The Nets' long quest for Carmelo Anthony ended Monday night when the Knicks and Nuggets completed a three team deal that will send Anthony to New York and push the Nets into back-up plans that will end Devin Harris' Nets career and lead to the team's second major restructuring in the last eight months.
The final deal breaks down this way: New York gets Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Renaldo Balkman, Shelden Williams and Anthony Carter from the Nuggets and Corey Brewer from the Timberwolves. Denver gets: Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, the Knicks 2014 first round pick; the right to swap first round picks in 2016; two Warrior second rounders and $3 million from the Knicks; Minnesota gets: Anthony Randolph, Eddy Curry and $3 million in cash from the Knicks.

by this logic, we should still be trading everyone except favors
The decision to move Harris is apparently mutual with Avery Johnson not happy with Harris and Harris fed up with the team, following a frustrating season in which he has been mentioned repeatedly in trade rumors.
Good riddance
Harris is the symbol of the Nets’ demise.
Wait, they’re trading Harris without Outlaw in the deal — I’m done.

I like Brooks. Bondy saying the Nets prefer Gallo, I for one do not.
NYDNInterNets: The Nets would definitely prefer Gallo over Felton or Chandler.

Chandler / Gallo / Outlaw
Morrow / Vujacic
Felton / Farmar

If Outlaw ain’t part of it, then they’re just trading for the sake of trading. Getting back for a pg who is OLDER than Billups ain’t the smartest move in the world either.
Opulence, I has it.
Would you guys take Brooks or Felton?
I like brooks but still think felton can run the floor better and provides that more energy that AJ wants in his system.
ill go with brooks

ive gotta admit you guys are pretty damn loyal fans
the problem with the knicks is that there are so many bandwagon fans now that the team is getting some attention.
A lot of it has to due with how NetsDaily controls the enviroment.
Civility is strictly enforced, so decent thoughtful people who really care about the team are not driven away by the multitudes of flaming morons in the blogosphere.

i know we have to make a choice
but at no point have i ever said to myself or others, “man, i wish the Nets could get ______” and “____” is anyone that has been mentioned in the last two weeks
this
although i like gallo and chandler, and i would grab mosgov. besides being upgrades, if they blossomed, knicks fans would be sick for years.
otherwise, all of the other names either bore me or make me ill
imagine something extremely witty here
i wouldn't
i’m actually rooting for you guys to get our players back.

The Nets must really want to get rid of Harris...

Portland would get Harris, Troy Murphy and likely a draft pick for Miller and Joel Przybilla, sources say.
Now we're giving a pick to Portland too?
We better be getting theirs back.

The Nets appear to be giving up their pursuit of Carmelo Anthony, according to a source.
New Jersey has presented the more attractive trade package to the Nuggets, but Anthony has been reluctant to approve an extension with the franchise.
Al Iannazzone of the Bergen Record contends that the Nets are still pursuing Anthony.

Miller comes off the books in time for Chris Paul, but why would Paul come here without Anthony? We’ll be God awful again next year. An aging Miller who can’t shoot, an undeveloped Favors, Outlaw, lord help us! Actually Pryzbilla can take us to the Finals~!
Looks like Proky is starting to prepare for Howard, D-Will, CP3

look avery we know you dont understand being the focal point of the team, being a leader, being a threat on the court but how can you throw harris and brook under the bus like this when you start stephen graham and is the main reason travis outlaw has a 5 year 35 million dollar deal after never averaging more than 12 ppg a season in 7 years and johan petro for 3 year 9 mil after he made vets min for 5 years and never progressed from his rookie year?

Harris + Murphy...
… is $20.9M, Miller and pryzbilla around $14.6M. Deal needs at least $2M more from Portland to match salaries.

That means I have been spending the last five months on Netsdaily, Draftexpress, and NBAdraft.net. For what?
No Melo and no picks and still a crappy product. I have to believe that management is smarter than this.
Why?
We were willing to give up Harris, Favors, and Four picks for the equivalent of Monta Ellis.
Why wouldn’t we give up one of our most valuable assets for a worse one dimensional scorer?

Who doesnt when you have a chance at t-jones and a good 2012 talent only to give it up for gallo
Dont get this the wrong way, i like gallo and felton but to take them by giving up our 2011 pick is a really bad deal. Gs pick maybe, but it has to be for the right person and i still believe we can get somebody better with that gs pick than gallo and mozgov
Agreed. Gallo pales in comparison to the player we'd be able to get at our pick.

as a loyal fan I endured a 12 win season last year but...
im done rooting for this organization if they trade Harris basically straight up for Miller; a 35 yr old point guard.
That trade makes the team worse and im done as a fan if it happens
Ridiculous. Harris and Miller are pretty much equal in skill, if you consider PER a good barometer of success, and Miller plays pretty solid defense. In addition, Miller’s game is better suited to the half-court crawl that Avery is running.
BUT if they give a pick away to make that trade happen, I don’t even know what to say. I might just vomit
you would be that upset over trading the leader of a 12 win team?
rofl. Harris is a scrub. No big deal that he’s gone.

