Carmelo is another Dominique. He wishes he was a Pippen.
Nah, he never said he was leaving. He even pissed off Raptor fans with tweets like "Should I stay or should I go?"
He also scheduled a meeting with the Raptors to give him a presentation, and they left the meeting without a commitment..

Cleveland fan has to be so pissed getting a lousy trade exception and then seeing what Denver got for a far lesser player.
Of course it is relevant. How crappy is New Jersey? Can someone actually comment on it? I'm not from the US so I don't know. Staying there two years might not be preferred at all by most free agents and players.
If they were in Brooklyn right now would that make a difference to free agents?
No, they play in the greater NYC area and they're moving to hipster Brooklyn in a couple of years. They've just never been a glamour franchise the way the Knicks are. Even though the Knicks have been in the ter for a decade now, they retain a cache and prestige that the Nets have never had. They are the Clippers to the Knicks' Lakers.
Thanks for that info. That explains it very well.
Melo has always been clutch when called on.
He was just surrounded with the wrong guys. Denver just didn't build correctly, and had a lot of second rate talent around him. KG suffered the same fate in Minny.... bad organizations ruin the perceptions of great players.
A marginally better version of Houston is who Denver just became. A roster full of nice complimentary talent without the one superstar to bring everything together.Originally Posted by Chris_Broussard
Houston wants Nene bad but sources say Denver unlikely to trade Nene or JR Smith before deadline..
I think the Brooklyn move is going to be big for them, but no one wants to play in the empty Izod Center for two years. No doubt they're going to make huge money selling jerseys with "Brooklyn" on the front though; everyone's going to want those. Once that happens, they'll be a glamor franchise.
That would make no sense....
LeBron was a FA and Cleveland either facilitated a S/T or watch LeBron sign with Miami outright.
1) get free for LeBron in a S/T
2) watch him sign with Miami and you get nothing
Cleveland fans can only complain that they didn't trade LeBron before FA.
Also, I like Brewer, but with Wes Johnson and Webster, he wasn't needed and it is better to try and go for a low risk, high upside guy like Randolph.
If Randolph plays close to his potential, Minny will have done really well with some dynamic young guys in Love/Beas/Randolph and they will still have significant cap space.
A player like Anthony is difficult to build around..there haven't been many teams in NBA history that have won a le with a guy like Anthony at the top..Kobe, Jordan and Bird were all great scorers, but exceptional passers as well..
Pierce is the only example of a top scorer on a team in the modern NBA that would make a valid example to Anthony, but I don't think Carmelo could be the defender that Pierce was, and the Knicks won't be able to build a roster of that nature..
So the starting lineup for the Knicks is Billups/Melo/Amare/?/?
wait. So is Brewer going to NY or DEN?
That's what I meant.
Fields at SG and whomever the flavor of the month is at C
Why the did Denver take on Brewer? I really don't understand it. I guess they will not make him the QO and it is like an expiring contract?
Obviously they have to let go or move at least two wings.
Denver.
The Nets won't always be 2nd to the Knicks IMO..players are still skeptical about the move to Brooklyn, even though it's guaranteed to happen, at this point, but once the move is made, they will begin to see a turnaround..
It won't be anything like the Clippers-Lakers IMO..
Didn't they just move to the new arena the Devils play in?? I know it's temporary until the Brooklyn move is complete, but sharing that arena with the hockey team is a step up from the old Meadowlands arena.
Denver has to trade JR Smith at this point, although I don't know which teams would take him on..everybody keeps saying Chicago, but the Bulls would be foolish to make a play for him IMO..

Source says Corey Brewer goes to NY -- not Denver, as in previous version of trade was constructed over weekend.
yeah, they play in the Prudential Center for now:
