Thank you for Melo, Denver...

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

How does that trade look now? Felton back in NY so it was Melo for the inconsistent Gallinar, Wilson Chandler and Mozgov? LOL who would do that trade now? People were clowning us just last season for that and Wilson Chandler has been liability while Gallinari has been shooting just as good as landry fields. The Knicks robbed Denver and now it's starting to show.

@kurple why you mad homie? enjoy the medicore players and thanks again for Carmelo

[Fudge]

You're thanking them 2 seasons later? What happened the past 2 seasons with Melo?

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

and don't worry, I been thanking them since that trade happened...

Idk, that's irrelevant. Denver fans aren't the ones "thanking" you guys for the players they got.

[Go Getter]

The last two seasons have been up and down but he's had some incredible moments.


That shot he hit late over Deng had me:wtf: :eek: :(


People ragging on Anthony look kinda stupid now. Lol at him holding Lin back, being the reason they were losing, etc....dude is a beast.

[knickswin]

it sucks for carmelo because it's more the knicks' FO's fault than his but it's going to take A LOT for us to say the trade was worth it. ECF appearance at least.

[dilley]

what happened with the passed two seasons with denver?
They won 4 playoff games to the Knicks 1, aka neither team did shit.

Wow. Winning 4 regular seasons games is like, a really big deal to Knicks fans. This is like winning a championship by their standards. Knicks fans are celebrating like they just won the finals or something. Lol. How sad is that?

And for those saying the fans are hype.... You damn right I am we look like a contender and melo is looking like a MVP candidate I know denver is missing that

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

@kurple saying he doesn't know me.. 9k post but I was here when insidehoops opened homie check the date. I just know you because ur a denver homer who thinks its a even trade when in reality, we raped you.

No. Just no. And I shouldn't even have to explain why this is a ridiculous statement to make.


Knicks fans getting cocky after a few games smh.

[Legends66NBA7]

Anthony's been pretty good so far and I'll ignore a little inefficiency here and there... It hasn't harmed his impact in these few amounts of games that much. Still needs to tone it down his shots at times, he goes out of whack with shot selection.

This has been a pretty good group he's been around so far, but let's see him keep it together.

Although, what's with the thanks ? Both trades pretty much equaled off and it's been 2+ seasons since it happened.

[derb2k2]

sweart to god these Knicks fans are really overstepping the lines. :facepalm :facepalm

[Shepseskaf]

Am I the only one that thinks Denver is a better team than the Knicks right now even though they have a worse record?
You are the only one. Denver is not better than the Knicks.

As to the OP's point, I thought about the trade the other night when the Nugs were playing Houston and Gallinari allowed Lin, of all people, to lock him up at the top of the key during a critical possession in the 4th quarter. It was one of the dumbest plays I've seen so far this year.

So, yes, thanks Denver for sending one of the best scorers in league history to NY for some no-name, insignificant pieces. You do have a nice team this season, but no one close to being as good as Melo.

[RRR3]

JR Smith: 68.8% from three
Jason Kidd: 58.8/50.0/1.000 shooting
Ronnie Brewer: 53.8% from three


This will totally last :oldlol:

As long as Woodson is there, the defense isn't going anywhere -- so no need to worry.

[Mr Clutch Melo]

Both teams are going to go out in the second round anyway:confusedshrug:

[Y2Gezee]

Both teams are going to go out in the second round anyway:confusedshrug:

Maybe, but the Knicks are the only team with a real chance to go further. And while I wouldn't be surprised about the Nuggets getting to the second round I don't expect it. I do for the Knicks.

There's nothing to gauge. Unless Melo doesn't play for the Knicks, they win the trade. You never get equal value for a superstar player, and there's no denying that Melo is a franchise player.

Denver however, got as much as you possibly could ask for a superstar player though. They really received hella assets, even though I don't think they have a great team, I think they may have more tradeable assets than any team in the league. They need to use them to get a star, right now they have a bunch of 3rd and 4th options. And believe me, George Karl ain't good enough to turn a bunch of 3rd and 4th options into the 2004 Detroit Pistons.

But unless something unfortunate happens, the Knicks won the trade by default. After all that Melo-drama, fact is the Nuggets didn't want to trade Melo.

[Clutch]

Am I the only one that thinks Denver is a better team than the Knicks right now even though they have a worse record?
Probably. Knicks beat 4 playoff teams by 10 points or more.
Nuggets beat 0-6 Pistons,2-3 Rockets and a struggling on the road 2-4 Jazz team.

Knicks are a better defensive team and on offense they have a go to guy while the Nuggets don't.

Things might change but with how both teams have been playing the Knicks are a better team.

[NumberSix]

So, when is the parade scheduled? I mean, 4 regular season games IN A ROW!!!! That's gotta be some kind of record.

you have been a member on here since 06. i expect more from you.

Melo does this EVERY season. looks like an MVP the first 7-10 games

nuggets went no where with melo. knicks have gone no where with melo

nuggets have move playoff wins + a better record since the trade.

how can you act this cocky? because of 4 games? get real. Knicks struggle in the EAST

Nuggets were 15-2 against the east last season.

but this stalker of mine is annyoing and ****ing up my mood

Bynum?

Even without Bynum and Dirk teams the Knicks faced have a combined record of 12-1 against other teams in the league.

Nuggets beat the Rockets,Pistons and Jazz who have a combined record of 4-10

[kurple]

cool story. great sample size btw.

why does everything have to be Denver vs Knicks?

Denver fans dont give a shit about the knicks anymore, because we are better and more fun to watch now than ever before.

Why cant Knicks fans do the same? That's the only reason I might dislike the Knicks, because of it's fans. worst fans in the league (I do like Niko, and Bagelred.. funny dudes)

I don't have anything against Denver. I actually love to see them play,they are a very entertaining team to watch.

Small sample size or not,12-1 is much better than 4-10. Knicks right now are playing better than the Nuggets. Will they remain to play like that ? We can only wait and see.
Who will get further in the playoffs ? Also the only thing we can do is wait and see.

All the arguing which team is better makes no sense. Right now the Knicks look better. In a month the Nuggets might look better.
After all the playoffs are what matters and we're still months away from it. Let's judge the teams in April,May or June.

[pauk]

Hold those thankses until the playoffs.

[kNIOKAS]

So, when is the parade scheduled? I mean, 4 regular season games IN A ROW!!!! That's gotta be some kind of record.
You mean Knicks and Nuggets meet up 4 times in a row? Can't be. Although woud look like mini playoffs there

We where everywhere?? gtfo.. there are like 4 active nuggets posters (one is the most rational dude i have even seen) on this site and 15+ active knicks posters. All we heard for 1 year was "you're just mad/salty Melo left"

and maybe it's getting old because knicks fans have been shitty for a long time? it's obvious that shitty fans makes you dislike a franchise, should i not say my opinion because it's been said before?

you are proving my point. I'm trying to be an adult about this, but you're making it impossible. I'm not Jesus, I wont take the bullshit

[RRR3]

Kurple why isn't JaVale starting yet? Furthermore why is he playing so few minutes? His per 36 stats are excellent so far.

[kurple]

Kurple why isn't JaVale starting yet? Furthermore why is he playing so few minutes? His per 36 stats are excellent so far.
because he isnt ready yet. He still makes a lot of the same mistakes, and I think his conditioning isnt on par

and GK loves having a strong bench. Dre + McGee is nice together

[niko]

Denver got to replenish their talent and add cap space for a player that didn't want to be there. They didn't lose. Neither did we. Why that is hard for people to grasp is beyond me. Especially 2 years later when both teams have rebuilt and are good.

[Nash]

This team has like 5 REALLY OLD players and JR Smith off the bench. Excuse me if I don't believe in the hype or them being better than Denver.

Just wait and see. Melo has never shown anything close to being capable of leading a team to championship. Maybe he will, maybe not. Lets wait a few months before celebrating.

