Carmelo Collage! New Info

 

I've been doing my usual web surfing at various blogs and of course I've stumbled on tons of Carmelo Anthony goodness. Here are some new delicious tidbits as the drama of The Carmelo Road Trip unfolds.

Star-divide

Been checking out Tommy Dee's Twitter and came across some helpful information.

Source close to the situation: "#melo still has every intention of battling Miami as a Knick"

yeah, everything I hear is that they are not sold he'll extend there [Nets]. And the nuggs really want Harris? Really?

As we told you, the #nets aren't convinced Melo will extend thus are hesitant to include Lopez in the deal. they aren't sure Melo will extnd

Melo wants to battle the Heat as a Knick? Nuggets want Harris? Nets thinking twice about trading for him? All of these make me tingle with happiness. I know some of you guys don't like Carmelo but I do and if it's true that he wants to come here and battle Miami that would be great. Reviving that rivalry would be the best thing that's happened to this league since Gatorade. Everyone thought LBJ coming to New York was the best thing for the NBA but this would be even better, especially if Chris Paul landed here in a couple of years. Is Amare, Melo, Paul > Lebron, Wade, Bosh? It would be nice to watch. For all of those worried about him being traded to the Nets maybe these tweets can bring sunshine to your cloudy day. Personally I think he doesn't want to sign in NJ but he would if that's the only way to get his paper. He'll have to make a decision, money and shitty team that would get nowhere or less money (made up in endorsements) and a team that can make some noise.

What does Jon Rothstein of MSG Network know?

According to one report, the Nets are not willing to include Brook Lopez in an attempt to trade for Carmelo Anthony. But New Jersey's offer of Devin Harris, Derek Favors and draft picks may still give the Nuggets the best pieces in return for Anthony.

The Nuggets have had discussions with the Bulls that center around Luol Deng and Taj Gibson.

The Warriors may offer Stephen Curry, Andris Biedrins and draft picks but are not sure that they will make Curry available.

The Clippers are called a long shot with Chris Kaman and Eric Gordon the likely two targets whom Denver would look to acquire.


It seems like the Nets are willing to give away some "good pieces". Favors could be a bust so the Nuggets would take a risk with him and Devin Harris isn't all that great. The stars of this offer are the 32 1st round picks they have and how many they're willing to give away. That's the main lure but they are still unsure whether would extend there or not. If you want to give it up Nets fine by me, but when he skates to the Knicks will the fans call for Prokhorov's head? Bulls, Warriors and Clippers!?!? These are some pretty good offers, enough to beat out the Nets and their unlimited amount of 1st round picks? Maybe so but we'll soon see. This thing is getting deeper and deeper. It seems like another three teams come out with offers every day. Read Full Article Here

Kings making push?

"If and when the Denver Nuggets commit to a sign-and-trade for Carmelo Anthony, the Kings will thrust themselves into the conversation. Count on it," writes Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee.

"That said, Joe and Gavin Maloof have been consistent about two things: (1) They are not interested in adding role players to eat up the salary cap space they've finally created; and (2) They are absolutely interested in a game-changer type of player, someone who puts fannies in the seats and affects the won-loss percentage."

Nuggets to meet with Carmelo soon

 

Nuggets vice president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri said Tuesday that he's been in contact with Carmelo Anthony and plans to meet with him soon.

"I think I'm going to convince him to be a Nugget," Ujiri said, smiling. "No, I don't know, I can't make a judgment on that. Like I said, it's a process and until he tells me that ... we want him back, the city wants him back, ownership wants him back."

This is should be enough to satisfy everyone's Carmelo hunger for now.

 

Update : Carmelo Anthony has officially sold his Colorado home

Denver Nuggets superstar Carmelo Anthony and his newlywed TV-personality La La Vazquez sold their 6-acre spread in the Polo Ridge Estates, a residential community in Littleton, Colorado.