When players are acquired, for a few months they can only be dealt one for one.
That means we’d be sending two players + two picks to Denver. Each deal would have to be a one for one.

Yes
He was fearless going to the lane. Always finished well. Not pass first and I always felt he needed to give his big guys a reason to hustle and move in the half court. He always had crap around him. And Avery stabbed him in the back after Devin vouched for him. I wish him very well.

We needed everything to go our way for it to happen
Looks like it didn’t happen, but at least we pestered the Knicks enough to give up more then they wanted.

Not a Chance
Unless contracts get rolled back, there’s no way the Knicks get a 3rd marquee player. It worked in Miami, because all 3 agreed to take a little bit less. Melo & Amare will be earning $40mil per year combined. No way CP3, DWill or Howard will sign up to make about $10mil per year.
Stern owns the Hornets so umm....
Paul for Bill Walker and Andy Rautins?

This is one of our better threads so far.
"This isn’t fantasy or rotisserie basketball. Why would Denver want Outlaw? Would you?"
who cares about melo. Him and amare won’t win a championship without a supporting cast. Defense wins championships and they both don’t have it.
Even if we got melo we wouldn’t have beaten the likes of Boston / Miami. I say LET the Knicks fool themselves into thinking he’s the answer to a championship and waste more money / time. We should re-build for 2012 with draft picks and hopefully the CBA will let us sign 4 superstars by then
I was just checking out the rumor on the Portland trade.....
It’s says this on hoopshype….
Front-office source in Portland tells me the New Jersey Nets have already turned their attention to shedding salary and are focused on obtaining guard Andre Miller. The Nets like Miller because he can play, and has an ending contract. They also covet a Blazers first-round draft pick or Rudy Fernandez. Oregonian
It looks like we might be getting a pick back
Yeah they are where else will they go?
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
And we will have at anywhere from 5-7 players on rookie contracts.
If one of them is a star we will be pretty set.
If its not Melo, its not worth it
None of this helps bring stars to the franchise.

Boston has one, maybe two years left in the playoffs.
They’re too old and are in win it all mode now because they don’t have a bright future long term. Boston will have to tank for a while, which sucks considering it’ll be during Rondo’s prime.
Woj confirming that Mozgov is included
WojYahooNBA: Several league executives talking to New York and Denver believe Knicks have caved and included Mozgov into trade package for ’Melo.

definitely amused at any nets fan
who has run Harris through the coals but think aaron brooks is a big pull. the grass ain’t greener on that side, folks. i promise you.
Colin Stephenson is almost worthless
He just sits on Twitter and waits for stories to come up, then copies it and writes it his, citing them as the source.
He technically never has to leave the house.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
We have to stop thinking about clearing cap space
We cant seem to attact any free agents. we are better off taking talent from other teams that are looking to unload salary and then using our draft picks!
Infuriating...
I liked the 12-70 season better than this one. At least then there was hope and promise. This season we’re spinning our tires in the mud and it’s just getting worse and worse. Now we’re dumping Harris because he’s rightfully unhappy with the handling of the rumors and HOPING that we get the Knicks’ throwaways???? This is disgusting.
To put a twist on the ol’ “hot girl” metaphor… THIS situation is like inviting a hot girl over for dinner… You buy some good wine, light some candles… She comes over and sits down, but instead of eating, she just pukes all over you for 6 months. Then, when she’s done with that, she steals your TV, kicks your dog, and makes you pay for her cable for 4 years. And to make matters worse, she does it all in a Knicks jersey.

FO are so full crap.
Warning if you want to read someone kissing the Nets front office butt and saying it taste like sweet honey.
look away now.
Now first all this BS about making the Knicks pay more then what they were willing are freaking serious?
Okay let me break this down.
The Knicks cleared cap space to sign two max players in the summer of 2010.
They signed Amare in hopes of convincing Lebron to come play with them. It didn’t work but had Melo been a free agent it would have worked.
So basically someone is trying to spin to me that you basically accomplish what the Knicks planned to do when they sign Amare??? BS.
Now I was down with the Portland trade if it got rid of Outlaw but since it doesn’t it’s crap as well.
If the best thing we end up is with Galleo that is such BS.
Imagine that. We taking the Knicks left overs and what’s so funny the same people talking bout duke three weeks ago are praying we get him.
Sorry I will still like the Nets and be a fan but this is crap but hey what else can you expect.
It’s all new.
Well I’ll wait for this summer when we sign more ex Knicks players.
I see how we are turning Knick fans to Nets or did he mean we are turning Knick players to Nets players.

