truepg 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.A smart move by the Nets right there. There wasn't any indication that Melo would sign an extension with them, so why send away your promising young talent and future first round picks? Had Melo then bolted to another team during the summer, they would've stuck in limbo without their young talent and draft picks to build around. That's considering this move isn't a ploy. Never understood the Nets' urge to get Melo without an agreement on extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Wiz fall to 0-20 on the road this season, with next road games @NY and @OKC (both unwinnable for the Wiz IMO). Setting a new record doesn't seem too impossible at this point. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 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.I actually hear alot about the Spurs here and there. They're playing the best I've ever seen them play, they're definitely fun to watch. If the Jazz couldn't get there, I'd like to see Duncan get one more ring. He's as classy as they come, as well as the entire organization. They really set the standard for winning with class and I hope to see them continue to do well.Just not against the Jazz, of course 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...

Wow) would've been the Spurs? Everybody keeps thinking that they're gonna get old and fall off, but apparently that's not the case. I honestly thought that their window as being an elite team closed last season, but I guess Pop, TIMMY, & Friends have decided that they are going to fall off when they damn well please.

Lights Out Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 A frustrating loss for the Clippers last night. It really highlighted our weakness at the small forward position, which simply needs to be upgraded by the deadline, period. 9 points and 9 rebounds all night between two small forwards is unacceptable and a glaring reason why we lost.

crashcarson15 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 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. It's not like the Pacers are anywhere close to seriously competing even with him.Maybe not seriously competing, but they'd be doing something your "one piece away" Clippers wouldn't if the season ended today... going to the playoffs.

Hell, the Clippers would be in the 8th seed in the East right now with their same record, IIRC.That argument can't be used because the Clippers' schedule is geared towards playing more western conference teams. Are they better than the top eight teams in the east? Maybe, maybe not, but it's too hard to say because their schedule is different from any eastern conference team's schedule.