 

With a whopping $12 million price tag, Melo's home was on sale for $9.5 million. The mansion included: a 21,000-plus square-foot main house, a 5,500-square-foot barn and paddock, and a 1,600-square foot guest house. The main quarters includes eight bedrooms, seven fireplaces, 15 bathrooms, a wine cellar, a 3,000-square- foot  recording studio, theater, gym, seven-car garage and a 54-foot-long pool.

He appeared on MTV cribs not too long ago, here is the video. Takes a bit of buffering but this mansion is amazing. He must be getting something even better to sell something this sweet. There are two parts of the video so when the first half finishes, the second half will automatically begin buffering.

Good stuff.

Hopefully we can hook him. The Garden would be absolutely electric if we got Melo.

Especially since he's a hometown guy.

Those Bulls, Clippers and Warriors

Offers caught me off guard. Those aren’t shabby, add a draft pick and either of them could be the leaders in this thing. Doesn’t really matter though if Melo doesn’t resign but I like knowing whats being offered.

Curry would become the star of that team easily.

For him to that get the type of attention he gets now with the Warriors is a credit to his skills. It would double if he played in Denver. That is if they don’t completely fall off the map once Carmelo leaves.

A big reason he's getting so much attention is the prominence he obtained while still at Davidson.

Which was still due to his skills, so you’re totally right. I think it’s a big if about Denver falling off the map when Carmelo leaves. If they get someone like Steph back, it will help the process, but it’s going to take a while to get back to any sort of success I think.

Of course, Golden State probably won’t offer Curry in a package for Melo, so all that’s pretty much moot at this point.

I highly, highly doubt Golden State would part with Stephen Curry

Even if it is to get Carmelo Anthony…. man, they love that kid like Ok City loves Durant.

Not saying Curry is worth such an untouchable tag, but there really is just no way they move him. Not with brand new ownership and bringing in David Lee and with the rumors they would love to move Monta Ellis. Just sounds like something said just because it sounds good.

I hope the Nets trade Harris and someone like Favors for em

then he doesn’t sign the extention, and comes to the Knicks as a FA next offseason.

So they keep their assets, get Melo, and the Nets are proper fucked in all 3 holes (maybe its just another word for the 3 towers?)

I know its weird

But I actually want the Nets to be good. With the team moving to BK in a a few years, the Knicks could stand to lose a big chunk of their fan-base to the Nets, especially if they put out a lousy product. I think Prokorhov’s competitiveness and the Net’s possibly being good in a few years puts a great deal of pressure on the Knicks to make sound basketball decisions. Dolan is able to blatantly disregard the fans and logic because there’s nowhere else to go. If the Nets were already in BK, you’d never hear the name Isiah associated with the Knicks ever again.

True

But this could also spell another era of bad contracts to average players. If we’re talking a few years down the road, and Donnie’s not with the franchise anymore, we might go back to our ridiculous spending ways.
Speaking on a few years down the road, is everyone here on board with Allan Houston as Donnie’s heir apparent? I absolutely loved Houston as a player and had a man-crush on his jumper, but is he really shrewd enough to be considered front office material? I’m not sure.

by Nilov on Sep 1, 2010 11:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not sure either.

Houston is my guy and all but I rather have a proven GM that’s been with somewhat successful teams.

i like houston too

but we know nothing of him as fans.. only Donnie and inside mgm know what he’s capable of doing, to a certain extent.

As an outside looking in guy, I’d take Pritchard the former blazer

I'm a fan of Kevin Pritchard.

I have no issue giving Houston a chance, but it does make me very skeptical given that it seems like his current title is that of Dwight Schrute…. Assistant TO the Regional Manager…

This.

Kevin Pritchard should be the guy. His resume speaks for itself. Consistently grabs serious talent late in the draft. That would be my choice no doubt.

Oout of all this news

I want to know who bought that daym house. I wish i could afford that shit lol.

I’d cut down on the bathrooms though.. and fireplaces… would love that gym, pool and theatre tho.. i would never leave the crib

If you like how it sounds wait until you see how it looks!
