I'd be a lot more interested in seeing the Knicks lose out on Melo completely like they lost out on LeBron last summer.

I hate Knicks fans, personally. Even more than Laker and Spurs fans. Only thing worse than people with an extreme sense of entitlement, is people with that extreme sense of entitlement, that have done absolutely nothing to earn it. It'd be hilarious to see the Knicks f**k up royally, again.

Not sure if anybody else has mentioned this...but apprently ESPN mentioned on NBA tonight that they felt from what they'd been hearing that Chauncey was more of realistic idea to be traded then Melo? Somebody else tell me that they heard this report.

Wouldn't say I'm very surprised maybe melo gave a hint he doesn't want billups on team? I remember a rumor in summer was that melo didn't like playing with billups.

according to the TNT guys he is laying down not getting down Those TNT guys have proved once again that they don't know what their talking about. If they have really ever watched Melo, they will know he plays uninspired quite often, which is actually one of the reasons why I think he is not a true superstar. So his play or demeanor is no different this year. That actually surprised me as I thought it would be different, but so far I have seen nothing different.

1. The myth
You've heard it a zillion times already this season: No team out there is going to be willing to trade for Melo unless he also commits to a contract extension as part of the transaction.
Consider this your invitation to forget what you've heard.
The theory implies that Anthony will ultimately be able to force his way to the Knicks before the Feb. 24 trading deadline -- if that's indeed where he wants to be, as is widely presumed -- because the other 28 teams wouldn't dare consent to merely renting Melo for the rest of the 2010-11 campaign this close to his free-agent summer, thereby leaving Denver with no choice but to work with New York.
Yet that's just not so.
"Ridiculous," said one Western Conference general manager.
A handful of team executives consulted this week by ESPN.com believe there are more than a few teams in circulation that would be willing to trade for Melo without getting his name on an extension, even though the risk of losing Anthony without compensation in July is precisely why countless league observers believe the Nuggets will eventually have to give in and give him up.
How is that possible? As another GM explains, there are always teams willing to bet that a star like Anthony will like their situation if they can just get him to town.
I know of two such risk-taking teams in Texas alone -- Dallas and Houston -- that would take on Anthony sans extension if their assets proved sufficiently attractive to construct a three-team (or more) deal palatable to Denver. Orlando is also presumed to be another such risk-taker, given the obvious lure of pairing Anthony with Dwight Howard. And Charlotte, with Melo's buddy Michael Jordan in charge, has been suggested as another willing Melo dice-roller by various front-office sources.
The Nuggets, if and when they reach that point, would obviously prefer to trade with a team Melo wants to join long term because they'd get more in return. Assets of the highest quality will be harder to score in a deal that isn't an extend-and-trade, as the GMs call it.
The fact, however, remains that the extension is not everything as I once believed, too.

lala and melo are either lying to safe face when they leave (dont want to be the bad guys) or got word about some CBA rule that will cost them millions if they dont sign our extension (or sign and trade).
no way lala does a 180 just like that without reason.
id still trade his ass out for ANYTHING right now. we arent getting a star, we arent getting a great pick...we had our chance to get 25 cents on the dollar with the NJ deal and didnt take it. now we have to settle for 10 cents.
and id at least try to get a top 10 pick this year rather than waste a season to get destroyed in the playoffs and get the 20th pick instead (and watch melo walk).
i HATE masai and josh right now.
