Carmelo Anthony Traded to the Knicks.
- Thread starter NUMBERICA
- Start date
The Knicks are schmucks if they don't have another magic wand to land them Dwight Paul Deron Lebron IV. I can't imagine the new CBA will magically allow them the cap space to go after another max player, let alone that free agency doesn't become hampered with something like more restrictive cap terms or something resembling a franchise tag.
In less time than it took the Knicks to "rebuild", the Knicks have once again completely sold the farm.

What in the world happened to Anthony Randolph this year? I was certain the guy was going to be a borderline All-Star in a few years last year.
Who knows, but I'll be damned if Don Nelson was right about something.

I'll be sure to not listen to your opinion in future drafts.
Him and Melo are going to be best of friends from here on out.

....the big question is: Who got the most jailhouse tats out of this trade....Denver or the Knicks? It will take WEEKS to sort out the exact number that exchanged hands on this one! Over/under is.....gee, I don't know....maybe a couple of hundred?

I hope the new CBA screws NY. I think this trade was so dumb and on the assumption they will be able to sign williams/paul.

Walsh and D'Antoni are both letting it known through "sources" that this trade was all Dolan, Isiah, and Worldwide Wes.
Dumb, dumb, dumb. New York knew Carmelo wanted to play there. Only reason for giving up so much is perhaps the fear that under a new CBA, all they could have offered next season was the MLE. They gave up WAY too much. Carmelo, Amare and Billlups without much else. Not a team that can advance very far in the playoffs.

He's the best player that never plays. Everyone marvels at his talent, but he never plays. Just never plays.
Okay, so Amare turns down Phoenix to go to NYC, Lebron and Bosh turn down Cleveland and Toronto to go to Miami, Carmello bolts Denver to go to NYC. How are teams like Denver, Toronto, Phoenix and Cleveland supposed to compete? Even when they get top-shelf lottery talent, they can't hold onto it because the All-Star players only want to be in one of 4 or 5 cities. See what happens with Chris Paul next year....

As silly as it sounds to some people, something really has to be done to quell this crap that's going on.
Its not silly at all. Small market teams in the NBA, at least from a competetive standpoint, are about to be a permanent thing of the past unless something is done quickly. I applaud the Miller's for spending what they have just to keep us as relatively competetive as we have been, but even they cannot sustain this. Without action in the next CBA, the NBA will be what MLB is. We will be the Kansas City Royals of the NBA - a once proud and competetive franchise that is relegated to just existing, nevermind competing.
