Breaking News: Carmelo wants to be traded before deadline

[CHi1PriDe]

According to one New York newspaper, Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony no longer wants to play for Mike D'Antoni.

New York Post beat writer Marc Berman writes that Anthony told a friend that he wants to be traded.

Writes Berman:

According to a person familiar with his thinking, Anthony's disillusionment stems most from a belief coach Mike D'Antoni and interim GM Glen Grunwald do not trust him. He is surprised that after all the Knicks gave up to trade for him, he has not been asked for more input on personnel decisions, as Deron Williams has with the Nets...

... On Monday night, Anthony only wanted to remain a Knick if he had assurances D'Antoni wouldn't be back next season....

Anthony is not close to owner James Dolan the way Amar'e Stoudemire is. The source said Anthony gets along best with assistant GM Allan Houston,who eventually could succeed Grunwald....

...Though Stoudemire lobbied for the Knicks to trade for Anthony, the pair's friendship has not flourished. "They're not as close as people think they are,'' the source said. "It's an awkward relationship.''

Copied from other, more shittier forum,
Carmelo Anthony’s discontent with the Knicks organization became so severe after Monday night’s loss to the Bulls, he told a confidant he preferred to be traded before Thursday’s trade deadline, The Post has learned. New York Post

However, Tuesday night, a source said Anthony and D’Antoni spoke in an attempt to reconcile their differences and made headway. On Monday night, Anthony only wanted to remain a Knick if he had assurances D’Antoni wouldn’t be back next season. However, Anthony will not make a formal trade request. As The Post reported Tuesday, Anthony was told after the Knicks were swept out of the playoffs by the Celtics last April that D’Antoni would not return for this season. But now Anthony does not believe a decision on D’Antoni’s future is coming soon because D’Antoni and Grunwald, according to the source, are “like a couple.’’ New York Post

There is a feeling inside the organization that it makes business, and to a lesser degree basketball sense, to severe ties with Anthony, the perennial All Star who has struggled since returning from a groin injury. The Knicks are 2-8 with Anthony back in the lineup including a six game losing streak. The source would not reveal the name of the executive pushing to trade Anthony but the Daily News has learned that Anthony still has two formidable allies in his corner; Dolan, the Chairman of Madison Square Garden and MSG President Scott O'Neil, who both played significant roles in bringing Anthony to New York.

Bahaha what a snail of a man. Told you ****ing first what a black hole he is.

[Kyle_korver]

This gon be good

[nathanjizzle]

yes, our dreams are coming to fruition, when he is traded linsanity will be back.:bowdown:

[niko]

Is he so stupid he needs assurances? I can assure him MDA is gone. That's like assuring someone the sun is coming up tomorrow. Mike is not staying.

[novocaine]

just 4 fun:

Knicks out: Melo + Chandler + Douglas
Knicks in: Howard, Turkoglu

Magic out: Howard, Turkoglu
Magic in: Melo + Kaman

Hornets out: Kaman

and i can assure i will plant my seed in one of your relatives.

[Sarcastic]

:lol @ believing Marc Berman. Might as well believe Peter Vecsey too.

[Glide2keva]

So, they make this big trade for Melo. They have a losing record with him. Denver got immediately better and has a winning record. He gets hurt and sits, and Jeremy Lin comes in. They start winning. Melo comes back and they go back to losing.

I don't think it's the coach Melo.

[blablabla]

who does he think he is the gm
if mike gets fired he gets fired this is not melos decisiob
who says it'll b better with a new coach
what if he play within the new system and decides to do it his way again
if he doesnt want to play for this team if he doesnt give it all every night trade him

[LosBulls]

o shit..

[Xiao Yao You]

It is the coach because he should have benched Carmelo when he strayed away from the offense and he hasn't.

Carmelo is such a douche! Trade me to NY even if you have to give up everyone to do it!! Things aren't going my way. I want out!

[Rashard]

A blind man could see this coming. The Lakers absolutely should call the Knicks. Gasol for Melo. Make it happen Mitch.

Little bit of both (Melo / D'Antoni), but I mostly blame Anthony. The Knicks looked like f*cking heavy hitters while he was out. 9-1 when Melo was sitting out with injuries? Be honest, how is that a coincidence? :oldlol:

[bagelred]

Is he so stupid he needs assurances? I can assure him MDA is gone. That's like assuring someone the sun is coming up tomorrow. Mike is not staying.

As much as I agree with you, that all logic points to D'Antoni not being here in a few months.....NEVER underestimate Dolan's ability to be a contratrian, and go in the opposite direction of what Knicks fans/media/analysts want. He did that with Isiah Thomas for years........I think MDA's gone too, but there's a part of me that wouldn't be surprised if Dolan gives him a 2 year extension.