The framework of the deal, which is expected to be completed Tuesday, would send Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Timofey Mozgov and New York’s 2014 first-round pick to Denver for Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams and Anthony Carter, sources said. The Timberwolves were fully on board with the deal, agreeing to take Eddy Curry’s expiring contract along with Anthony Randolph from the Knicks. Corey Brewer would go from Minnesota to Denver.

The Nuggets traded Melo to the New York Knicks tonight, a league source said. Denver gets Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors’ 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors’ 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash.
Anthony will go to New York, along with Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman.

Lol. Can't wait till this deal is voided because NYK isn't allowed to trade that pick.

Why?
Check out the protections on this pick
2012 first round draft pick from New York
New York’s own 2012 1st round pick to Houston (top 5 protected in 2012, top 5 protected in 2013, top 5 protected in 2014, and top 5 protected in the 2015 Draft). If Houston does not receive a 1st round pick from New York by the 2015 Draft, then New York will convey their own 2015 2nd round pick and 2016 2nd round pick to Houston. [Houston – New York – Sacramento, 2/18/2010]

What would happen if NYK traded that pick and then NYK was in the top 5 in 2012 and 2013. HOU would be owed their 2014 pick.

It hurts yet feels good at the same time. Glad the Knicks destroyed their roster for a team that still can’t compete with Boston / Miami / Lakers
and the fact that they won’t have any draft picks to improve their roster. AND the CBA’s new agreement is coming into effect. Amare, Melo, Billups taking 50+ mill of their salary cap
The choice the nets make now will have a huge affect on whether we will win a championship.
I see so much opportunities that sound nice but no physical evidence until Thursday 3:01pm
Nets are in a great position, so much moves to make or none at all and we’re looking at an infinite amount of possibilities. The only way I think we can reach that ultimate goal is keep our picks. But Outlaw or Murphy has to go.
Maybe it's just me but Knicks getting robbed does nothing for me since we are still the 17 win nets.

good job nets.
chandler, gallinari, felton, mozgov, 1st round pick. we made the knicks bench atrocious
i wouldnt say that..
Gotta see how Billups, at this age, handles D’Antonis system.
still don't get how this works without knicks getting a 2012 pick back
Its likely the Knicks don’t get a top 5 pick but they haven’t locked up a playoff spot yet so theres still a chance their in the lottery. Larry Coon old chat
So here’s the Knicks’ situation: They will have a 2011 first round pick (either their own or Houston’s). They have traded away their 2012 pick (again to Houston), but it’s top-5 protected all the way to 2015. If the 2012 pick is in the top-5 then Houston gets their 2013 pick instead. If the 2013 pick is top-5, then they get the 2014 pick. If the 2014 pick is in the top-5 then they get their 2015 pick. If the 2015 pick is top-5, then they stop trying to send a first round pick, and give them two second round picks instead.
So New York may be without its 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 first round pick — and we don’t know for sure which one it’ll be. This means that right now New York can’t trade its picks in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 or 2016 — because if they do so they might be without a first round pick two consecutive years in the future — and that’s enough for the Stepien rule to put the kibosh on it.

We HAVE to do something
We need a trade more so than ANY other team in the league. We can’t bank on Irving being here like we did with John Wall. Something has to get done. The Knicks are a division rival & what not but we’re in a different spot from them & you guys need to realize this. They’re breaking the bank & going for a Championship ASAP at the expense of most their depth & assets. We’re trying to change a culture & slowly but surely become a Juggernaut that’s the envy of the league. As Coach Anthony Macri from HoopsWorld stated last week “Rome wasn’t built in one day & NJ/Brooklyn won’t be either”
I would do nothing

i love felton for the nets, but are we exactly getting, just timmy and felton for 2 1st rounders, that doesn’t make sense. give me felton and gallo and we’re good
Felton doesn't play well in a slow system
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
In addition, the Nets appear ready to deal Troy Murphy to Golden State for Brandan Wright and Dan Gadzuric.
as NI says up top..
so…
Wright’s potential? That’s about the only positive of tonight…and think about that for a second..
Well since we HAVE to trade Harris
At least we are leaving him in good hands. He will be missed
Wow, can't believe all of you guys went ape @#$% over that.
It didnt even happen.

1/5/11 - Sasha nets game winner vs. Bulls.
2/9/11 - Clutch shots in overtime combine with career high 25 points in win over Hornets.
if we make a harris and 2 1st rounders for felton
i will never go to the Rock again! lol i will wait till BK opens
continuing to update
told things are preliminary, but there are two deals…as item suggests. May change.
Thank the Lord

he didnt give it his all… i still love proky with him as owner it gives me HOPE. Yes i said it hope. Remember when Ratner owned the team and i was worried if we were going to sell our cheerleaders to Taj Mahal casino in AC

You don't know what you're talking about...
Eddie Jordan was the offensive coach of NJ during the Kidd era and incorporated the Princeton offense to suit Kidd’s talents. Jordan would have been perfect with Harris running the show…Avery’s offense is slow grind it out and pound it in which doesn’t work with a PG whose game is predicated on quickness and a center who plays like girl.

Not according to yahoo
Yahoo! Sports is indeed reporting that Corey Brewer will be sent to the Denver Nuggets as part of the Carmelo Anthony trade. The Denver Post is reporting the same.
Essentially, from a Timberwolves’ perspective, they’ve traded Corey Brewer for Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry. The rumors that had been circulated over the weekend had the Wolves also sending a first round pick away as part of the deal, but none of the outlets that have been reporting on the trade have mentioned anything along those lines yet.

Prohkorov wins the negotiation
Here’s a news flash boys. Carmelo wasn’t signing an extension with us. Prokhorov just got the Nix to up their offer substantially for Carmelo and they will also be on the hook for a mega extension that will seriously cap constrain them. And who gets the rebounds? Plays the tough interior D? They are going nowhere. Can’t wait to see their fans turn on them as the realization sets in. It’s just like the good old Isiah days! Better yet, it’s a new day for Isiah in Nixdumb! Now if we can manage not to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by dumping Devin, I will really celebrate.

Might as well make the Nix pay as much as possible for him. Carmelo ain’t all that anyway, and the Knicks two stars won’t get them to the conference finals. We are in the middle of a rebuild and have lots of picks to do that with. Sure the Nix are still better than us. Think what it would have been like if all they had to give up was Chandler and Curry. And BTW, it’s Pat Riley who is going to bed with Halle Berry, Beyonce, and Rihanna, not dumdum Dolan.

What kind of business man is Prokhorov? He’s watching with his eagle’s eye yet he can’t see that the man he hired is inept and trading 1st round picks for players of equal or lesser value- Felton for Harris, what the ^#$% is that? Is that supposed to be progress?

i also hope the nets pursue those options, in that order. never been a gallo fan, but i here denver’s keeping him and mozgov anyway
Ok fine
So we lost on Melo. But there are good players out there for whom we can trade and significantly upgrade the roster.
Names I’ve heard are Aaron Brooks, OJ Mayo, Monta Ellis, etc.

Only at next years trade deadline....(assuming the CBA doesn't change dramatically)
Chauncy Billups makes close to the same as CP3 and DWill (about $1,5M less) next year. The Knicks would have to throw in a Landry Fields, and a draft pick, etc too to make it worthwhile for either of those two teams to want to trade their point guards. The Knicks CANNOT just dump Billups next year – they HAVE to use him in the trade to get one of those guys….

My father is not a basketball fan. His previous last Nets game was back in the Kidd Era, until I took him to the Rock this year. His only point of reference was to the Kidd Era. He didn’t believe the 2010-11 Outlaw Nets were a professional basketball team. It’s like having only watched NBA AllStar games all your life then going to watch Chinese CBA for the 1st time….

Info on NJ and former Knicks from Berger
The Nets, whose pursuit of Anthony ended Monday night, are not fully committed to taking two Knicks from Denver, according to one of the people briefed on the negotiations. The Nets’ involvement depends on which two of the four ex-Knicks the Nuggets want to trade. Nuggets officials have been pushing for some degree of assurance that they can flip two of the Knicks players they are getting for draft picks, which they value more.
It was presumed earlier Monday that Denver would flip Gallinari and Mozgov to New Jersey for two first-round picks, providing the final incentive for Denver to part with its franchise player and four-time All-Star. But sources indicated Monday night that the Nets may actually want Felton in that scenario, and that New Jersey prefers Felton over acquiring Andre Miller from Portland in one of several separate potential trades they are discussing.

4th off — They have no assets, and the new CBA is going to kill them
5th off – Anthony is the most overrated ball stopper in the league — their chemistry is gone and all the good they had is gone. They lost all their shooting and it will be easier for teams to guard amare with no shooters playing around him.

I think a lot of you are severely overlooked the Knicks (I’m not a Knicks fan). Yeah D’Antoni is still the coach and yeah they don’t have much — if any — defense, but the team still has some depth.
Billups/Douglas
Fields/Walker
Melo/Brewer
Stat/Williams
Turiaf/Williams
Not a bad starting lineup, yeah Turiaf is undersized, but Sheldon can come in and give the Knicks some quality minutes. He’s playing better this season than he was the rest of his career, Shawne Williams is playing well and Walker can provide some scoring off the bench (not that they’ll need it). There are conflicting reports on whether Brewer is being sent to the Nuggets or the Knicks, if he’s being sent to the Knicks then they get a good perimeter defender that can partially replace Wilson Chandler.
Not to mention the impact that Big Shot Billups could have in the playoffs. I could see a first-round upset if the Knicks draw the Bulls.

