Melo's gonna be a Knick at the end of the day. If he wanted to play for New Jersey, this trade would have gone down already with all of NY calling for his head.

this.

unless NJ can somehow show him that can compete, which i dont think is possible.

i honestly dont think a trade gets done. more than likely he signs with NYK in the off-season unless some other teams comes in and wow's him or makes a strong push.

You're following the same pattern you started with LeBron last summer.

Denver called his bluff and he's going to NJ.

Our fault trading for T-Mac. We might as well have kept him instead of getting Mason. If for anything, because he'd be a good trade asset nowadays.

Is what it is.

Whether Melo comes here this season or during the off-season, he will be a Knick.

[h2]Karl Still Hopeful Nuggets Will Remain Intact[/h2]
Jan 15, 2011 9:51 AM EST

George Karl has dealt with rumors involving Carmelo Anthony for the better part of five months, but he's holding out hope that the Nuggets will remain together.

"My characteristics of my seasons have probably been more stormy than smooth and sunny," Karl said of the rumors. "But I would like to have some smoothness.

"We're in a good place through a tough year. ... Hopefully, we can continue to play like we're playing right now."

Denver has looked great in their last two games, tallying 61 assists and winning by an average of 31 points.

"We probably would want better circumstances," Karl said. "But we've done our job pretty damn well all year to get messed up on what-ifs.

"I still think there's a window of what-if we're all together, what-if we become a really good team? Until that (doesn't) exist, I've got to keep the guys playing every game in that mentality of get better, get smarter and do our jobs — and our job is to win."

[h2]Knicks Will Soon Trade Randolph For Pick[/h2]
Jan 15, 2011 9:22 AM EST

The Knicks plan to trade Anthony Randolph for a first-round pick within the next two weeks, according to league sources.

Chris Broussard of ESPN.com lists Minnesota, Indiana and Portland as the most likely destinations.

New York's ideal scenario would be to use the pick they acquire for Randolph in a package for Carmelo Anthony, but the trades are not completely related.

[h2]Nuggets Can Grant Nets Face-To-Face Meeting With Carmelo[/h2]
Jan 15, 2011 10:02 AM EST

The Nuggets can grant the Nets a face-to-face meeting with Carmelo Anthony to discuss a possible contract extension before a trade is finalized, according to the league office.

New Jersey would want such a meeting so that they can work on getting Anthony to agree to an extension without violating any tampering rules.

Even though Denver might really want to trade him doesn't mean they will if he only wants to come to the Knicks. I don't get where the idea of him softening up to the Nets stems from. To me it's either he's about the money or winning. If it's between the Knicks and Nets when it comes to winning I'm not worried. He'll force a trade to NY or hold out until the off season.

That's if all his quotes in interviews are true.

From his recent interview on ESPN where he talks about thinking about opening up the Nets new arena in Brooklyn in the future and possibly going back "home" to BK. If he wasn't softening up he wouldn't even mention something like that.

He just didn't mention the other part where he thought about how the team would lose on opening night and struggle the rest of the season to make the playoffs.

Seriously though, the way I read that is that he was legitimately considering all options. He also talks about staying in Denver and winning a ring there too (in the article). I don't think he's softened on the idea of staying with the Nuggets though. He had to give them some thought. This whole speculation thing is gonna last a while so it don't hurt him much to divulge some of what he's thinking of instead of giving the same replies.

From his recent interview on ESPN where he talks about thinking about opening up the Nets new arena in Brooklyn in the future and possibly going back "home" to BK. If he wasn't softening up he wouldn't even mention something like that.

He just didn't mention the other part where he thought about how the team would lose on opening night and struggle the rest of the season to make the playoffs.

Seriously though, the way I read that is that he was legitimately considering all options. He also talks about staying in Denver and winning a ring there too (in the article). I don't think he's softened on the idea of staying with the Nuggets though. He had to give them some thought. This whole speculation thing is gonna last a while so it don't hurt him much to divulge some of what he's thinking of instead of giving the same replies.
