Jalen is a damn idiot and has been ever since he signed his name to someone else's SAT scores twenty years ago.
Jalen Rose: Knicks have the 5th best starting lineup in the NBA
You can't make this up.

all this means is sell outs at msg and a first round MAYBE second round exit...
i thought he said the east. well i was half listening.Jalen Rose: Knicks have the 5th best starting lineup in the NBA
They're going to sign Barron and potentially Jeffries, once he's inevitably bought out. I expect Mason to be waived to facilitate the Barron signing. If they sign Jeffries, Azubuike and Carter are candidates to be waived.
Stoudemire/Williams (Shawne), Balkman
Anthony/Brewer/Walker
Turiaf/Barron/Williams (Shelden)
Fields/Azubuike
Billups/Douglas/Carter
Sounds like the Nuggets will soon trade Felton and Mozgov to the Nets for two 1st round picks. Nene and Smith are other candidates to be moved (though Brousssard doubts it'll happen now). For now . . .
Martin/Harrington
Gallinari/Chandler/Forbes
Nene/Anderson/Mozgov/Ely
Afflalo/Smith
Felton/Lawson
While I'm at it . . .
Love/Randolph/Tolliver
Beasley/Webster/Hayward
Milicic/Pekovic/Koufas
Johnson/Ellington
Ridnour/Flynn/Telfair
I feel sorry for Felton. The guy has been playing superbly and had a right to believe he was integral to that team, and now he's going to land with the Nets?! WTF do they need another PG for when they have Harris?
Also, this move probably sank my attempted DL I le defense.
Felton doesn't go to the Nets unless Harris gets moved.
Right, that's what I was thinking, so where's Harris going? Haven't heard that talk.
C'mon Nuggets, hold on to Felton. He's a perfect replacement for Chauncey.
Going to be interesting to see NY. Amare and Melo are perhaps the two best scorers at their position. Douglas Roberts, Billups, and Fields are good role players. Going to be funny to see them try and rebound though. Maybe they get Murphy.
I hope Anthony Randolph can do something with his ing career now that he's out of New York. mono must be really excited about the deal.
Harris to Mavs
Um, how did the Bucks become involved in this?
Sorry what's that dudes name? Can't remember it, but he's good. Bottom line I think they're going to be fun to watch and they still have a solid team.
I wonder I'd RMJ will get PT now
dude couldn't even get PT on cleveland right now if the opportunity presented itself.
broussard says nuggets dont want to trade them.I feel sorry for Felton. The guy has been playing superbly and had a right to believe he was integral to that team, and now he's going to land with the Nets?! WTF do they need another PG for when they have Harris?

First good news I've heard today. Felton should be pretty similar statistically in a Nuggets uniform given that they play with a similarly open and free style. Maybe my team isn't sunk after all!
I'm sure that the Knicks will have the inner gamer against the outer game.
Melo vs. Amare.

Exciting trade from just a basketball fan's perspective. A marquee player is going to the biggest stage in basketball. That's something I look forward to watching.
For the Nuggets: Good job on milking several assets/pieces from this trade. I think this might be one of those things that's actually a blessing in disguise down the road because Carmelo wasn't going to bring home a championship. They'd end up being a pretender until he was done. This way they can at least try to build around a future star with a better demeanor and willingness to play defense.
For the Knicks: Gave up more than they had to but in the end they got the job done. They had to get Carmelo Anthony out of this because they were otherwise destined to settle for being a cute .550 team (at best) in the East. They're not contenders but at least now they're players. Someone mentioned a good point that Stern pushes stars so they'll get favorable treatment from the league. Also, forget about on the court play, Carmelo will make the Knicks a lot of $$$.
For Carmelo: He somehow managed to pull off acting like he was a victim in a situation he created. If you listened to him talk, it was like the Nuggets wanted to get rid of him and he was some poor pawn caught in a game of front office warfare. I strongly dislike Carmelo - in both what he brings as a player and his personality. He acts like a complete and his game isn't suited for team basketball. As it stands, he's a 1 dimensional player. He can score easily but that's the extent of his abilities. If I was a Nuggets fan, I'd just be glad this was off my team. He's not a winner. To me, winners are guys like Manu, Kobe, Derek Fisher, Duncan, D. Rose, Westbrook, Blake Griffin, and Kevin Durant (not as much lately). These guys remind me of the players from the tough NBA eras when guys were fierce - MJ, Scottie, Karl Malone, Stockton, Barkley, Bird, etc. Nowadays, the soft y guys that look for excuses and don't care 100% about winning like Carmelo, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Lebron, D-Wade, Bosh litter the league.
NJ Nets: Can't believe the owner went back on his word of not pursuing "Carmela". He didn't seem like that type of guy. I think the Nets got lucky they didn't get him, not that he was ever seriously considering playing for them. Carmelo played with them like a yo-yo. I thought the owner got the message when he said they were done pursuing but guess not.
Overall: Even though I would never want Carmelo on my team, I love this trade because of how live this NBA season feels. The East is going to have a great bracket this year once the losers get weeded out in the first round.
You guys don't know that Amare is injury-prone? a risky investment?
Fantasy could be vanished in a second.
But, sweet dream seems a better option for Knicks.
Acctually, the Nuggets steal the trade.
exactly. Melo and Amare better mesh quick coz Amare's knees will be shot by 2012
nugget fans are desperate.
That's crazy, bro...where do you get this inside information? What else does the future hold?
I like this trade for the Knicks, it makes them a potential nightmare for a higher seed in the playoffs. The Nuggets were at risk to lose him for nothing, he was set on becoming a Knick and by trading him they got some pieces back instead of him walking. Denver can still make the playoffs, they did lose a superstar but still have some talent on the roster. The Knicks are now a better team on paper but it will be interesting to see if there are chemistry issues.
Ok, I'm late to the party. Kobe and his world-champion Lakers have once again shook up the world. Players are colluding together left and right. First it was Bosh who left Toronto, where he was a 1st option to join D-Whistle. Then it was LeHype who infringed on a then 17-year old Kobe's phrase of taking his talents to the NBA (South Beach) and also joining D-Whistle. Next up was Boozer fleeing the WC for his life by joining up with D Rose in the EC. Then Amare' inked a $100M deal to join the Knicks (expertly guaranteeing to not see Kobe until the Finals - if he ever got that far). Now Melo is running scared.
Anybody I missed? Doesn't matter. I can't blame them though. I wouldn't want to face the champs in a 7 game series either. Newsflash: they can run, but they can't hide. Eventually you will have to come through LA - with or without HCA.
