Knicks, Rockets working on Carmelo Anthony trade scenarios

I want to know also!

 

None of these ****ers know anything .

 

ROLMAO

 

The next time Melo sees Legler in-person:

 

Yeah he shat on MDA as a coach, said Harden was in charge last year, called MDA a quitter and mocked his Coty award. He said the deal is done but they need a fourth team just to make the money work. The relationship with Melo and MDA didn't end bad it started bad because MDA never wanted Melo, Melo never bought in and so essentially he never coached him. He also said that there are rumors around NY that MDA is holding up the trade but that it wasn't true. Stated that Melo is at the stage of his career where he's been humbled and should accept a role in the offense, "we might even see him set a screen for someone".

 

Why listen? The guy admitted yesterday that he pretends to have sources lol.

 

Did you make a bet? Are they really taking these bets, or is this prop bet opportunity just Fake News to get ppl to sign up at betting sites.

BookMaker.eu is referenced in articles, but you can't see the Anthony odds unless you first join. Wonder if it's just a ploy to sign-up, then you don't actually get offered the opportunity to make that bet. The more common Vegas online betting places don't seem to mention this prop at all.

I'd be interested if any Vegas casino is actually taking this bet in person, inside the casino. @Kwame ??

 

Melo was backpedalling his ass off lol

 

man, even Peter Vescey is getting some shine during this Melo saga

this is like a golden era for irrelevant/fake insiders right now

 

Hilarious

 

It's hard to find an offshore account. I use to use thegreek.com but they stopped offshore accounts. If I find a good one I would gladly place $100 on it.

 

Been about 24 hours since any real news.. Thirsty for something.

 

Here's the Bleacher Report proposed trade, for entertainment purposes only:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...om&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial

Carmelo Anthony to Houston (in the Most Convoluted Fashion Ever)

Brooklyn Nets Receive: C John Henson, SG Rashad Vaughn, 2020 second-round pick (via Houston)

Houston Rockets Receive: SF/PF Carmelo Anthony

Milwaukee Bucks Receive: PF Ryan Anderson, 2018 second-round pick (from Charlotte, Memphis or Miami, via Houston)

New York Knicks: SG Joe Harris, PF/C Spencer Hawes, PF Shawn Long, SG Tim Quarterman, PF Mirza Teletovic, 2018 top-20 protected pick (via Milwaukee), 2020 first-round pick (via Houston)

Strap in, folks. We're about to get weird—out of necessity no less.

Sources told Wojnarowski the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks are "confident that they have a willing third-team trade partner" to facilitate a Carmelo Anthony deal but now need a fourth squad to take on a contract neither of them wish to absorb. And since the identities of both helping hands remain unknown, we land on the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks.

We begin in Milwaukee, because that's the end destination for the elephant in these talks—the three years and $61.3 million left on Ryan Anderson's contract.

In the latest episode of The Basketball Analogy podcast, ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst said the Bucks want to get rid of Matthew Dellavedova, John Henson and Mirza Teletovic. They shed two of them in this deal, and by including Spencer Hawes' expiring contract, they evade the luxury tax for this year and clear extra minutes for Thon Maker and D.J. Wilson.

Anderson is pricey, but he's a terrific spot-up shooter. He fits right in alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, Malcolm Brogdon and Khris Middleton drives, and the Bucks save money for the next two years by paying him instead of Henson and Teletovic. And when he starts to cost them coin, in 2019-20, he'll be an expiring contract.

Is this worth dumping a low-end first and summer-league standout Rashad Vaughn? Maybe not. But it might be. The Bucks can try pulling either the first or Vaughn from the equation if it is. Who knows, the Nets may be willing to sign up for Henson's shot-blocking and rim-running potential without a sweetener.

The Knicks should count themselves as lucky to get two late firsts under the circumstances. Anthony's no-trade clause limits his market scope to Cleveland and Houston, neither of which has a ton of assets. They'll open up another $8 millionish in cap space this summer if they waive the non-guaranteed deals of Shawn Long and Tim Quarterman, while both Harris and Hawes are off the books next July.

Eating Mirza Teletovic's agreement is less than ideal, but that's the cost of getting two firsts. And it's not like he'll hamstring them in 2018 free agency. He'll be on the ledger for roughly one-third of what Anthony would take home if he opts in, and expiring contracts are inherently easier to dump.

There is nothing for the Rockets to mull in this scenario. They get a shot at unlocking pre-2016 Olympics Melo without giving up Trevor Ariza, Clint Capela or a second first-round pick. They win.

 

Yeah, "the GREAT Peter Vescey" is like an oxymoran. The guy has been peddling trash for decades; he's the national inquirer of the NBA; the Russians think Vescey's reporting is unreliable.

 

But you didn't really answer my question. Where is this prop bet being offered? Can you give a link to an actual online betting site (where we can see it) vs just articles talking about it? All I see is articles referencing sites, and then you go to those online betting sites, and you don't see any Melo prop mentioned.

 

So thats how it works.

 

He sucker punched then bounced. Def a puss moment lol

 

At this point I don't want any news that's not officially the trade.