Knicks have no depth, and no bigs
If the Knicks were to play Orlando, who guards Dwight? Against Boston, who guards KG? Against the Heat, Melo sure isn’t going to stop the big 3.
Let’s say Amare or Melo get hurt, what exactly is left for the Knicks?
Sure, short-term, this might have everyone excited, but it’s not going to get them anywhere. They still aren’t any better than Orlando, Boston or Miami, and don’t have much cap space, or assets to improve.

There is one positve
the Knicks are OUT of the running for Dwill/Cp3/Howard. They will not have the cap room.
Yes. I like positives.
They’re not out of it for CP3 though becuase Stern owns the Hornets.

If no Hard Cap...
Knicks can trade Billups (and say Fields + Draft Choice) for CP3 or DWill. They can stay/go over the cap as long as the salaries are fairly close in the deal. They CANNOT sign CP3 or DWill as a Free Agent. They HAVE to trade to them next Feb – same bat time, same bat channel

i dont know why some people are hatin on melo, he did not want to come to NJ. Would u want a player on ur team if he does not want to be there?!?! i sure wouldn’t. As a melo fan, i’m pissed we didn’t get him but the knicks will be fun to watch and its awesome cuz they still won’t win a title until they get rid of d’antoni and learn to play defense.
A lot of us knew he was overrated the whole time.
I’m not even a Nets fan and I was baffled by the scramble for him. He is not worth what you guys were offering, so just be happy you didn’t mortgage your future for a 27 year old chucker who plays pedestrian defense.
I know it’s awful to hear “wait til next year” every year but now that the Knicks have dealt themselves out of the free agency and your team is the only large market team with cap-space available it will be an attractive destination for the big FAs of 2012. Even with a new CBA you have the advantage.

I personally like Cousins better.
I hope this doesn’t spark a Favors/Cousins thing (Lord knows that’s been beaten into the ground).
I just think Tyreke isn’t a leader like Cousins will be. Plus “The Blueprint” that Team Tyreke came up with just makes me uneasily reminded of Team LeBron.

I can't be mad at Melo, he made the right choice. He went to the better team.
It just sucks that the right choice is the Knicks. Then you have the Nets who at the same time as all this is occurring are being reportedly interested in trading Devin Harris and 2 1st round picks for Felton and Mozgov.

Its been fun arguing with you about Melo… but don’t be bitter with all this Knicks aren’t going to win anything talk. Nobody is saying they are set to be champions this season, but you are lying to yourself if you don’t think a core of Melo and Amare isn’t the envy of about 28 teams in the league. Role players can be found, but a foundation like the Knicks laid out tonight is very rare. Nets will be fine but to say the Knicks aren’t huge winners after tonight is just denial.
I'm sure Boston, Miami, San Antonio, Dallas and LA don't envy you one bit

i think few teams envy them
considering NO ONE else would pay amare that contract (uninsured) and two teams were seriously pursuing carmelo anthony.
Only a handful of teams had money to offer Amar’e and one of them got 3 maxes and Melo only wanted to go to one team while the second was just desperately trying to change his mind.
amare's knee(s) would worry me
along with the $100 million.
that and having two of 15 roster spots being paid $40+ million next year, when the salary cap could get even lower
what would worry me is having a 7 ft center who doesn't rebound
and only shoots jumpers as your franchise player. And a coach who can’t get along with any player in the league because his ego is the size of Russia.

bill simmons on D'Antoni
Don’t blame me, blame Mike D’Antoni — the guy who apparently forgot that Stoudemire’s knees are so bad that the Knicks couldn’t get his contract insured, then played him 576 minutes in 14 games over a four-week span. He hasn’t been quite the same since. It’s true.
“D’Antoni is running Amare into the ground. His knees won’t hold up. You don’t write about coaches putting themselves above their players nearly enough, Simmons. D’Antoni is coaching for his next job; he doesn’t care about Amare’s availability in 2014. Did you see the Detroit game? Amare played 54 minutes in double-OT, then averaged 41 the next 10 games. And when his knees go, everyone will blame Dolan and Donnie for spending too much money on him.”
Yeah, Amare sure looked tired in the All Star game.

no, they've been right
since he’s had microfracture surgery already, there is a very good chance he will require further surgery in the future. same situation with one of CP3’s knees, although he’s missing a meniscus, where amare has some cartilage damage. maybe its the same thing, i’m no doctor. but none of that sounds good
CP3 is not missing "a meniscus" he had a partial tear.

at which point, the team chose an optional surgery
which removed the meniscus (faster recovery time) instead of repairing it and having him miss the remainder of that season

There is very little longevity study for Amare’s surgery. The purpose of micro-fracture surgery is to promote a bone growth that acts as cushion. Everyone is different, and it might very well be that his bone produced enough cushion. He has done very well for 5 years.

but some things are inevitable. most players, if any, are not built to play 40+ mins/game 75 games a year. its a roll of the dice to pay and player with his prior injuries.
outlaw plays like amare’s knee injury already happened to him. i don’t what the guy’s deal was. i was never a fan of his since we signed him.
Everything is a gamble in sports, and I know the Knicks are far from being champion favorites, but those 2 players (even 1 if necessary) alone guarantee you the playoffs every year and thats already a huge step in the right direction.

