Anthony's no-trade clause means the Knicks can't send him anywhere they could get real assets for him, and the cities he wants to go to are thin on assets to send back. (Jamal Crawford and Austin Rivers aren't exactly a pretty penny for a multiple-time All-Star.) But there may have emerged a new suitor that could drastically alter the landscape of this MeloDrama 2.0. Those same Chicago Bulls. From the Chicago Sun Times: Jimmy Butler talked to Carmelo Anthony three days ago. It was a "catch-up'' call, according to Butler on Wednesday. What it should have been was a recruiting call, letting Anthony know that he's still welcomed in a Bulls uniform if he goes ahead and waives that no-trade clause to escape New York. Don't, however, rule out Butler making that call soon. "That is half the battle,'' Butler said, when discussing making a player from another team feel welcomed. "And I could still do that. I think everybody knows what Carmelo can bring to a team. The dude is a helluva player. "But I think that we have some things that we've got to worry about here first in the next few weeks [leading into the trade deadline], before we go down that road.'' |
just keep taking guys out hornacek after they make 1 mistake, makes sense, no wonder no one can get into a rhythm
they could night just sign melo outright, it is a common misconception that they could just sign melo outright
Didn't Chandler sign after the lockout? Remember the lockout went into effect right after the draft.
knicks came out flat in the 3rd so now hornacek is just doing hockey shifts every minute

denver resigned wilson because of bird rightz...knicks would of had to relinquish those rights so they got cap space..

yeah he went to china, so how would the knicks sign him after they wouldve signed melo?
can for once the knicks hire a real coach?
they are fucking stupid, i am sorry they are just stupid and that is kp included..
part of it is hornacek and rambis
They are all bad. This team is just rotten. Surround KP with players that give a shit on defense and I guarantee he improves. Instead he's surrounded by players that don't even try to play defense. It's no surprise that he's playing poor defense. That's Knicks basketball baby!

he really is a terrible terrible defender

he just makes stupid mistakes, it is simple stuff to, like constantly going for the block on the inside when his man is on the 3 point line...
i dont care about the money to spend, just get.me a young team that gives a shit..
they brought in vets who everyone thought wanted to win but that didnt work, time to tank and go young
hahahahahahahah
man if they can get fultz ball or smith jr and you got something with kp and willy...
i wish they could get 1 more 1st in this years draft
Quote:
get it done Phil.
hahahahahahahah
Can't help to try. Hey, some team was dumb enough to trade a 1st round pick for Bargnani.
Regardless of what the starters did.... starting KP on jokic was awful. Playing Jennings 40 minutes - didnt work.
The fact rambis still has a job shows inept management.
I only saw the last 4+ minutes of the game, in which Jokic only scored 4 points. But the rest of the Nuggets were going crazy and it's not like it was because Jokic was getting double-teamed.
I also happened to see some of the press conference from Horny and I feel like I'm sick of his shit already. After an abomination of a defensive performance, I don't want to see him act like he has nothing to do with what's going on out there on the floor or has no control over it. If the starters effort isn't what you want, DON'T START THEM, regardless of how much money they make or where they were drafted.
Frankly, he looked like he was ready to take the Larry Brown Express out of town.
suns also won, looking at knicks schedule, they could lose 6 in a row and be top 5 soon
it was hard for me at first, but if you believe willy can be a good 3rd or 4th piece, even if you think kp is a 2nd piece with this years draft there are plenty of number 1 pieces..
if you are in the 5-10 range i think all those guys are 2nd pieces...
1-4 i think they are number 1 pieces, ball fultz smith and i think josh jackson can squeeze into that, he will be that high risk high reward guy
Get a defensive coach in here and some good defensive teammates before you judge KP.
We? Who's that, the fans? What exactly do the fans have to do with KPs defense? Should we start booing him out of the building? What would you like us to do? Throw beer bottles at him? Will that make him play better defense? Jeezus, yeah let's make his life miserable because he probably has no clue that his defense needs a lot of work. Wtf is wrong with you people?
Besides that, it's been pretty universal that he needs to improve his defense, among other things. So again, what do you want the fans to do? This isn't the first time you've posted something like this, so please let us know what you want so you can stop regurgitating the same thing over and over again. Want us to show up at his house and let him have it?

Thank you. The way some of you kill a 21 year old, 2nd Year player budding star is way over the top. Jesus, get over it already. Yes, he's been poor on defense but there are things he does well. I'm fairly confident that he will be able improve his defense. Even with KPs defensive woes, it's easy to not kill him because he's young, a team player, and has expressed the desire to improve. Which is a far cry from some of the other morons on this Knicks team. Phil really needs to surround KP with the right type of players. Melo and Rose aren't those players.
Mavs play: vs Orlando, vs Boston, @DET, @MIN. One win and they jump the Knicks.
SAC plays: vs NO, @LA, @GS, vs DEN. 1 win and they stay ahead of NY.
NO plays: @SAC, @PHO, @MEM, vs Houston. 2 wins jump the knicks. 1 to tie.
MIN: vs CHI, @CLE, @DEN, vs DAL. 2 wins jump NY.
So it's conceivable they can be at the trade deadline looking at the 7th pick of the draft, with a chance of the 6th. So if that's not enough to get phil in sell mode I don't know what is.
Anyone want to take bets on what the next win is? Philly at home is the next bet, but Embiid will probably be back by then. Then they get Toronto at home, then @PHI, @ORL, vs GS, @ORL, all after the trade deadline. If they drop games against philly and Orlando on the road they could very easily be looking at a top 4 pick within the next 3 weeks.
max level guys almost never leave the team that drafted them before signing a second contract.
Your better off benching melo until he accepts a trade. Letting rose go after the season and just full blow tank for 2 years.

And 7'3 guys in particular would be dumb to decline an extension at year 4 for the opportunity to take less $$ and years after year 5.

Reading between the lines..
Just long enough for Phil to get the axe

Then buy him out. I think both Melo and rose could be useful for some even low end playoff teams. No point in keeping Rose at all around during this mess.

Why buy him out? Your losing with him anyways. If the goal is to lose, they are doing it now with this core. Rose has no value to anyone since they wont give anything up for him. And the statements that he is only looking out for himself is way overblown.
I'd at least make the ECF interesting if Rose went to play off the bench in Boston or Washington.

I dont like Rose, as a player and probably on a personal level. But I dont like to impute motive to people without a lot of evidence. Who knows what lurks in Rose's head (especially with respect to Rose, who I think is not a normal person upstairs).
However, I dont remember if there was a direct quote but there have at least been second hand reports of Rose talking about his next contract. He disappeared on the team for a game. And most importantly is totally unwilling to take contact. That are at least checks in favor of the theory.

I dont like the message it sends. I dont think Rose gave us his all, and I wouldnt want to reward that behavior with a release that lets him go for a title and redeem his value. Players should expect to go down with the ship they helped sink.

Even as a rose fan... I clearly know he is not the smartest person.
