Melo. I can't play because I'm too hurt. Oh wait, playing in NY, I'm good to go coach. They should have benched him.

Nooooooooooooooooo! I wanted Favors, not ing Gallinari!NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony has told the Denver Nuggets he will not sign the nearly $65 million contract extension he has been offered unless he is traded to the New York Knicks, a source told ESPN.com on Sunday.
The source, using the most definitive language possible, confirmed what has been widely speculated around the NBA over the past two months as Anthony has been at the center of trade talks involving numerous teams.
And while other franchises might be able to make better offers, Anthony will not agree to sign anywhere long-term unless he is dealt to New York, according to the source, who has been privy to private discussions between Anthony, his representatives and the Nuggets organization.
The source spoke to ESPN.com after Denver's 129-125 loss to New York on Sunday afternoon as the Knicks won their eighth straight game.
Anthony was again coy in discussing his future, but he did move the needle somewhat in making a prediction that the Nuggets will not trade him to a destination that is not on his wish list.
"I don't think so. I don't think that will happen," Anthony said.
Asked why he would make such a definitive statement, Anthony demurred "I don't want to answer that. I don't want to talk about that."
Anthony received a standing ovation from Knicks fans during player introductions after hearing their pleadings on the streets ever since the Nuggets arrived in Manhattan late Friday night.
"Everybody's yelling out the windows: 'Melo we need you in New York.' Of course that feels good when you know someone out there wants you to come and represent their team and represent their city. That's what I took from that," Anthony said.
The New Jersey Nets have been holding out hope that their offer of Derrick Favors, Troy Murphy and two No. 1 draft picks would be the best offer available to the Nuggets, but the news that Anthony will not agree to sign with them long-term effectively knocks them out of the bidding.
sons on being politically correct! I am a zebra so I have every right to say this ...
why in the should ANYONE be shocked by this with Carmelo? I mean for Christ sakes just look at him! ...
now sons does that look like a person who knows the first thing about loyalty, respect, or what its like to actually earn a living with hard work and dedication? the simple answer is of course not. Carmelo is just another typical, hood rat who can ball his ass off so therefor his sense of en lement is through the roof and he doesn't care about anyone but himself. The Nuggets have paid him very well and have put solid teams on the floor. they deserve more respect from him, but then again no one should be surprised by this.
A core of Felton, Amare, and Melo would be pretty damn good in the East this year...

HILARIOUS
You have a point though.
What's funny is that some people here were defending Anthony in the off-season(I won't name names), while ting on Lebron, using Carmelo as a good example
Anthony and Stoudemire would be interesting, I don't know how well it would do, but it's worth trying..the problem would be that they're both very poor passers and poor defenders, so they would need to bring in different personnel and bring in a legit assistant coach at some point..
Scary team that's probably going to be top 4 in the east. Surprising they don't need Parker anymore since Felton's playing like an all-star point guard.
If they can keep together:
Melo, amare, Felton, chandler and Landry Fields that is the makings of an Eastern power. sure they would still suck on defense but they are one shot-blocker away from being truly dangerous ...
no that is jamesWhat's funny is that some people here were defending Anthony in the off-season(I won't name names), while ting on Lebron, using Carmelo as a good example

no one can critizes james
if they do he goes ape
Kobe, Melo, and others demand trades while refusing to honor their contracts...try to manipulate the team they are traded to, hurting their current team's ability to benefit from the trade
yet LeBron honors his contract silently and enters free agency, gives everyone including his current team a chance to give him a sales pitch for his services,
but when he exercises his rights to free agency, he's the worst guy in sports.
i would love to see that trade BR
another super team formed. the playoffs in the EAST would be so ing amazing to watch
carmelo has woman hips
What an Era in basketball...........
unbelievable.
werent you wishing to have him on your team?sons on being politically correct! I am a zebra so I have every right to say this ...

got
ah u mad cuz ur boy cp3 wanna ball with the guy in NY
ugh....i don't want Carmelo on the Knicks. I can't stand the guy. Great b-ball skills, but serious character flaws.
But but he's doing it for the kids, surely!
Why does Eddy Curry get paid 11 million dollars?
amare + melo = vintage
Melo's a pussy.
LOL Eddy Curry. He played like 5 games in the last 5 years.
efense!amare + melo = vintage
first of all, we arent trading chandler or gallinari for melo , when we can just get melo for free in FA.
second of all, we dont really need melo, we can score enough, we need a big man who plays D and a backup PG.
It's not that funny. Carmelo is a ing . But his situation is very different from LeBron's. And the major criticism of LeBron last summer doesn't apply to Carmelo.What's funny is that some people here were defending Anthony in the off-season(I won't name names), while ting on Lebron, using Carmelo as a good example
Anthony and Stoudemire would be interesting, I don't know how well it would do, but it's worth trying..the problem would be that they're both very poor passers and poor defenders, so they would need to bring in different personnel and bring in a legit assistant coach at some point..
LeBron put up a front to Cleveland and Cavs fans whispering sweet nothings in their ear, giving all sorts of indications that he was theirs, screaming how he loved Cleveland and that he wouldn't stop until he brought a championship to Cleveland. Then he went on national television so that Cleveland fans and everybody else could watch him getting head from another team. LeBron basically was telling his wife he still loves her while ing some new hot young thing down in Miami. That's why he got ted on.
Carmelo already broke up with Denver and Nuggets fans. He isn't putting on some deception stringing them along. He already told his wife they're done and it's because of another woman. He's not hiding it. He's just waiting for the divorce papers to be finalized.
Melo is still a for it all. But at least he's not pretending to be someone or something he isn't. He's a and he's admitting it.
Carmelo is a tall version of Iverson. The question is not where he wil be playing next ,but when does he start playing in Turkey.