Melo, Amar’e and Billups does not lead to mediocrity. They aren’t finals bound yet, but with a few smart moves they can be. That’s a lot more than I can say for the Nets.
Mediocrity is first or second round exits every year IMO.
You’re a move away if you consider that move adding a good enough defensive post presence that can anchor your entire D of which there are only 2 or 3 in the league.

... that will take time to develop. I say 2 years if everything goes well.
They would trade Lopez to the Magics so he can go to Disney. Sign and trade for Howard. (I have no proof that will happen but that is what I would do). We do have the assets and we can afford 2 max players. However, the knicks have to hit home runs with just about every signing or else you will be a playoff team and not a championship contender.
Can’t believe a Nets fan is saying the Knicks need to hit home runs to be championship contenders…Knicks are LIGHT-YEARS ahead of the Nets. If Knicks need a home run, Nets need some Grand Slams
yes we do lol.

we need more than that
But if you think the Knicks are winning a championship with Amare/Melo you fooling yourself.
We suck, I get it but that’s the truth about the Knicks
Kyrie Irving or BUST.
Meaning they need to find those specific role players that would make the knicks click.
You need 3 point specialist, A center who an rebound, play Defense, and some well a coach that will teach defense. Now granted, I totally agree that the Nets, my team, failed to get it done. I get that. And honestly, I’m kinda glad we didn’t because, IMO, WE were giving up too much. But even though both of those players are matchup problems you still need to find those role players to make that team go to the next level.
That's assuming Amare or Melo
is a Kobe, Wade, Duncan, KG or Lebron which they ain’t.
Both 2nd rate stars. Very talented but not leaders.
2nd round exit at best.
Kyrie Irving or BUST.
Melo is a top 10 player in the league, Amar’e top 15… not sure what your definition of second rate is
I do know Nets fans though adding Billups, Hamilton and Melo to Lopez would make them a top 4 team in the east though.
now you're just making yourself look silly.
is Monta Ellis a top 10 player?
Carmelo this year: 25.2 PPG 2.8 APG .452 FG% .333 3PT%
Monta this year: 25.3 PPG 5.5 APG .460 FG% .364 3PT%

Kobe Bryant 25.1 ppg, 46% shooting
Derrick Rose 24.9 ppg 45% shooting

Melo is also the best rebounder for his position in the league
Melo does one thing.... score
Mare does two things score and a few rebounds….. no D… So your other teammates have to pick up the slack.

Hey, you got the two stars there, and I give your team credit for paying a stiff price.
My team is still trying to get out of NJ shadow because nobody wants to go to Jersey… PERIOD. It is all about Brooklyn.
i've been posting the same thing
this whole time.
the knicks should’ve been in the draft lottery for the last decade if they didn’t piss away their picks
Yeah you're team is one of them.
When you got to shoot, shoot don't talk.

Time will tell
It’s not bitterness to say you guys just ate the poison pill. Read the blogs tomorrow, lots of smart people (i.e., not just Net fans lol) will say it. I was worried that you guys would put together a real contender, but not any more. It’s back to overpaying for marginal “stars”, being capped out, and even Isiah.
42-40
If Nets got Melo for Favors, Harris, Morrow and 4 first rounders everyone in here would be having a party. Knicks gave up Gallo, Chandler (guy who was gone anyways), Randolph (throw in when lee left), Mozgov (an unknown signing) and switched ray for chauncey (who may even be better)… dont see how this is a bad trade
It's a bad trade because you priced yourselves out of the free agent bidding in 2012 where you could have had the real superstar you guys need, Howard.
Everyone and their mother knew that NY needed a defensive presence. Melo just does what you guys already do, score a ton and play no D.

Ok you wait until 2012, sit on this website and go crazy over Howard rumors for 2 years… only to have him not care what Proky has to say. While I’ll watch two of the best players in the NBA win games.
I'm not saying the Nets will get Howard.
I’m saying he is who the Knicks should have targeted.
Stat and Howard is ten times better than Stat and Melo.

Amar’es knees are irrelevant, only thing that happened tonight was the Knicks got the best scorer in the NBA for Gallo, a guy that wasn’t staying, a guy that never played and an unknown russian center. Knicks also got a 6-9 defensive SG, one of the best leaders in the NBA and a nice back up big.
I have said nothing about STAT's knees and I would never wish for someone to get hurt.
He is not the best scorer. Durant is.
The thing is you didn’t give up just that. By getting Melo, you gave up your chance to ever win aa chip. You guys needed Howard period.