Yes you kept hearing "you're just mad\salty melo left" because like i said you guys where everywhere, in every knicks related thread even in Knicks gamethreads... :confusedshrug:
Thanks for proving what i said, not that it was needed anyway.

So Knicks fans are shitty because one of them did 1\10th of what the Nuggets fans did? :applause: Thanks for proving my point.

And again, i'm proving you're point? what? Now i'm shitty Knicks fan, because i spoke nothing but the truth... no my friend YOU are proving my point, and it's hilarious how you don't see it.


And just to be clear i don't agree at all with the OP, but you guys deserved some hazing.

[kurple]

wierd post. just finished rolling up, so maybe that makes me more peaceful.

but i dont know what to say. I'm not the guy that bookmarks shit to prove my point.

I know (so does many other) Knicks fans acted like babies the first year. Because they had SO HIGH expectations, and couldnt handle the dissapointment.

funny thing is that you cant handle winning either :lol

half of the arguing was about us trying to calm down your expectations, because we knew how Melo was and you flipping out calling us mad, and THAT made us mad.

the other half was you talking about how shitty we would become and us defending our team.

But anyways, Peace out! Meat is Murder!

ps.. looks like that proving my point comment hit a nerve. do you want me to apologize?

[El Kabong]

Wasn't most of the critisism against the Knicks not that they gave up too much for Melo, but that they could just have waited 6 months and picked him up as a FA?

[NA2126]

Wasn't most of the critisism against the Knicks not that they gave up too much for Melo, but that they could just have waited 6 months and picked him up as a FA?

How can you guarantee they'd have him as a free agent. There were a few teams trying to pull strings to get him. Maybe someone else would've made a more appealing offer and acquired him as an FA.

[Clutch]

The Knicks have 1 playoff win in a decade , and they have the never to talk shit to classy Denver fans :roll: :roll:.

Melo wanted to go to the Knicks. Knicks would have offered him the max, he would have gone.


I think if they waited Melo would be a Net right now.

No way to be sure but that's what I think.
He was going to be a FA regardless of if he was traded to the Nets. The reason they didn't pull the trigger was because Melo wouldn't sign an extension and they weren't giving up assets for a potential half season rental. Same thing that happened to them and other teams with Dwight Howard.

[SpecialQue]

Handle the C0ck with another quality post...

Yes, yes they are better than the Knicks. Don't let a slow start for Denver fool you. When Denver plays their basketball they're clearly a better team than the Knicks.

Denver will end up the 4th seed in the west, with not only a better record than the Knicks, but also a deeper playoff run.

[Clutch]

Melo wanted to go to the Knicks. Knicks would have offered him the max, he would have gone.


He was going to be a FA regardless of if he was traded to the Nets. The reason they didn't pull the trigger was because Melo wouldn't sign an extension and they weren't giving up assets for a potential half season rental. Same thing that happened to them and other teams with Dwight Howard.
But there was much talk about CBA and how the max contract would be reduced.
There were reports that he could sacrifice a lot of money if he chose to become a free agent and sign with the Knicks instead of re-signing with the Nuggets/Nets.

[SpecialQue]

Just a friendly reminder:

Post-trade, the Nuggets won four playoff games. The Knicks, one.
Regardless of what's happening now, most people expect the Nuggets to be a force in the west this season. They expect the Nuggets to be good and are surprised at how poorly they started the season. No one expected the Knicks to improve much, and everyone is surprised at how well they're playing.

They are both good teams. They both benefited from the trade. Some of you Knick fans are acting like a bunch of arrogant pricks over four wins at the beginning of the season. You're really going to be pounding your chests and talking shit to Nuggets fans over this?

[Whoah10115]

OP, shut the **** up.



Threads like this make us sound bad. Denver's been great since then. What are we acting stupid for?


Seriously, shut up.

[ConanRulesNBC]

Denver looks great and they have a young team that's going to be able to compete. I'd say they made off just as good as the Knicks.

I'm actually happy for the Knicks, they're fun to watch and the Heat need a new real challenge out of the East with the Bulls falling off.

