Around SBN: Tiger Woods Makes His 2012 PGA Tour Debut

Carmelo 2011



So this probably could be a quick FanShot so im sorry for the length, but scanning through the ESPN Insider Rumors for the NBA is saw the title that said the Knicks man not be ready for Lebron in 2010 and may be turning their attention to Carmelo in 2011.  Now a Knicks buddy of mine has been pumping that idea to me now for 3 some years seeing as Melo was born in New York and its the arguably the biggest market in all of sports.  So my question is A.) can anyone fill me in on the ESPN story, and do you think that if the Nuggets dont win a title or come very very very closein the closing years of his deal, would melo be lured away be the attractive NY market.

Personally i think the Nuggets will offer him a max extension within the next few years so this is not an issue.  But my favorite player of all time, on my favorite team, i have to bring it up now.

I think Carmelo will stay with the Nuggets as long as they want him. I think Melo would like to be recognized up there with Lebron and Wade (and should be) and I know he just switched agents for that reason so NY could be appealing to him BUT Melo is an extremely loyal guy, which is why he’s my favorite player (one of the many reasons).

Yes, NugNugz is right ... and a good article to pass along.

It’s sounding like Melo will talk extension with the Nuggets before he becomes a free agent.

Also, the New York thing is just a rumor being started by a columnist for now, but it’s basically a no-brainer that if they missed out on LeBron and Melo did become a free agent that New York should make a run at him.

Agreed....

Naturally the first thought was that he is going to sign an extension next year so he does not have to worry about the opt out the next summer. Thanks for the article post, im out here in Philly and i never think to check the Denver papers.

Melooooooo

The two you can consult ...

The Denver Post will be your best source for quick hitting pieces and breaking news.

The Rocky Mountain Independent is a great source for longer reads on Nuggets related pieces. Chris Tomasson formerly of the Rocky Mountain News is running the show over there.

yaa

prob just sign an extension before b/c he is loyal to the franchise and has said he wants to retire here

Tis a rare thing but it still happens…Tim Duncan, Paul Pierce, heck even Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Maybe Melo will follow in those footsteps and I think as long as we continue surrounding him with good talent, he will.

I wouldn't guarantee Melo staying in Denver

Just because he says he would like to stay here. You hear that from every star player about their current teams (except for Lebron). And realistically, it’s every players dream to play for their home town team (except for Lebron). I hope he stays, and I truly think we have a great chance of keeping him since we have by far the better team, but you never know.

Does Melo even consider NY his hometown? He was born there but to my knowledge he’s always represented Baltimore. And the Wizards will be over the salary cap for a long time….

That would be a very sad day.

"C" is for Championship...that's good enough for meeeee!!!

also...

I doubt that New York goes the entire 2010 offseason without making a major splash, which would then cut into their 2011 money for melo. So unless they want to anger Knick fans for another year, I doubt they would have enough money for him anyways. PS Melo loves it here.

by hvino on Jul 21, 2009 9:02 PM MDT reply actions  

Maybe two years ago I could see it

But with how much Melo has progressed in Denver and how much Denver has started to embrace Melo, and now that there is a legt window to a championship, especially if the Lakers lose both Ariza and Odom, I think he will want to stay here, and I think the Nuggets will want him here long term.

I’m moving to NY this fall so I’d LOVE to still be able to see him play in person, but I think it would be bad for the Denver franchise. Not enough players play their entire career in one uniform and Melo absolutely needs to do that.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
