Sources: Carmelo open to multiyear deal with Rockets

Well I was right once again. Carmelo doesnt want to come here.

It doesnt matter. Half of you dont even want him,so you will not be mad when we dont get him.

Its like Bosh, you guys wanted him, but once he chose Miami all of you were like "he sucks,scola is better".

Same goes for melo. Many of will convince yourselves he is a thug and that Battier is a better rocket because of his community service and nice guy attitude and defense.

The reason Carmelo doesnt want to come here is legacy. You will see. Its Knicks or bust. This is relayed from a friend of his but Im to lazy to upload article.(plus im burning from gasoline from changing fuel filter today)

He is JUST LIKE BOSH. He wants image,legacy,fame,and winning(he is scared of lakers according to friend,and so that makes me think,DUH what about the HEAT?)

Man Melo sure is dumb. Heat have many years of being dominant,Kobe is getting old and injured and so Heat will prevent Knicks from ever reaching finals, whereas melo to rockets atleast has a small chance to beat lakers.

Screw Melo. He is not a thug,he is justa dumbass. Just like Bosh. Bosh trying to act all tough,and good looking, when in fact while in Toronto he was considered the weakess and ugliest guy in nba.

Getting on Rockets will not help Melos legacy. If he wins a championship ,he wont even be on the cover of SI . Remember 94?

Thank the NY media /espn location for all of this. Hype,fame,mags,endorsements, all run through large markets.

Punks like Bosh,Lebron,Melo are the newest hip hop breed of nba stars. They DONT GIVE A CRAP about being the man, or china, or even starting allstar, they care about national tv exposure,espn highlights,rap deals, etc....

Thats why I think Morey will never,and I mean literally never get a superstar here. They wont come through trade or signing, and we are always to good to get a top 3 pick.

 

Sam,

What makes people think that you have to trade for a Superstar?

This team is so much better than the one we had when Yao was having fronting issues, Brooks is better, Kevin Martin is here, CBud is here...man soooo much better.

I agree with Morey, I just don't think Melo is a Superstar....

Look, I am done with this...I have said my piece, I think Melo is overated.

Others don't.....

Gonna leave before the DDogpile gets any worse.

You will do anything if Melo is really willing to rox and sign long-term deal. However, IMO, Melo is more like a "attention guy", taking winning second.. so, i don't think Houston is the place he wants.

 

who was the cneterpiece of the champion 04 pistons? we need to forget hiphop wannabe superstars like bosh and melo and focus on a bunch of good role players like martin,brooks,yao and maybe add a iggy or 1 more good role player.....they are all professionals ,if they dont want the last shot in 4th quarter then i dont want them on the team anyways.

 

i agree. i actually think melo sucks. geez his 3pt shooting is WORSE than iggy's,i like iggys passing better,and iggys D is WAY better than melo

ill say it now iggy>melo

 

if overated means ability to win a championship, I agree. But Melo is clearly very good superstar. Maybe, like TMC was in Orlando.

 

look lets break it down

according to a melo friend, he wants fame and winning ,and on knicks

heat,magic,boston,bulls are all BETTER than melo/amare

and will be for quite a few more years, not only will melo not win a championship with knicks, he wont even be a top 3 team in east.

so how can he get fame when the knicks are worse than those four teams?

melo = dumb

Now, lets say he joins rockets, will he get the legacy and exposure like knicks? NO

But we would be better than an aging fast kobe, aging curse dirk, aging duncan, and so really its durant/rockets to finals for the next few years if melo joins. Not to mention china market and billions watching.

I can understand bosh wanting south beach/lebron/championship/73 wins but why does melo want NY? Pusywhipped by LaLa thats why.

Thats not a man.His wife tells him where to go. If your not going to be the man of the house, might as well be single or transgender bi.

Melo has always come across that way to me. Plus, the rumors of HEAVY pot smoking. HPD doesnt mess around. He is scared of HPD.And huntsville prison would not be fun (but then again melo might like it).