I'm also looking forward to seeing how the whole Amare coming back thing effects them. If they start losing when he comes back, that just might qualify for some sort of television drama award.

I never ONCE said Boozer would DOMINATE in Chicago (that's not even rhetoric I would use). NEVER (I watched him just as much as you did while he was in Utah). I defend him because I've met the guy a couple of times (he seems like an okay person) and people get too aggressive in bashing him. He's very flawed, but brings a lot of skills to the table too.

Stop lying just because I rib you for being wrong about CJ. Just jokes man.:oldlol:

My favorite part about the trade is how Melo pretended he'd actually play for NJ so NY would give everything they had and he could get his extension. I trolled NY fans, well that Sarcastic f*cker but I said all along both teams got what they wanted. Melo wanted out, NY got their "superstar". He helped us get a bunch of pieces and post trade Denver hasn't skipped a beat. Even if we don't do anything? Were still the same team. 1st round exit.

It really is hilarious that a NY fan would be bitching about Denver fans. Pretty sure there's like 4 of us who are active.

At least they didn't have a parade before even playing a game:lol

[knickswin]

the knicks traded for carmelo because they thought he could bring serious playoff success. if they can get some ECF appearances or more out of him for the next 2-3 years, I think they will have more or less accomplished their goals with him. It doesn't really matter what's going on in Denver from their end.

That said, I think the Knicks would have had success earlier if they had held out on dealing one of gallinari, chandler, and felton (most likely, chandler). they also probably have not given the nuggets that pick swap.

6 games. You can not judge teams based on 6 games. Anyway you slice it, no matter how many times you run to ESPN you'll always have to look into things deeper. I used last year because well were in a thread talking about a trade that obviously spans more than the current season were in.

L.A Lakers getting that numbaaaaaaa oneee pick.

[NuggetsFan]

That said, I think the Knicks would have had success earlier if they had held out on dealing one of gallinari, chandler, and felton (most likely, chandler). they also probably have not given the nuggets that pick swap.

True. Melo wasn't having any of that tho. He was like Denver, you guy's are great so I'm going to go ahead and hold my future team up and force them to give you guy's everything :D

what happened with the passed two seasons with denver?

Better than what Knicks have done for sure...

[Laxlen]

They won 4 playoff games to the Knicks 1, aka neither team did shit.

conversation ends here

[StateOfMind12]

In about 2-3 months, you won't even be talkng anymore.

Melo always plays well in his first 5-10 games and then he starts to suck it up because he is too fat and not properly conditioned to handle a full season of superstar play.

He'll eventually get hit with injuries or go on an even bigger chuck mode, like last season.

[Whoah10115]

BTW, Felton was then traded to Portland for the rights to Kenneth Faried.

Felton was traded to Portland for Andre Miller and the rights to Jordan Hamilton, more accurately.

At least they didn't have a parade before even playing a game:lol
Sure they did. Remember LeBron's free agency? They had a parade for a player they didn't even sign yet. :roll:

[Blue&Orange]

half of the arguing was about us trying to calm down your expectations,
Such sweethearts

+ the Melo drama didnt help.

I remember Knicks fans saying "They can have Curry, Randolph and a pick. They have no leverage"
And i remember Nuggets fans saying "Knicks have nothing, all trash, i prefer Melo walking then trade him for Knicks trash"

Now you have one Knick fan finally agreeing with Nuggets fans, and you guys are still mad :lol

6 games. You can not judge teams based on 6 games.
Once again, reading comprehension is fundamental. Common sense is also fundamental.

To reiterate -- a claim was made that the Nuggets are currently (right now; in the present time) better than the Knicks. I said it wasn't so and produced some stats which supported my point of view.

The Nugs have played 6 games; the Knicks have played 4. That's the only relevant sample because we're talking about this season.

Comprende? I dumbed it down so you might understand.