Thats just dumb
And if Howard stays in Orlando, I should have stopped watching the Knicks?
No. They're exciting to watch, but you guys don't have defense and Howard is the one who could have brought that to you.
Don’t insult my intelligence. I have not done so with you.

Because that logic is flawed, of course theres better players out there… but you can’t bank your future on some upcoming free agent when you can get one of the best players in the NBA.
You can when that player does what your team already does.
Knicks were already a top offensive team. You’ll just beat teams in the regular season by twenty instead of ten.

by blazin pp face on Feb 22, 2011 12:06 AM EST reply actions
Look at it this way:
Rather than getting Melo via free agency on a much lesser contract without giving up anyone, the Knicks gave up 4 of their 6 rotational guys (3 starters) for Melo, and now have Amare + Melo’s contracts taking up $40+ of their cap space for the next 5 years. It could have been worse.
They have to give it to him
No one comes to Minny in free agency

People being short sighted
I know it sucks to lose out on a big FA but honestly this isn’t a big deal going forward. Melo/Stat and even if they some how get Paul or D-Will is not going to be able to contend with Miami or Chicago this decade. As the team stands now they aren’t any better than any of the Nuggets teams from the last six years, no better than the Utah teams of the last decade, no better than the sun teams, and in my opinion not even close. The NYK aren’t better than Bos/Mia/Chi/Orl in the east, possibly not even better than Atl.
The key for the Nets, and the key for a lot of franchises right now is a slow build through the draft over the next several years with that one key FA signing down the road. I know people want to contend now but was there honestly anyway we were going to put a team together with Melo/Lopez that was going to challenge Miami and Chicago for dominance of the East over the next three-four years? Yes, it sucks to watch a team that isn’t going to do much over the next couple of years but in my opinion it sucks a lot more to be a perennial first round / once in a while second round playoff team that won’t ever be able to win it all and eventually blow up for pennies on the dollar (Utah/Phoenix/Denver/Portland/Atlanta) then a team that while bad/mediocre for a few years grows into a title contender.

It is if you realize that by the time you have a team that can contend with Miami/Chi in the East Melo will already be on the decline and you would have forfeited your ability to get young talent. Yes, it takes a bit of luck to get that Durant/Rose/Griffin/Howard/Lebron etc. in the draft, but that’s the real secret going forward, not signing big name FA’s who while exciting for the time being, will leave us ultimately short of our goal of a title.
We had our chance last year.
I a bit scared with Favors right now. We might have even waisted our own 12 win season to draft Favors! Especially with passing on Cousins! Even with luck on our side; We don’t know what to do with it even if it was staring in our face. HELLO 20 YEAR Mediocrity!!! 11 years ago I came out of the closet and announce the world I was a Nets fan! Looks like I’m gonna have to get comfortable in that closet again; sigh…

Those 3 moves would give us a lineup of
Miller / Farmar / Uzoh
Rudy / Sasha / Ross
James / Graham
Favors / Humphries / Wright
Lopez / Przybilla / Gadzuric
More importantly, Jordan Farmar would be the worst contract left on the team with two years and $8 million left after this year. Plus we’d have plenty of minutes for the young guys.
Harris gone and A SF rotation of anyone, Damion Jones and Outlaw as 12th man and

sup everyone
Hey, sup people, I’m a big fan of the site for its up to the minute info and funny as hell posts lol. I’ve finally decided to sing up and join in the fray.
Right now it sucks to be a Net fan but we just have to suck it up and deal with it. NJ has always been treated as the red headed step child in relation to NY so it shouldn’t be as any suprise that this happened.
As far as Prok and the new management, I can’t be upset. They at least swinging for the fences at every chance and you have to think eventually they’ll hit one out of the park. Even though on court, the Nets have underperformed, off court at least has been exciting.
Losing Harris is a downer but I’ve personally have never been sold on him. He reminds me of VC in that he can bring you fire at times then go MIA for chunks of a game. I honestly think Farmar runs a better point at times than Harris.
We still have 2 or so days left to make some moves so hopefully we can make something happen. I look foward to being a part of this Nets family.

If San Antonio and OKC did it, why can't we?
Everyone says no one wants to play in Newark, well who the hell wants to play in Utah or OKC? Those teams built their teams through the draft, wise trades, good coaching, and a great deal of patience. People forget that 2 years ago OKC started something like 3-29 and that was WITH Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, and a rookie name Russel Westbrook on the roster. Give it time fellas.

Guys lets not get crazy!!!!
No we dont have to root for the Heat to beat the Knicks. In fact, allwe have to do is root for the Bulls to beat both the Heat and Knicks. They are one of the only semi elite teams left in the east that hasnt magically transformed their team into a contender via some bogus trade or ridiculous FA pickup.
In my opinion the Bulls are the easiest team to root for right now and they will be my 2nd team as I wish ill will on the knicks and heat for the rest of the season
I was thinking exactly the same thing since yesterday. They built it back up the right way.
And look at Derrick Rose at the All-Star Game. He and Durant were the most humble-seeming people inside the Staples Center.

