See Red Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Pleasepleaseplease make a trade for him, Olshey. Getting Melo would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt to Griffin that the Clippers are willing to spend to keep him around. Also, the Nuggets now aren't going to get anything better than Kaman/Aminu/the Minnesota pick in return for Melo. The Knicks are content to wait it out and sign him in free agency, which would mean that the Nuggets wouldn't get anything in return. If the Nuggets let Melo walk without getting anything in return, they're the dumbest franchise in the NBA by far.Melo doesn't appear want to be a Clipper and any deal is dependent on Melo signing an extension with his new club.

ESTONES6 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Mikhail Prokhorov has instructed his front office to walk awayfrom negotiations for Carmelo Anthony, citing the Nuggets' demands and the toll the public nature of the talks have taken on the Nets said to be involved.I'm disappointed, but I think this was the right call.I love it. Call their bluff. Denver knows he is signing with the Knicks in the off season without getting anything in return. So if you are the Nets, why not just sit back and wait for the deadline to roll around. They have the best offer on the table. Leave the ball in Denver's court to either stand pat and pray that for some reason Carmello resigns, or let the Nuggets come to them in 2 weeks and beg for the same offer.

knnhrvy16 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hilarious moment today during the Jazz/Nets game. I just about rolled off of my seat, honestly.As is well known, Kris Humphries is going out with one of the Kardashians (I don't know their names). The broadcast from Utah's station went something like this (Craig Bolerjack and Matt Harpring are the broadcasters):*Camera shot of Kardashian on sideline*Bolerjack: Hey look, there's Miss Kardashian, here to support Kris Humphries.Harpring: She was blowing kisses to him earlier. You can't blow kisses during a game! The guy needs to be focused! (laughs)Bolerjack: Well Matt, it might be working. He's having a decent game tonight.Harpring: (laughs) I bet she doesn't even know what's going on. She probably has no idea.*Kardashian pulls out phone and starts texting*Bolerjack: Oh there she goes, she's texting now!Harpring: Yeah, she has NO idea what's going on. Humphries is going to do something big, and she probably won't even watch. She's going to miss it.*About seven seconds later, Humphries throws down a two-handed dunk over Mehmet Okur*Bolerjack: Oh! Humphries with a big two-handed jam, and that extends the New Jersey lead to eight!*camera shot back at Kardashian*Harpring: She's STILL texting! She totally missed it, I knew she would! (laughs)Bolerjack: (laughs) And her friend next to her is trying to explain what Kris just did. She missed it!*Kardashian nods and keeps texting*Harpring: Yeah, she's like "Cool. I don't know what that means". Wow!-----A good funny moment in an otherwise dissapointing game. My LOL moment of the day The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Melo doesn't appear want to be a ClipperHe hasn't said either way, I don't think. But if it turns out that either Melo or the Clips' front office isn't interested, trading for Danny Granger is another possibility and a solid Plan B.

Lights Out Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm not saying it's likely, but it's worth a shot to try to get Granger if we can't get Melo.

Filling that hole with someone competent may be the key to consistent playoff appearances.So would contracting half the Conference, which might actually be easier.

Please explain to me what sense it makes for a 10-31 team to rent Melo for half a season before he up and leaves for the Knicks...Like See Red said, Melo hasn't expressed any interest in signing the extension with the Nets (He hasn't expressed any negative feelings towards signing the extension either, so it's all up in the air right now.). But even if he were to say "Ok I'll say," don't expect the Nuggets to make the deal until February 1st at the earliest. Their last game against the Nets is January 31st, and I doubt the Nuggets would want to trade Melo (and Chauncey, if the deal I've heard about happens) to the Nets only to have him and the Nets embarrass them on TV the next night.

Lights Out Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The double-double streak is over, but the Clips still get a win. Also, how about the Spurs? They're 36-6 right now, but everybody talks about teams like the Heat (undeservedly), the Celtics, the Lakers, and even the Magic as top teams in the league currently, while saying little about San Antonio. I've always liked the Spurs' classy organization, so I'm glad they're doing so well. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
