    Can't blame him for that one.

    Get your 130 million, wait a year. NY strikes out in free agency and then demand a trade.

    No contending team is going to trade anything but cap space for him, nor will he even demand a trade. He wants to stay in New York and make as much money as possible.

    Yep, $130 mill is $130 mill. He'd have been a fool not to take it.

    That is just freaking hilarious. Yeah, who cares if the team sucks. I can always whine myself out of this situation whenever I feel like it. Melo at least showing who's the boss on that team.

    Somebody should punch Carmelo Anthony right in the throat right now. Right in his lying, scheming Adam's apple so that he'll be too choked up to say or do anything in response.

    Yeah basketball (winning) doesn't matter outside the paycheck for some guys. Get woo'd, get paid and get the girls.

    Personally, I feel like we dodged a bullet.

    Can we move on now?

    Its true though. The NBA is run by its superstars. If they request a trade, it will most likely be met.

    Bosh probably would if it meant LeBron would continue to tuck him in at night.

    It is relevant if it's the last big contract for a 30-year old. Dwight knew he had at least one more big payday on the way.