Yes Knicks will win the backpages tomorrow and people will celebrate. Then the playoffs will begin and when they’re knocked out in round 1 and realize after this year, they essentially have no picks, reality will set in. They sole their financial souls to get Melo and while they will get even MORE press than before, let’s be honest, our own damn radio station didn’t want to talk about us. As for us, we must remain resolute. After all, it was almost exactly 10-years-ago when we were in the exact same spot we’re in now and we had a good draft, made a few trades and went from having 7,000 people show up at opening night to hosting the NBA Finals. Now granted, I don’t expect that this time around, but we have to be patient. After all, going into the 01’ season no one could have possibly imagined how it would all turn out and no one knows how this will turn out. We will rebuild. Damn the torpedoes.

Brooklyn we go hard...
Ideally, right now King should be dangling the Golden State or Houston pick trying to get rid of Outlaw. Swapping Harris for a point guard whose contract expires in 2012 is a smart idea, too, because they obviously need to clear space for the coming class of Deron Williams, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard.
Look to trade Brook Lopez because he obviously isn’t going to be a good fit with Avery. It’ll be sad to give up on him but we can see what he’s going to be and I just don’t see how he gets much better. He can still probably get you a 1st round pick, and in 2012 we’re going to have to start thinking about giving him a big pay-day and I don’t think it will be worth it.
We’ve seen some of these plans for the arena and they are AWESOME, and I think Brooklyn is probably going to be the biggest major market for a high profile free agent to go in 2012 (correct me if I’m wrong, I didn’t look that up). Regardless of Favors’ development, the Nets should have a bunch of young guys to put around Chris Paul and Dwight Howard (that’s the best case scenario obviously but I’m just trying to point out that there are options where the team coudl turn out incredible)

finally someone in media notices this
Larry Coon
I’m still trying to find out the skinny on the Knicks’ 2014 draft pick. They can’t just send that pick out — it’s already potentially going to Houston, as is 2013 & 2015 pick — so Stepien rule would prevent this. Could be NY is getting a pick in this deal somewhere, or the pick goes in the “first allowable draft” after Houston pick is conveyed. Third possibility is that they have a side deal with HOU to change pick protection. Fourth possibility is that its really another team’s first round pick in 2014.
BTW, the trade call is probably tomorrow morning. They can reconfigure deal ‘til then, and parameters aren’t set ’til then.
Houston owns all of your picks through 2015 in trade purposes because of the insane protections you gave them in the TMac trade.

Larry Coon just tweeted
Here’s the story on the draft pick. It’ll be the “first available” after NY sends a pick to Houston.
so 2014 for all intents an purposes. they can't trade 2013 because they don't have pick in 2012.

thinking they either have to be getting a 1st rounder back from Minnesota to replace it or change its protections with houston. I’m really banking on them trying to get this trade done so fast that they didn’t realize it and the nuggets are like WTF and pull out

Lets hope we don’t just make trades for the sake of doing things. I think the only definites that NEEED to be done are trade Harris as he is damaged goods now. Trade outlaw as he can’t dribble the ball without it hitting his feet and going out of bounds, and trade murphey as he is doing nothing for us right now.
All in all its goods Melo didn’t come here. If his heart wasn’t into it, it would’ve never worked out for us.

Favors is our future and Avery needs to get that into his head.
You need to do everything as a staff to get the best out of the kid. He’s here to stay, well at least for 20 more games.
trade
deasline is not until thursday…i hear they might offer him to denver to get timofey

how about we do something different on netsdaily
anyone into art or music….. we culd always talk about that
Well, the Nets 2011 pick just became very valuable. No way its traded.
Could be top 5 pick.
Guess nothing more to talk about in a couple of weeks other than the draft again.
Man this is sad...
I can’t / won’t forget how down the nets fans were when we traded away jason kidd and then we waited a while ,due to injury, to see what devin harris could do and when we saw him play for the first time in a nets uniform, he was everything a nets fan could have hoped for and now we are just dumping him????
smh sad

Is it my imagination or were we just outflanked by Dolan and his gourmet popcorn consultant – Isiah Thomas?
PLAN FOR GREATNESS
1. Don’t panic. Be patient. We don’t have to do something just to do something or else it will just be another stupid move like signing Outlaw for $35M after losing out on LBJ.
Draw up another plan that makes sense in light of this recent failure and stick to it!
2. FIRE AVERY! Hire Jerry Sloan or Eddie Jordan.
3. So Nets failed in their objective. It doesn’t mean we should quit. Nets should still keep D-Will and D-Ho in their crosshairs even though it looks unlikely big name players are coming here. We should do it if only for due diligence.
4. Throw money and resources at scouting and finding better statistical models to predict player performance because it looks like we are building through the draft!