[MeLO MvP 15]

it sucks for carmelo because it's more the knicks' FO's fault than his but it's going to take A LOT for us to say the trade was worth it. ECF appearance at least.
umm, that seems to imply that the Knicks with Gallo, Chandler, Mozgov and Felton would've done so.... which I don't think anyone could argue.

[NumberSix]

who's mad? feels like a dejavu

and yeah, I remember saying that.
Knicks are going full retard over winning 4 games. Do you see Heat and Spurs fans trolling the shit out of ISH saying "OMFG we won FIVE games"? Quite a few teams have won 4 games this season, but none of their fans even give a shit. Knicks fans are acting like they're in unprecedented territory though.

I don't even think the Falcons are going this crazy about an 8-0 start and that's only a 16 game season.

Knicks fans are going full drunken championship celebration mode 4.8% into the season and wonder why they're being mocked and laughed at?

[Ai2death]

Cause knicks are obviously going to beat the bull regular season record
:facepalm

[knickswin]

umm, that seems to imply that the Knicks with Gallo, Chandler, Mozgov and Felton would've done so.... which I don't think anyone could argue.

it's also comparing it to other possible moves they could have made, particularly that offseason when they would have had a lot of cap space

You can't seriously think that people always use THIS season to base how good teams are? L.A is literally like last place. I'll give ya a tip, won't stay like that. Milwaukee? They probably don't stay a top 4 seed. When somebody says the Denver Nuggets are the better team in present time chances are their basing it off alot more than 10 games between the two teams. Weather it be preseason, last year etc. more goes into it than well uhhhhh duhhh they average the 97 points in 6 games disss season :oldlol:

Comprehend that you f*cking c*nt.

[Whoah10115]

[ballup]

Felton had actual value aside from being trade fodder?

[MeLO MvP 15]

fair enough.

[Blingster]

I read as much as I can.. I will try to add my input ( not that it means anything)

Melo reminds me a lot of Bynum. When he wants to play, he can be one of the best in the league, as long as he isn't struggling. Melo will try to shoot him self out of a slump. I don't know how many times I watched him do this. I will say that when Melo is feeling his shot, and they are falling he is damn near unstoppable. But I can't forget those times that he just kept chucking shot after shot with not one going in. Like Kobe, Melo is a volume shooter.

As far as the Denver/ NY trade goes, I think it worked out pretty good for both teams. Today Melo wouldn't fit with the Nuggets play style. Denver likes to play a team game. They like to share the ball. If you look at their box scores, no single player has a huge gap in scoring from one player to the next. Denver got players that they feel they could develop or trade for other players that fit into their system. Gallo has been the centerpiece of this. I'm looking for him to step his game up or Denver will start shopping him.

New York and Melo both got what they wanted. Melo is back home, and the Knicks got their Marque star. I believe with this combination, Melo and the Knicks can bot flourish.

As far as who "won" the trade.. I think it's pretty equal.. Denver got a lot more than I ever thought they would for Melo. I figured he would just walk away as a free agent and we would get nothing.

At the end of the day though, The Knicks won't beat the Heat in the East (at least not in the foreseeable future). And if by some (very) small chance the Nuggets make it to a Miami/ Denver Finals there is no way they beat the Heat either.

[Sarcastic]

My favorite part about the trade is how Melo pretended he'd actually play for NJ so NY would give everything they had and he could get his extension. I trolled NY fans, well that Sarcastic f*cker but I said all along both teams got what they wanted. Melo wanted out, NY got their "superstar". He helped us get a bunch of pieces and post trade Denver hasn't skipped a beat. Even if we don't do anything? Were still the same team. 1st round exit.

It really is hilarious that a NY fan would be bitching about Denver fans. Pretty sure there's like 4 of us who are active. There's waaaaay more Knick fans and you guy's have been running you're mouth since you started clearing cap and LeBron was a potential FA. I suppose the small amount of Denver fans really did make an impact :confusedshrug:

I live in your mind, rent free.