[LosBulls]

Do not want
So you prefer Boozer Deng and Noah over Dwight and Melo? Let me make it clearer:
Rose+Melo+Dwight > Wade+LeBron+Bosh
Bulls Bench>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Miami Bench

[Nash]

Bynum+Gasol+Barnes

for

Melo+Chandler+Douglas

[Glide2keva]

it's the coach. it's melo too but it's the coach.
Well we all know who MDA is as a coach. He was the problem the moment they hired him. NYK is known for tough defense and his defnesive strategy is to outscore the other team. That never works.

As far as Melo, he's just too selfish a player and doesn't seem to care about or have a real desire to win. It shows. I mean the coach wasn't a problem during the Linsanity period. The common factor is Melo.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Bynum+Gasol+Barnes

for

Melo+Chandler+Douglas

Silly trade, LA isn't moving Bynum unless its for an elite PG (or Howard).

Carmelo would make the Bulls worse, I can promise you that. With Deng, the Bulls' best defender, they would lose their chemistry. Carmelo has little clue about defense, while Deng has some of the best instincts you can find.

I think the other problem is that they have too many pieces and those pieces just don't fit.

[bagelred]

BREAKING NEWS: Steve Novak has demanded that Carmelo Anthony be traded by the deadline tomorrow.

A source close to Novak says that Novak might "forget" how to shoot the three ball if Melo isn't moved.

"Steve realizes he's the reason Knicks have been winning games and he's using that leverage to get rid of Melo." the source said.

Glen Grunwald is said to be working the phones.



This is getting ugly.

You do realize the Magic have WORSE defenders than Melo on their team and yet they are a top defensive team due to having just Dwight?

Dwight and Taj Gibson frontcourt would be a nightmare for teams. Then you have Thibs coaching us.

Our problem is offense and with Melo Hedo and Dwight, we got that taken care of.

um, ok...moving on...

Add J.R. Smith to that and Jeremy Lin, while good, not really being ready for the grind and the full challenge, and you have a team that is going nowhere fast.

Don't get your hopes up. They will fire Mike D'antoni before they let Melo leave. This is a serious situation but Melo isn't going anywhere.

Melo knows D'Antoni will be gone after the season.

This story is probably bullshit,especially because it was written by Marc Berman.

He'll get what he deserves eventually. When his contract is up he'll be headed to China like Marbury or Turkey or Puerto Rico like AI.

not really.

they "played" better because of the whole "Melo drama" thing. You didn't see the Nuggets in the WCFs last year didn't you?

[bmulls]

Melo isn't worth as much as some of you guys think. His stock is at an all time low.

The Nuggets got rid of him and instantly got better, the Knicks got him and got much worse. Everyone gave it some time for Melo and Amare to develop chemistry, but they sucked again this season. He gets hurt and the Knicks go 9-1 with an undrafted virtual rookie from Harvard, now he's back and they are 2-8 since.

Nobody wants this guy.

Frank Isola ‏ @FisolaNYDN
Carmelo Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, refutes reports that Melo wants out of NY. "Total nonsense," Rose tells Daily News. "It's laughable."

This is the truth. Only Melo fanboi kids think DA is the problem. The problem is Melo. Always will be.

Oh and before Karl was the problem...now it is supposedly DA. Always the coach never Melo. That is called a pattern.

They weren't competing for a title with Carmelo either. Him forcing his way to NY was the best thing that could have happened to them.

Melo will never win a title as the focus of the team. He doesnt have what it takes to win it all in the NBA and never will. Hes full of endless drama. Maybe when hes older and relegated to the "sparkplug off the bench role" which is the only suitable role in the NBA for him.

Denver got younger and more team focused while jettisoning all the Melodrama. They got the better end of that trade easily. Denver is still a midseed in the beast West while the Knicks are struggling to get the 8th seed in the Least.

yeah....excuses. The nuggets don't have a consistent go to threat, they couldn't keep it up regardless.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Ray + KG for Melo and Chandler.
Or, Pierce and Ray for Melo + Filler.

[ZenMaster]

Gallo always gets injured. That was part of the reason other people got on Knick fans, OH THAT GALLO PICKED SUCKED! YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN JENNINGS. HE'S ALWAYS HURT. I remember. Now that's he's a Nugget that fact has been pushed aside.

Yeah that wasn't me though, I love Gallo, also did when he was on the Knicks. He's so much better for team play than Melo because he makes quick decisions all the time. Gallo is a team player and always has been, it's very common with European players that they play within the team.

Meanwhile Melo can't play in a pickn'roll system but very specifically wants the ball from 15-18 feet. So much for offensive versatility.

If Melo can't play effectively from the 3pt line this team is screwed, no Knick fan can tell me how to play 3 guys within 18 feet of the basket and be succesful.

