I absolutely love seeing Rondo in a Knicks jersey, and his passing skills and bulldog attitude just match what we need. I really hope this happens, even if this year is a write off next year will be better with a full season of Melo playing with the best PG he's ever had.


NBA 2k is about the only place where Rajon Rondo will be traded to the Knicks.


Not gonna lie, I executed that one. :lol:

Because for some reason Amare's trade value is 3 outta 5 stars...2K botched that one.

Agreed and Knicks had nobody on their roster that Nuggets would take for Melo either.


I don't see Rondo pulling a Melo with 2 more years on his deal

Yeah they don't take into account a lot of things for their trade value.

I mean, Gerald freaking Wallace has like 2 or 3 stars lol I traded him for Ryan Anderson...

Anthony-Rondo-Chandler-Bargnani

That's a nasty core 4

Martin-Hardaway-Artest-Prigioni

That's a great set of complimentary players

Add in depth like Murry-Tyler-Aldrich-Beno

Me like it

"If I do nothing now, I'm never going to do anything. I feel like my time is now to make a decision if I want to leave or if I want to stay."

Carmelo has been trying to get traded all summer to either the Chicago Bulls or the New York Knicks. Both teams will be major players in the Carmelo Anthony Sweepstakes come July 2011 if Melo plays out the final year of his contract in Denver.



And Rondo continues to insist that all changes considered, he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
“I love it here, the fans are great here, (president of basketball operations) Danny (Ainge) has been straight with me, so why would I want to leave?” he said. “Why would I want out? This is a brand new start for us as a team.”


You can create scenarios all you want, but as of now, the two situations aren't even in the same ballpark.

I agree. They aren't even remotely the same.

On top of that, Boston probably wouldn't care even if Rondo wanted out. He has 2 years on his deal. They don't have to listen to him at all until next February :lol:

I'm targeting $2m dollars in the bank next year, marrying a supermodel, and buying a small island. And that has a greater chance of happening than this trade.

I traded for Rondo too in MyGM:lol:

All it took was Felton, Amare and Shumpert. Got Rondo and Kris back.

it says it on the flyer: if you shop with the knicks, you'll get one draft pick GUARANTEED. No other team makes that offer. And the Knicks stand by their guarantee.
I dunno.

Not even sure Rondo fits this team that well. Hasn't he been known to dribble the ball for too long causing stagnation? It seems Melo already does that at times. We don't need another guy doing it. Plus he can't hit a jumper so teams will sag off him not allowing the spacing needed for Melo to operate.

Not even sure why I typed the above since this deal isn't happening anyway. Ainge is not dealing with the Knicks.

difference with Rondo is after he's done over-dribbling it, he passes it to a wide open player

Exactly. Rondo is the kind of player that can transform this team just with his IQ. Doesn't matter if he can't shoot, his speed and lateral quickness will put other teams off balance generating easy buckets. Knicks needs to find a way to get him.

Rondo is almost the last of a kind but doubt Boston will trade him and plus the Knicks don't have the assets to get him.

we can't have all our fortunes tied to Ainge

he will screw us just to do it

this league is filled with really solid PGs
we need one
desperately
but Rondo isn't the only choice