[SevereUpInHere]

Haven't read the whole thread, but Melo is looking beastly so far this season, however Denver got a really good deal for him, as far as trades for elite players in the last few seasons Denver got a better deal than I can remember, look at the deal for Howard for example. I thought Moz would pan out better than he has, same with Gallo and Wilson, I thought we got burned initially with the trade, but in hindsight I'm really pleased with the deal. Nothing we gave away hurt us in the long run. Denver didn't do badly out of it, I think both sides would be happy overall, maybe Denver would be a bitt disspappointed with Gallo not making it to the next level so far.

[bagelred]

Gallo was unbelievably clutch last night for Denver.

[Clutch]

Gallo was unbelievably clutch last night for Denver.
I didn't see the game but I watched the highlights. He hit some big shots down the stretch.

[Blue&Orange]

Gallo still have confidence issues, he need to go alpha-male on the Nuggets, he has all the talent he needs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnvDMs3vz-M

Just ridiculous....


Melo can't do that :D

[Yung D-Will]

If Gallo gets back to playing at the level he played at last season, then Denver will be a top 4 seed in the west. Also they'll reach at least the second round.

[niko]

Gallo's problem is not his game, his problem is he is going to tweak his ankle in the next month and then miss 2 weeks and then the 2 weeks after play tentatively to not hurt it anymore. It's not confidence, it's not yet learning to play hurt.

[NuggetsFan]

Isn't that the truth. Already playing with an ankle problem and I guess that's the speculation of why his shots not falling and he's not taking it to the hoop, which he's far better at than shooting the ball.

Gallo's ridiculously talented and clutch but inconsistent and has major health problems. You already know he's going to miss 10+ games this year.

So after a four game winning streak this was posted:


How does that trade look now? Felton back in NY so it was Melo for the inconsistent Gallinar, Wilson Chandler and Mozgov? LOL who would do that trade now? People were clowning us just last season for that and Wilson Chandler has been liability while Gallinari has been shooting just as good as landry fields. The Knicks robbed Denver and now it's starting to show.

@kurple why you mad homie? enjoy the medicore players and thanks again for Carmelo

Here are some highlights from this thread:


you have been a member on here since 06. i expect more from you.

Melo does this EVERY season. looks like an MVP the first 7-10 games

nuggets went no where with melo. knicks have gone no where with melo

nuggets have move playoff wins + a better record since the trade.

how can you act this cocky? because of 4 games? get real. Knicks struggle in the EAST

Nuggets were 15-2 against the east last season.


You are the only one. Denver is not better than the Knicks.

As to the OP's point, I thought about the trade the other night when the Nugs were playing Houston and Gallinari allowed Lin, of all people, to lock him up at the top of the key during a critical possession in the 4th quarter. It was one of the dumbest plays I've seen so far this year.

So, yes, thanks Denver for sending one of the best scorers in league history to NY for some no-name, insignificant pieces. You do have a nice team this season, but no one close to being as good as Melo.


Yes, yes they are better than the Knicks. Don't let a slow start for Denver fool you. When Denver plays their basketball they're clearly a better team than the Knicks.

Denver will end up the 4th seed in the west, with not only a better record than the Knicks, but also a deeper playoff run.


In about 2-3 months, you won't even be talkng anymore.

Melo always plays well in his first 5-10 games and then he starts to suck it up because he is too fat and not properly conditioned to handle a full season of superstar play.

He'll eventually get hit with injuries or go on an even bigger chuck mode, like last season.


"Great argument structure?" :roll:

Alright, let's see some "arguments":

- The Knicks are scoring 104.5ppg; Denver, 97.7
- The Knicks are allowing 87.5ppg; Denver, 95.5
- Basketball-Reference.com's Simple Rating System (strength of schedule, avg. point differential, etc): Knicks, 26.42; Denver, 2.58

By any empirical measure you can think of, the indications are that the Knicks are playing better than the Nuggets.

Now, let's hear your "great argument structure". :oldlol:

The Nuggets are on a 9 game winning streak, won 43 games, and are .662.

The Knicks, while being #2 in the east, won 38 games and are .623. Their next game is against the Nuggets in Denver...how are the Nuggets when they play at home?