[Real Men Wear Green]

If this report is true Melo is being a baby. NY is what he wanted, and the Knicks gave up a ton of talent to get him. D'Antoni certainly isn't a good coach but regardless of how he feels about the coach he has a responsibility to give that team his best and yes, do what D'Antoni says so long as D'Antoni is the coach. They gave him a contract worth a hundred million dollars (or whatever), go play basketball.

[swi7ch]

if you're a knicks fan you WANT carmelo to be traded!

[Xiao Yao You]

yeah....excuses. The nuggets don't have a consistent go to threat, they couldn't keep it up regardless.

The west is wide open after Oklahoma. No reason they couldn't have. They have a couple potential young all-stars. They are in much better shape thanks to Carmelo ****ing up the Knicks.

[FireDavidKahn]

According to one New York newspaper, Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony no longer wants to play for Mike D'Antoni.

yeah....excuses. The nuggets don't have a consistent go to threat, they couldn't keep it up regardless.

On the nuggets everybody is a threat, that's the beauty of their team and how they play.

They've been winning good and moving up ever since Gallo and Nene came back.

Your post is just dumb speculation.

:oldlol: Melo is a baby

Again that has been quite apparent to me since he cried about not making the all-star team as a rookie and talking shit about a deserving AK in the process.

[SwooshReturns]

As a Bulls fan I do not want Melo. No thank you. I did before, but the past two seasons are too much. Wanted D12 ... but that kat is a certified LOSER.

[Bigsmoke]

If this report is true Melo is being a baby. NY is what he wanted, and the Knicks gave up a ton of talent to get him. D'Antoni certainly isn't a good coach but regardless of how he feels about the coach he has a responsibility to give that team his best and yes, do what D'Antoni says so long as D'Antoni is the coach. They gave him a contract worth a hundred million dollars (or whatever), go play basketball.

i still dont think the Knicks gave up THAT much for Melo.

they had 2 SFs in Gallo and Wilson which they traded for Melo

Felton pretty much was exchanged for Billups and then replaced by Tyson Chander. good move since Lin is pretty good :confusedshrug:

The Knicks were kind of going down hill before the Melo trade because of their roster being very unbalanced but effective at times.

The Knicks "right now" have a great team in set but need get stop being lazy.

[bmulls]

They have good pieces, but they are all from different puzzles

[Bigsmoke]

They have good pieces, but they are all from different puzzles

defensive center = check
great scoring PF = check
superstar= check
a solid SG= check
a good passing PG= check

and they got bench scorers

I still think the Bulls are more talented overall which includes defense, rebounding, teamwork ect.

but the knicks should be above the Hawks at least.

[iDunk]

I think this is the worst fake article I've read in my life. You really think Melo wants to leave NY, like really?

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Great, he's the one who wanted to be in NY in the first place.

I rather have Andre Iguodala in a heart beat over Melo.

They're on a 6-game losing streak. There's no "great" there right now.

They're both versatile and either one alone is too much for that sack of shit Carmelo.

Except for the fact Chandler is making superstar money in the process.

Who's the superstar? Lin?

As are Denver.

Even without Horford Atlanta has better players.

Marc Berman ‏ @NYPost_Berman
Melo said got supportive texts from teammates this morning telling him they don't want him to go.

[Xiao Yao You]

He could care less about his teammates. He's all about I.

[Real Men Wear Green]

I don't agree with the posts doubting Anthony's ability as an All-Star level talent but he really should not be anywhere near a trade demand. The Knicks made a major commitment to him sacrificing good players and of course paying huge money. He's got to show some loyalty through the tough times.

[Glide2keva]

As a Bulls fan I do not want Melo. No thank you. I did before, but the past two seasons are too much. Wanted D12 ... but that kat is a certified LOSER.
And I was constantly attacked for wanting no part of these guys, by Bulls fans who were starstruck and not looking at how these guys really are and how they would affect the team dynamic.

Feeling vindicated

The difference is, the Bulls' pieces fit together.

The Knicks' pieces don't

A blind man could see this coming. The Lakers absolutely should call the Knicks. Gasol for Melo. Make it happen Mitch.
Yeah, maybe adding Melo will finally put an end to Andrew Bynum's ball hogging. :roll:

They can have Marion, Haywood, and Kidd and the Mavs can defend their title in New York. :roll:

[GOBB]

I think I'll take back my trde of Iggy, Nocioni, Brackins, 2013 first rd pick for Melo. Keep him. Ok, maybe not.

[HEAT111]

He just confirmed that's just a rumor. He doesn't want to be traded.

[derb2k2]

He just confirmed that's just a rumor. He doesn't want to be traded.

yea but with the recent crash and burn of the Knicks, it seems the rumor to be true. He's just trying to save face now.

[Tenchi Ryu]

Exactly, makes perfect sense its "just a rumor" after its blown up, yet we ALL know he tries to run when the going gets tough...