 

2 forwards get voted starting allstars.

you know lebron and bosh will get the votes. bosh because he is on the juggernaut heat

melo and amare will ALWAYs be allstar bench players the rest of his career...not to mention bulls,boston,magic,heat will ALWAYS be better than the knicks,

joining rockets INSTANTLY guarantees allstar starting status for the next few years because of china vote, and the fact that duncan,kobe,dirk are aging beyond belief, and that roy is now injury prone, its only durant and rockets(if melo joins us)


so knicks = no starting allstar ever, not top four seed ever,no home court advantage first round, and when you lose in NY you're laughed at and bashed,VERY high state taxes,no privacy for weed smoking because of media,Ny times very hard on players,no finals appearance EVER,no role players so he would still need to avg 30 just to be average team

so rockets= guaranteed starting allstar for years,top 3 seed atleast,high chance to reach finals, smoke weed in privacy, many role players to carry load and lessing burden


CHOICE IS CLEAR ....Is melo smart? Accoring to friends,rap videos,dui,weed, melo is not smart. He is the black beavis and amare is butthead.

 

I don't know what you're asking, but it seems like you also think we need to trade for a superstar.

Look, if you don't want to answer my question (which was the first sentence in my post), don't answer it. But nobody buys your "DDogpile" whining, like everyone is picking on you. When you post, expect people to disagree with you, even to comment on your posts sometimes, or ask questions. Don't post your thoughts in a thread (57 times so far in this one) and then complain that people are "dogpiling you". The fact is that you've posted 31 times more than the next most frequent poster on this thread, so expect that you'll get more replies and don't get your panties in a bunch when you do.

 

the rockets are used now by melo to force NY to trade more talent in order to get denver to approve,(melo wants ny so bad he doesnt care if randolph is shipped)

remember, melo needs deal done before lockout. he also sold house in denver. knicks might be lowballing denver,so melo releases other teams to force ny to give up more.

all you thinking that rockets arent leverage are fools. yes it forces ny to give up more talent,but maybe melo wants to go there asap and doesnt care if talent is sent to denver.

its sad that moreys assets are now being used as leverage by bosh,melo just to get want they want.

if im morey . i come out publicly today and say "we are not interested in melo"...that will shut up players real quick from using the rockets for leverage

 

If 29 out of the last 30 teams to win a title won with a superstar, and 1 won without one, which of those paths do you think is more likely to lead to a championship?

 

Ok, so what if Brooks or Martin develop into that Superstar player?

Not saying they will but their stats are very close to Melo in overall impact.

thank god melo isnt coming here. you guys have no idea the bullet we dodged

1.iggy is better and we still have a chance at iggy
2.melo is a pothead,no D,and misses about 15 games minimum a year
3.will be overpaid the max ,one way player, no D,no three point shooting. strictly layups and free throws
4.refs swallow whistle to even out fouls calls, melo wont get the calls here as he would being the only free throw shooter on nuggets
5.we would have to deplete alot of talent for this 1 way player,who might leave anyways....remember if a player forces a trade with 1 team,he will do it again with his next team(rockets)
6.LaLa doesnt like houston,if he came here, his wife would tell him to hit NY as soon as anything bad happens on rockets
7.HPD would lock him up ala pippen
8.LaLa is ugly. He should have went for Kim Kardashian or a swedish chic like tiger woods did.
9.remember he doesnt play D,neither does amare,and Dantoni doesnt preach D,melo wants the easy road ,easy coach,and lazy. Do we want a player who doesnt like to play D? Atleast Martin tries,I think Melo doesnt even try on D.

 

Neither one has a chance to be a superstar in this league. Really good players, occasional all stars possibly, but superstar, no.

 

You don't understand it's not always about stats. It's the impact that Carmelo brings that NOT ONE player on the Rockets can bring. Cause if that were the case, we wouldn't be searching for that "special player"

 

WTF! dude... do you realize how many times you have contradicted yourself today?

 

You just described Melo to me.


DD

 

Wrong.

 

DD, this is very close to insane. Would you please leave the safety of your bomb shelter and get some fresh air for a while? I swear, you're losing it down there.

 

The advanced metrics show that both AB and Martin have offensive stats very close to Carmelo....and at a much cheaper rate.

If Melo was a better passer, rebounder or defender, he could seperate himself more, but he is mostly an offensive scorer, and not much else....

And, his usage rate is pretty high, which means he needs the ball a lot.

That is how I see it....but the bomb shelter is a little musty.
