Denver rapes in this deal. You could have had potentially the same thing go down last summer with LeBron and Bosh if Cavs and Raps management weren't in denial.
Why the hell would you want to go to a sorry ass team like the NETS while you criticize your own Denver Nuggets for not improving the team enough during the summer?? You see how pathetic Carmelo logic and mind set is??? This guy is not a competitive guy!! A la Tmac!! All he cares about is his lifestyle more than winning....not the type of guy you want to be around your team. I can even see it on the court with that smile....it's like so what if i miss or so what if i made a shot....it's the same type of personality i seen in Tmac.
Yep no telling what Cavs could have got for Lebron friggin James. They could have got two current top prospects with draft picks. Raptors would have got a little less, but better than what they are now. Still though, I could see James and Bosh blocking the trades by saying they won't sign an extension because it seems like they had that whole Miami thing planned. Then on top of that, we know they both enjoyed all the attention of being FAs so yeah. No way they was going to pass that up unless the Lakers were the team they were going to. But yeah...I hope New Orleans is watching.
I have been really busy today, but this deal is not unexpected by me. The rockets never had a chance because they didnt have the assets from a talent perspective to be in the park. Denver wanted favors all along because he has franchise player type of ability. No one on the rockets have anything close to his talent. To those saying he's not about winning, its not about this year. This year, the nets will be relevant which is good for them. They will be a 4-7 seed,but they have a some moveable contracts and the only guy up for an extension is lopez who bis really good. This is about the next 5 years. I think boston will win it this year, but it wont be easy and people will think the heat team is a failure.These teams are setting themselves up for long term pushes. Also, paul has 2 more years left on his deal. If dj plays well and paul is threatening again, the hornets will probably take the local kid and some pieces back for a soon to be leaving paul. No big name player trust yao and his injury situation.
I thought it was the opposite. I thought we had the assets, but couldn't get the extension from Melo. Your saying it's the opposite?
I have to agree Denver did do just great compaired to the Raptors and Cavs who missed out on the obvious signs to get the same kind of deals for their stars. They could be sitting here with Favors or whoever they drafted with the 3rd pick also instead of missing out on Lebron and Bosh for nothing. They really were dumb. Nuggets gotta give them some props for realizing they were real close for almost falling for the same stupid move of waiting. That would have been disastrous again. Like the Raptors and Cavs.
you guys got played...melo isnt a net wont sign extension several teams are balking on deal knicks are lowballing bulls are out HE IS A ROCKET THATS WHY HE IS CHATTING WITH HOUSTONIAN MARCUS CAMBY AND DMOREY
No one on the rockets have the upside of favors. The rockets have assets, but no blue chippers. I mean, the most tradeable player the rockets have is brooks and probably chase. I like both guys, but if gm's are saying howard and favors in the same breath,that trumps anything the rockets can offer.
Yeah, but one can only assume. While Favors is a big IF to become Howard, which I highly doubt ( I see him as Antonio McDyess before the injury), Brooks or Martin are proven. If you have supposed insider info all along, would Melo have agreed to the extension from Houston?
...but if Melo doesn't want to go to NJ, that means nothing. In order for Denver to not get completely screwed, Melo to be in a winning situation, and Melo gets paid; he'd have to come to Houston. Top suitors for Anthony are New Jersey, New York, Chicago, and Houston mainly. NY is Melo's first choice but doesn't have enough assets to get a deal done. Chicago is unwilling to trade the assets require to acquire Melo. NJ might not be where he wants to go. That leaves Houston. If he wants to come here, it's all on him now.
Ok, gms are r****ded. favors jumps high..WOW see him in the summer league? DUDE SUCKED BUST no handles, cant draw fouls, no jumper,basically just jumps and thats it...not even close to amares desire or skills BUST denver is in for a rude awakening when that know they could have both knick picks,martin,hill,expirings,
Can't blame the Cavs for not moving LeBron - they had good reason to think he was staying. Toronto, on the other hand, was moronic not taking a good deal for Bosh while they could. That writing was on the wall. Carmelo absolutely does not give a crap about winning. Denver's been pretty good in his time there, they aren't far from making the Finals if they get some breaks and Kobe continues to age another year past his prime. And if he wanted to win, he wouldn't be going to the East with the Heat poised to dominate and the Magic loaded. Both he and Paul want to go to NYC, be media big shot celebrities, and have their own buddy ball squad with Amare. Lala wants to be in NY or LA. And he wants all his cash, too. That's all there is to it. Extremely similar to Bosh's decision - those 3 also wanted to go to NY, but the Knicks couldn't get enough cap space put together thanks to Curry. FAIL. Doesn't give a crap about Houston except to pressure the Knicks, and I doubt he cares about Chicago. It's also fairly clear that he may accept NJ, but isn't thrilled about the idea.
I agree with you whole heartedly. Favors=Patrick Patterson at best. I am talking about a Patrick Patterson who had better stats than him on a better team at the same time in his College career. Martin and anything else would be better than Favors will and I will go so far as to gurantee this Knicks thing with keeping their picks and Martin makes us far better off than giving them away now that he chooses New Jersey. I think we just gained another few guys better than what they will get out of Favors plus keeping Martin.
AK47 nor his agent know anything about this trade. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=294&sid=12567456 More reasons as to why I think it won't happen.
wow. the guy hasnt even played an nba game, and you're labeling him a bust. im pretty sure you dont know anything either
I mean, he doesn't but saying his agent hasn't even been contacted by Utah or Denver management is telling. His agent must be kept in the loop during these talks at least.
