The Official Carmello Anthony trade speculation thread

[mdc]

who said the Knicks right now are better then Chicago or Orlando? They aren't. Next season i expect them to be in the top 4 however.

You have no cap space next season...at best you can sign someone to the MLE. How is that going to allow you to leapfrog Orlando or Chicago?

Apparently Donnie Walsh disagrees. He said this morning on ESPN radio that nothing has changed and they have cap room to bring someone in.
After everything he has done for the franchise i will take his word on it.

...or you could go to HoopsHype.com and check the facts rather than believing the spin? Especially spin coming from Wlash, a guy that hated the idea of trading for Anthony for the very reason that it would compromise their cap space.

There'll probably be a lockout next year so it won't really matter, but then in 2012/2013 Anthony + Stoudemire are on the books for 40M+ combined, which doesn't leave anywhere near enough room for another max guy, even with 13 empty roster spots.

Walsh didnt want to trade for him? are you serious. He said this morning he has been working on a trade for him cause he knew Melo wasnt coming as a FA cause he wanted his extension and he was 100% on board with the deal and actually did it mostly himself.
Im sure Donnie has a plan to bring someone in, we need some height for next year and i will back him in to bring in a decent player.

Brah, they'll do well to finish Top 4.

Never said we'd win now. I'm not expecting a huge playoff run this season. Next year we're top 4 if we add a few more pieces.... like a 5 man. Happy times ahead!

 

[Borgsta]

man this is going to end in more massive LOL's @ the Knicks. Can't wait.

 

[jerry springer]

defiantly a trade you will have to wait 3 years to find out if there was a winner

 

[Spriteftw3]

Felton supposedly contacted Nuggets FO and Karl and told them he wants to be here, and wants Nuggets to keep his the other guys from NY, and they want to help this team make the playoffs and prove to the fans and organization that the Nuggets made a good deal

 

[Primetime Pricey]

good news for the Nuggs then. Hope it works out for those guys.. esp Felton

 

[AxelFoley]

So if everyone is happy with the deal, all is well then!!

Surely Denver don't give Nene a $60 million over 5 years extension? Surely?

Why not? Seems around the going price for a decent big man.

would love a big framed poster of that shot.

Nene is not worth $60M over 5 years, not until he can at least average 10 boards a game.

You're paying Deng that much, and Nene's a significantly better player (though I do actually like Deng).

Deng isn't worth his contract, that's well established.

However because he's actually on the court producing people don't pay as much attention to the contract, he's only just STARTED to play at a level that people can tolerate his contract.

What does this mean? Nene's missed a total of 11 games the last 3 seasons.

Anyway, 60M/5 seems perfectly reasonable to me. Compared to Horford/Noah it's obviously dear, but compared to the rest of the bigs in the league, it's fine.

 

[ROSEMVP]

nene is underated. Deng imo is worth 8 mil a year atm.

That was referring to Luol.
