thursday

[Falstaffxx]

That's true, but we know Billups and Fields aren't scrubs, and we're hoping Mozgov becomes a good player.

which part of denver still wants fields + mozgov you did not hear? denver wants, denver gets. dolan is bending over and opening up his cheeks as we speak.

I saw a new poster claim that's what they want, and then I saw his post refuted by another poster. What info are you going by on this? In any event, I agree that if Fields or Mozgov were included, it would be a problem - Fields because of the way he plays and Mozgov because of his potential and the fact that he's our only legit center. I would hold firm on keeping Mozgov and one of Fields or Gallo.

"I love gallo but at this point gallo has a carmelo game once or twice every 5th game. Melo has that
point output every game"


yeah, but on how many shots.

What scares me is what Gallo can become with a coach who will use his talents correctly for the betterment of the team vs a coach that uses the team's style to fit the player.

carmelo still shoots 45% from the field and 83% from the line that is pretty effecient. also what people aren't taken into consideration in 4th qtr scoring where melo is one of the best finishers in the league and can make shots late when the defense intensity rises. Gallo right is too streaky to make a big enough impact late in playoff games

I never said anything about a max player...but there is only one team that has 3 max players and that was unprecedented. I think we are getting greedy...ok so we'll have Melo, A'mare, young talent and money to throw at a very good player. What's with this 3 max or bust bs? It's mind boggling that people are still complaining about possibly getting A'mare and Melo, yet ruining our chances at a 3rd max player...astonishing. Over Gallo and Chandler? Really???

this has nothing to do with being greedy. amare+melo with bunch of scrubs = fail.

A bunch of scrubs? We'd have Carmelo Anthony and A'mare Stoudamire...Chauncy Billups, he's not bad right? Fields, Mozgov, Douglas...a pick this year, a few 2nd rounders (we see what Walsh can do with those)...and some cap flexibility. I just don't know what else you want? We can't have our cake and eat it too...what is the alternative? Miami at 41-15 has 2 great players, 1 very good player, and a bunch of scrubs. This is a stars league...we saw what happened to Ewing, no 2nd star...now we might get two of the best and it's not good enough?

[Rucari23]

since everyone is here, in this thread, vote FIELDS for rookie.

[rm57]

Can people stop talking about 3 MAX Players. Is what the HEAT did the NEW measuring stick to achieve championships?

absolutely not. boston is the way to go. boston lineup has three players that they drafted/got as rookies. we will have nobody.

Perkins/Davis/Rondo??/Pierce

Perkins is gone, Davis is alright


Who else they got?

[GONYK]

Let's just say that the Knicks make the deal for melo in order to sign another superstar we can just sign cheap role players and go over the cap so then a possible sign and trade for Paul or Howard could happen.

WTF are you talking about?

You want to trade for CP3 or Howard with cheap role players?

[drp07644]

if the trade goes through, gallo is going to torch the knicks in the next nuggets vs knicks game.

lol

AS bart scott said "CAN'T WAIT"!!!!!!!!

so you'd rather see denver win with gallo then the knicks without him ?

you really can't grasp what he's saying? he's saying can't wait. as in BRING IT ON....

What do we have left to sign and trade for Howard? Bill Walker?

Happy to say I was in the 'Chandler crew' - these Gallo lovers are embarrassing, seriously.

I'm a big Chandler fan but hey I won't be bitter if the Knicks trade him. The Gallo lovers are getting out of control.

You are missing the point entirely.

This has nothing to do with Gallo. Everything to do with Melo being a b*tch.

Get it straight.

hahn and fisola twitter. denver still wants fields and mozgov. they don't want chandler.

[kingmalaki]

Hilarious that some are hating Melon for wanting to get all of his money. The rumored package is still not enough for a top 10 player. And you are arguably getting a upgrade at PG (short term). Why should Melo shoulder the risk so you guys don't have to give fair value for him?

Come'on we have fields and Moz.

Not yet we don't. Watch Denver come back and ask for more.

Dolan should have said take it or leave it.... final offer.

[Smoke24]

Sarcasm in this thread is Great....

All in all though, whatever happens, I hope it happens soon, so we can get on with the rest of our season.

And 1 more thing... **** Denver. That is all...

I think both of you are misinterpreting what most of this discussion is about.

[N8Knick12]

I just got back from dinner to see a new thread with 70+ pages.
Can someone please give me an update?

[NYman15]

Just to let y'all know landry fields is representing us tonight with i believe 15 points and his efficient self

[NJ_YANKEE_45]

FIelds played well tonight.

[Letsbereality]

not only we are not getting a third max, our team is reduced to amare+melo plus scrubs.

i hold out hope that billups will demand a buyout if trade goes through.

Except that's false. This team still has role players still has the same size we had pre trade, a more dynamic wing player, a better distributor, more defined roles for the bench, expectations for the coach which hopefully improves his coaching. I hate to say it but we come out a much better team with this trade.

WE CAN'T SIGN A SUPERSTAR. MELO IS GETTING HIS MONEY WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY KILLS OUR CAP SPACE. WE HAVE ALMOST NO CHANCE UNLESS THE CAP COMES IN AT AROUND 65 MILLION.
