Carmelo Anthony Discussion Thread - All Things Melo

Sometimes in trades we always want to know who got the better deal. When most deals are done for necessity for both teams.

We got the best player in the deal. Now we have two All Star starters. This kind of move is usually done in the off-season. But it was done in mid season.

I will actually praise Dolan for his efforts. I commend Walsh for being against it because its his patience that put us in position to get Melo.

Now Donnie has has build. Lets see how good he is now.

I would had been ok with the trade if either one of the big young guys stayed, and we let them keep Balkman and the 35 year old point guard...say Gallo or Felton. I am glad to hear that Douglas and Fields weren't involved. I think we took a bath though for letting it go this long and still giving up a lot. Guess we aren't lucky like the Lakers, how they steal players

So Donnie was against this trade:

Adrian Wojnarowski: Donnie Walsh ally says of steep price paid for Melo: "This is all Dolan. All Isiah. All (Worldwide) Wes and Leon Rose..." Twitter


Apparently Billups is unhappy and wants to be bought out so he can go back to Denver.


I'm out fellas. No sense being a Knicks fan until Dolan is gone. We've sealed our fate.

Melo's greed eliminated any chance of the Knicks ever being contenders. We have zero cap space, no PG, no Center, no draft picks and a more restrictive CBA.

Thanks Melo!! Hope you and your wife are happy with all those millions.

Throwing in Mozgov and 2 second round picks AND take back Balman's 1.6 mil salary for 2012 and 2013? Steep indeed! Carmelo better prove he is worth it. Paid more than LAL (Gasol) and Bos (Garnett).

Prokhorov has become enemy number one. I don't blame Ujiri for taking advantage of a retard with a parrot on his shoulder.


Someone do the commiserations please.

ROFL real gm is making me sick right now reading all these stupid no nothings who actually think we got robbed on this deal. we are a much better team right now, and we have something that was most needed, CONSISTENCY.

Chandler, Gallo, Felton, and Mozgov were NEVER going to win us a championship. They were barely keeping us over .500. We have two of the best players in the game and we still have youth. Stop crying and enjoy our awesome team.

^^^ THIS 100%:peace:

I dont get the paranoya. The hard part is done, we now have 2 superstars. The easy part will be getting the Gallos and Chandlers to join. You can find players like that a lot easier than finding the Melos.

And we also got Billups in the process until CP3 /D Will become available.

On a sadder note. Reinaldo Balkman. :(

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect. Stars wanna play with stars. Now we have two of them. More will come.

Chandler, Gallo, Felton. Well thats nice. That's like having three average cars in your garage. Would you give up your three Toyotas for one Mercedes in a heartbeat. Hell yeah. Same in basketball. That idiot who don't send Quantity for Quality is a fool. Look at Bulls. They were about to trade for Kobe Bryant but dident wanna give up Loul Deng. Look how that turned out.

Thank You Donnie Walsh. One of the best Knick trades ever. This will attract almost anybody out there to wanna come play in NYC...

Wow the Knicks haven't learned s**t. Who the heck are our starters.

Gallo would have no significant role w/ Melo on the team, Chandler wasn't going to resign since he's looking for a lot of $$, & who knows what Moz will become. The only one I would've wished they kept was Felton

Gallinari would have been our sixth man. I think he would have been awesome at it, too. I think he could really lead the second unit and still get his 16 a game.

This is bitter sweet....Gallo, Chandler, Felton, and Timmy gone...

If it wasn't for the labor dispute we would have had Melo for free....

I wanted to keep Gallo because Fields is a bench player on a good team...

but welcome to New New York Knicks....maybe we can make some noise

Keep this in mind gentlemen, The CBA are entertaining the premise of a hard cap and eliminating the mid level exception or MLE as it's abbreviated. For those of you saying "We'll just build around STAT and Melo", "Vets will be lining up to play here", "Dolan's prepared to go over the cap", "DWill or D12 or CP3 in 2012" and so on, you could very well be hit with an abrupt reeming after CBA talks are concluded and changes are made.

I got a feeling this isn't the only move the Knicks will make before the deadline, otherwise why wouldn't you wait til the very last minute to make the Melo deal?

Also, would have been ok with this deal if Felton wasn't included. I think we gave up too much, but it's done now and he's in NY!

There won't be a hard cap. No way. They will lower the cap, though. However, they will have grandfather clauses for teams that have been trying to rebuild.

I can't see the NBA screwing over teams like OKC who has money and eyes on Dwight.

I can't see the NBA screwing over the big market teams, either. They will have exceptions for franchise players.
