I was listening to him yesterday and he was surprisingly talking Knicks basketball. He said that Denver is in LOVE with Fields and he would have to be included in a deal for Melo. Don't know how much thats worth coming out of his mouth but pretty interesting.
He hasn't touched on the Knicks in years.... Why should we care what he has to add now that he's jumping on the bandwagon. I would think we were more in the loop than he, when it comes to the Knicks.
I'm surprised people still listen to that tool!
Who cares what DEN "likes" ... Fields isn't going anywhere. His presence makes Walsh look like a genius, and coach loves him. He's a poor man's S-Marion.
Fields is way more valuable than Chandler and Gallo, b/c he makes an impact on the game w/out needing the ball.
Felton-Stat-Melo need Turiaf/Fields to fullfill the dream. Thsoe 2 guys compliment the next big-3.
It will be interesting. I guess if we could get Melo for Fields, Randolph, and a draft pick, we might cave b/c it means we make a run at the title this year, AND we make Melo happy getting him here this season.
Is that worth giving up on Fields? I guess.
But, still.... I would think Melo is smart enough to think if he wants to win a TITLE.... then just refuse to go anywhere. Screw DEN. Sign here as a free agent.
Of course, this is a huge risk. He might lose 30-50 million, given uncertainty of everything related to contracts and next season.
SO, what to do? Tough call. BUt if it means getting Melo, while keeping 2 of the 5 (Gallo, Chandler, Fields, Randolph, Douglas) then it must be done.
