Knicks, Rockets working on Carmelo Anthony trade scenarios

**** Scott Perry

 

I blame this thread.

 

I blame this whole fiasco on _holic, Daryl Maury, James Dolan, Ryan Anderson, Burp Steele,and Potato head

In that order

 

Haha this thread. I still come back to it. I can't stop moping about this.
We've waited forever for a big 3. We were so close. It stings too much now that he's in OKC.
It's one of those things where I really need to know what happened behind closed doors, but I shouldn't cuz it doesn't matter, it didn't happen. But did the Rockets think he was never going to expand his list? Did New York go back to them when OKC was on the table? I understand not considering EG or Ariza at first, but did they even have the option last second?

These are all rhetorical questions. More than happy to hear thoughts but please no one claim they know the definite answers; we can't all be potatoheads.

Me personally, I still have a hard time believing Morey wouldn't have parted with Ariza or EG if it meant getting Melo so I just feel like New York must have acted quickly. Morey has forever claimed you just add the stars and figure it out. The idea of Lebron picking Houston next summer, as unlikely as it is, would have Morey salivating. And he may value EG and Ariza, but he knows he can round out the team a lot easier since getting Melo probably makes you a top 3 destination for buyout candidates and what not.

 

If Melo really wanted to be here, he would eventually be here.

He wanted out of NY b4 camp more than he wanted to be a rocket.

As far as I'm concerned- Melo can f himself

 

He wanted out of NY and really wanted Houston. He waived the trade Kicker and all sorts of things so he could be here. If he just wanted out of NY he could have opened his list earlier. If Morey really wanted him here he could have given Capella or Ariza and called it a day. Morey gambled and lost. He may not be worth too much these days but Melo was definitely worth more than Ryan Anderson.

 

All he had to do was not open up to more teams and he would eventually be a rocket

But that meant attending camp and starting season with NY.

So ultimately he didn't want to be here.

Morey was protecting melo's future team's depth by not offering e.g. or ta.

Screw Melo

 

I agree. IF its on anyone its on us. Can't expect Melo to want to go into the season with the Knicks. And yeah its not even about Ryno's worth. No current GM in the league would have made that deal if they were acting on behalf of the Knicks' best interest (its funny I say 'current' cuz apparently Phil would have let it happen.)

 

That's a helluva long post to say your source was nowhere close to being correct.

He was even clinging to being wrong for over 1 1/2 days after the ch44, Shams and Woj announcements. How could he be so wrong, and still believe it....and wouldn't give in. Sounds like your source is really just you....or your twin brother.

You seem to say we should listen to you/him even more for being so freaking wrong. You should move on from listening to that bozo, again.

 

He source said he was stubborn enough to remain wrong for 1 1/2 days, after everyone ch44, Shams and Woj reported it. How could he know CP3 and continue being so wrong for 1 1/2 days.

Here's Melo arriving in OKC *before* 'holic's source gave in. 2:30 pm local time. Meaning he surely was spotted in NYC leaving a few hours before that.



Now that's some stubborn **** to not give up, even after Melo arrives to fans greeting him at OKC in the afternoon. That's sounds too stubborn to be a coincidence. Only 'holic is that stubborn. The source and 'holic are one and the same.

 

Cp3 is pretty stubborn.

 

Morey thought Melo was going to reach a buyout and then get Melo for a plain double cheeseburger and a mocha frappe

 

So the Melo trade gets announced by Woj on Saturday at 12:05 p.m., but your source is still talking about Melo to Houston until Sunday evening? Lol, what?

 

It's still funny to me how they wanted Kanter over Anderson. I guess the 3rd year really was all that mattered to them. I know Anderson sucked in the playoffs but he's still better than Kanter. Kanter was straight up unplayable lol. Seems like the Knicks just refused to deal with Houston out of spite.

 

"Was it over when the.....Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

"Germans?"

"Forget it, he's rolling."

 

They were just bitter that Linsanity picked us over them so they didn't want to trade Melo over here.

 

Not that we needed confirmation, but I guess holic's source is finally revealed as a fraud lol (again). The dude is clearly delusional. I love how he always tries to spin it anyways. He sure is persistent, I gotta give him that.
