What do we get if he goes to LA with the 5th year? TPE plus pick(s)?

Pretty sure new CBA doesn't work that way anymore. No 5th year in S&T.

Looks like LA has stepped to the forefront in the Melo race... Would be able to bring in both he and James if they were to take 16m each.. Wow Kobe , Melo & Bron


Well damn. The LA Unified School District really is trash. Those poor kids.

If Melo signs with L.A., then it would confirm what some have suspected of him: He cares more about smiling on the court and playing for fun than playing to win. If that's what he truly wants, we can only let our frustration go and allow him to be who he is.

It happens, we lost Howard last year even though he was only with us for a year. Hopefully you guys can rebound from this and get the #1 pick and land Jahlil Okafor in the draft next year.


:lol: It may happen, but not because this little boy said so. His twitter feed is him being the ultimate stan, chasing players around in parking lots pre/post game and even tweeting shots of him taking paparazzi style pictures of them from a distance.

KnicksGod wrote:I have no idea if my theory is accurate -- sometimes the lines between advocating the likelihood of something or simply presenting a possibility blur together, and Melo could genuinely be torn about his options.

But the line from Wojina about how Melo is still bothered by Phil wanting him to take less ... especially from Wojina ... is ... curious.

Lakers can offer the most besides us, so there's that, but how perfect is it to have the Lakers to use in a negotiation with Phil :lol:

I'm pretty sure we're offering a 5th year.


Excellent, seeya later Melo, GTFO!

This kid was a good source with the Dwight to the Rockets info...he has not been wrong yet and I do believe a Lakers source told him that but unless it comes from Melo himself idk

Melo-Libs

If Carmelo Anthony signs with the NOUN then it just confirms what we've known about him all along. He's just a ADJECTIVE NOUN who only cares about ADJECTIVE NOUN and he can go VERB PRONOUN.

Gonna be honest. I have heard inside stories involving Dwight...

I wouldn't be shocked if he directly told that kid where he was going last season. From the stories I know, he is as much of a clown as we all think he is.

Aw man. You can't put the faith of your millions in other people's hands folks.


it's not like they earned those millions. They're stealing that money from the Knicks and no one can do a damn thing about it.

Melo can finally play for fun without the burden of fan expectations. He can smile and laugh it up on the court, chill on D, take turns chucking it up 25 times/game - which is what his heart truly wants to do, freely and without consequences. LA is a big market, but it's a lower pressure one. They have tradition there, but the fans aren't really that passionate.

His wife will have plenty of TV and film opportunities.
