That was Thursday. They had a breaking news link but it is not there now. I am on my phone so I couldn't link it.

The Nets are the most pathetic "negotiators" in the league.

They are the silliest rumor mill ever.

 

[Ghost Pepper]

I think he wants to be a KNICK though! How good can he be with the Nets? They wont beat the Celts or Heat so why do this without an Amare to team up with? He's basically recreating the Nuggets all over again as a Net!

The Nets are the most pathetic "negotiators" in the league.

Let's wait and see if they get him--and for how much--before we jump to that kind of conclusion.

If they get him for less than was rumored a month or two ago? I'd say negotiations will have gone quite well for them.

Then they must have combined stories then because my link says FRIDAY 2/18/11.

Is the difference between Brooklyn and Manhattan that big?

 

[andalusian]

Is the difference between Brooklyn and Manhattan that big?

Sure. Brooklyn has better Russian food (no, really). Manhattan has better Japanese and Indian food. Bagels/Delis are 50/50 I would say.

 

[THE HCP]

Is the difference between Brooklyn and Manhattan that big?

YES!!!!!

 

[MIXUM]

150% yes

 

[Pinwheel1]

He would live in the same place with either team, and he would eat and drink in the same places. But it still is a huge difference.

Hell the atmosphere between the Lakers and Clippers is huge and they play in the same building.

 

[illmatic99]

The MSG is sort of a dump, from what I remember. They'll have a newer arena in Brooklyn. The only appeal the Knicks have is this sort of artificial legacy.

 

[Ghost Pepper]

Brooklyn Nets brought to you by Jay Z and the Russian Mafia could be interesting!!

Marketed correctly to Melo it could work! He could author this team and be Brooklyn's Hero! In Manhattan he'll be following the Knicks lore, but in Brooklyn he will be foundation of how the Brooklyn Nets are defined and he wont be Amare's sidekick!

Giving someone a city much like OKC has done with Durrant might be enough for the Big Ego of Melo!

HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE FAMS!

[Ghost Pepper]

For what it's worth I'm in my 40's and I can't remember the Knicks winning anything in my lifetime, this worship for the Knicks seems unwarranted and I don't understand it!

 

[Mamba]

He'd be stupid to go to NY/Brooklyn. That team is not going to compete with Miami and Boston.

Just wait it out and sign with NY or force a trade to LAL ;]

I see Stern working a deal between LAL and DEN like this: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=68v7ocx

Denver would of course also have to send two unprotected 1st round picks to the L*kers as well.

 

[Mamba]

Do it Mitch!!!

You forgot to add Artest. LA would def. want to send him as well. And I had no clue Joe Smith was on the Lakers. Is he their version of Raef? Never mind, he'd have to make about 15M more to be compared to Raef.

Knicks back involved

Galanari, chandler, curry and Felton for billups, melo

Looks like we are back in hunt for Harris

Honestly, I'd rather have Felton.

 

[MickZagger]

Honestly, I'd rather have Felton.

Agreed. Billups is washed up in my eyes.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Agreed. Billups is washed up in my eyes.

No, I meant over Harris.

 

[oldguy]

Agreed. Billups is washed up in my eyes.

Not that I'm a huge Billups fan, but why do you see him as being washed up?
19 PER, 16pts, 5ast, 2rbs in 32 mins. All barely off his career numbers. He shoots 44% from three this year, a career best.

Is it on the other side of the ball that you see as his downfall?

Go Blazers

 

[THE HCP]

I'd take Harris over Dre and Billups on just the age thing alone. And I love Dre.......

He's doing alright, its just that he goes long stretches of not doing anything and yeah, his defense isn't very good. I just see the wheels slowly starting to come off. I can see Lawson taking over the reigns at the starting point for them next season.