But damn, at least more than 2 years before you start complaining.

[NuggetsFan]

Chandler is not comign, they don't want to pay him. The Nuggets are a playoff team right now and we are not, so yes, they are better. But that's not a core that will compete for a title. We get all these "everyone is sleeping on the nuggets" topics, no we're not. They are a solid 5 to 8 seed and have built a team that should be a solid 5 to 8 seed for like the next 5 years. OOH...scary...

I love how the Nuggets have hit their ceiling. Their a 5 to 8 seed for the next 5 years, when guy's like Ty\Gallo are still under 25 and in Ty's case just started running a team for the first time. I don't think they'll win a title, but neither will NY. Neither would Denver with Melo.

For the record they were the 2nd seed until Nene, Gallo, Ty all started having injury issues. Rudy, Mosgov, Koufus have all been banged up too. Not an excuse cause doubt they kept their pace up but really haven't seen what Denver is capable of for long stretches yet.

Doubt the article is true by the way. Hilarious how bad this situation has blown up for NY tho .. fans getting what they deserve in NY! :oldlol:

[Kujo]

What a mess in the NYC. :banghead:

D'Antoni sucks, but I've lost a lot of respect for Melo.

[04mzwach]

I was hoping Melo wanted to be traded. I don't like how NY is using him. Let him free! :banana:

[04mzwach]

He probably wants to go to LA or Orlando...

[I.R.Beast]

There's no "I" in TEAM, but there is in... wait for it.. FAIL
there also an L for LeBron

[Optimus Prime]

Lakers want nothing to do with him unless it is for like artest blake and walton. The Clips are free to trade Griffin for Melo tho.:lol

[Zackmorris]

Oh its Chris Berman.:sleeping :sleeping

I don't think he's lying about not wanting a trade. Why would he want to leave a place he campaigned to play for over half a season before being traded there?

The rumors of internal friction between the players and coach is mostly likely true. And most likely they just want the coach out.

[christian1923]

I cant wait to boo the shittt outta this guy at the garden tonight

[tomtucker]

gonna be great not seeing Carmelo on the knicks...then we all can go back tp hating them again

[Tmuston Beltics]

Dam, should have taken Portland @ 2,9 today vs Knicks.. Easy money..

[greymatter]

just 4 fun:

Knicks out: Melo + Chandler + Douglas
Knicks in: Howard, Turkoglu

Magic out: Howard, Turkoglu
Magic in: Melo + Kaman

Hornets out: Kaman
Hornets in: Chandler + Douglas


Knicks:

Lin
Fields
Hedo
Amare
Dwight


Magic:

Nelson
Reddick
Melo
Anderson
Kaman

Hornets:

Jack
Bellinelli
Ariza
Ayon
Chandler

Rather have nothing for D12 than Melo. Magic won't go anywhere with him and could only try to flip him for rebuilding pieces, but his trade value is at an all time low and could easily get lower. Based on how he's played so far, he's already a worse contract than Boozer. If he follows up with another bad season like this one's, he's officially into Rashard Lewis, Gilbert Arenas territory.

[LABean]

Congratulations, Carmelo. Didn't think it was possible for you to make me hate you even more. :applause: :applause:

[EveryManALion]

He wont be traded.... http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-wojnarowski_mike_dantoni_knicks_resigns_031412


yet.

[04mzwach]

According to one New York newspaper, Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony no longer wants to play for Mike D'Antoni.

New York Post beat writer Marc Berman writes that Anthony told a friend that he wants to be traded.

Writes Berman:

According to a person familiar with his thinking, Anthony's disillusionment stems most from a belief coach Mike D'Antoni and interim GM Glen Grunwald do not trust him. He is surprised that after all the Knicks gave up to trade for him, he has not been asked for more input on personnel decisions, as Deron Williams has with the Nets...

... On Monday night, Anthony only wanted to remain a Knick if he had assurances D'Antoni wouldn't be back next season....

Anthony is not close to owner James Dolan the way Amar'e Stoudemire is. The source said Anthony gets along best with assistant GM Allan Houston,who eventually could succeed Grunwald....

...Though Stoudemire lobbied for the Knicks to trade for Anthony, the pair's friendship has not flourished. "They're not as close as people think they are,'' the source said. "It's an awkward relationship.''

Expect a 40+ point night from the Mellow Man tonight against Portland.

[IamRAMBO24]

Who gives a sh*t what Melo wants? He has as much pull as Spike Lee. Nobody cares what he wants anymore until he can win some damn games.

Trade Melo. If the team does not turn around, get rid of D'antonio, and then can Amare too if he doesn't stop crying over his brother and focus on his game.

The Knicks have a bright future and some potent trade value to easily rebuild by next year.
