The Knicks would be the only team, by law, that anyone would play 2k with online.

So it's safe to say that assuming this source is legit, the overwhelming majority are in favor of Amar'e's position in direction of who to pursue in 2012?

Also, some of you twitterers should maybe tweet something to this to Stat/Melo and see if they respond.

You can tell it's nonsense the guy wrote just to support a larger point he was making about the CBA. How would this guy know what they were fighting about?

i don't think they're "fighting" over it, but amar'e's agent did get Iman when it was clear that carmelo wanted the knicks to draft Josh Selby. :lol:

carmelo probably thinks it's his turn to choose.

Melo knows D12 is the better option. hes just keeping the Paul option alive in case we strike out.

Give me CP3 or give me death.

D12 ain't coming here and I'd much rather me a PG that actually plays some defense. Amar'e can go jump off a bridge with that Phoenix Suns of the East bullshxt.

Fire D'antoni and play some defense ya friggin' cowards.

Yeah, cause the last thing D12 is known for is defense!

Without Nash, I'm with you -- Paul or death lol. With Nash though...definitely with Dwight.

We went from debates on Chandler vs. Gallo to Paul vs. Dwight :lol:

Anyways, I don't believe that at all. They might have said in separate interviews who they want but I highly doubt they are going back and fourth on who they want like a bunch of RealGM posters.

With Paul we would be one of the greatest teams in this league. With Dwight we would be one of the greatest teams of all time .

With that being said, I don't think he'll come to NY, whether it is to us or the Nyets.

I can have pipe dreams too:

PG: Paul (shared max with Dwight)
SG: Kobe (minimum)
SF: Melo (restructured deal)
PF: Amare (restructured deal)
C: Dwight (shared max with Paul)

Bench:
PG: Nash (Minimum)
SG: Baron Davis (Minimum)
SF: Fields
PF: Antoine Walker (Minimum)
C: Jerome Jordan

In my pipe dream I'm banging a super model doggie style watching the TV while the final seconds are ticking off the clock as that roster is winning the title....and at that exact moment the ping pong balls are bouncing just right for me to win the $200million dollar lottery...