So while the Knicks were better than the Nuggets after a 4 game winning streak in November, right now, post All Star break, the Nuggets are better than the Knicks.

[Droid101]

Great bump.

Nuggets are simply better than the Knicks post trade. No arguing.

[coin24]

The nuggets have a crazy roster, so many weapons..
Interesting to see how they go in the playoffs..

[NuggetsFan]

Where you at now Shep, you dumb b*tch. Knicks could still very well end up with the better record or do more damage in the playoffs but as of right now, and when the thread was made Denver has been better. Thanks to Carmelo tho, so I guess we both got love there.

[SevereUpInHere]

Let's not act like anyone apart from Gallo is doing anything worthwhile on the Nugs out of the players Denver got in the trade.

Denver are just a deep team with multiple weapons. You guys are playing much stronger than us in the 2nd half of the season and we're starting to stink it up. What do you want us to say?

Wilson Chandler has been HUGE for Denver since he's been healthy. We got Andre Miller and a 1st round pick for Felton. Denver got Kosta in that deal who's been more than a solid starting center for us and allowed them to keep McGee on the bench. Corey Brewer went to NY, I think and they waived him? I can't remember but I know we somehow got him after the whole fiasco and he's been a big part of the bench. We still have a 2014 first round pick and the right to swap in 2016 as well I believe, which could end up being huge. Mozzy might fetch something or could end up being useful, I dunno. Got rid of Billups and allowed Lawson to start.

As for the bump I didn't do it so I don't know. If this thread proves anything tho it's that the second NY looks like they might be a better team, it's WHEWWW we won the trade even tho it was like 2 years ago. Once the Knicks come back to reality everybody's quiet again. I'm sure it'll happen again at some point too.

Just accept Denver has been the better basketball team post trade(which isn't saying all that much lol) and at this point it's probably too late to change that seeing as how long ago the trade happened :pimp:

[NuggetsFan]

let's not forget they were the better team pre-trade too.

Yeah but all we had to listen to was how Melo carried those teams and how post trade we'd be irrelevant and NY would be this title contender. It proved to be pretty incorrect quickly but every time it appeared that NY might break off from Denver, we had to hear about it.

Really tho this thread isn't that bad, just a few knuckleheads like Shep who wanted to use a 6 game sample size, so whatever. All tho I'm sure if the Knicks pass the 1st round and Denver doesn't we'll hear about it.

What is it with Knicks fans being cocky? Can you imagine if they had won more than one playoff game the last 10 years? Omg, this place would be rundown with Knicks threads.

Knicks were a borderline playoff team before the trade. What was the record? 29-26? They are the #2 seed today, and 15 games over .500.


Denver was a middle of the pack team in the Western Conference, with no real chance to win the division nor Conference. About the same as they are today.

It is ironic how the trade really didn't help either party. Melo is likely never going to win anything in New York and has to deal with Lebron and co. for the foreseeable future.......while Denver is a nice story, but they lack a true number one option that is needed in the playoffs.

denver got younger, better with a bunch of better attitudes and cheaper payroll - and a couple more picks coming from NY in the future.

how is that not helping? what more did we want from a trade?

Because, they aren't going anywhere.

Would you rather be Cleveland or Denver right now?

Personally I think it's a tough call. Cleveland has potential, but Denver is a lot of fun to watch. I guess Cleveland has the higher potential peak if Kyrie becomes a true superstar, but Denver will give you playoff games now, which provide owners with tons of revenue.

[Duderonomy]

As you know I'm not a Knicks fan in fact the only reason I'm red is because of them, but ever I would pay to see a Nuggets/Knicks finals. Meloball 2013

[NugzFan]

ah i see - so a) we should have not traded melo because we were going somewhere b) we should have dumped melo and tanked hard so thats going somewhere or c) your definition of going somewhere includes maybe 3 teams

nice. :oldlol:

[kurple]

Knicks got and need Melo. Built nicely around him. Nuggets turned assets into a team that was just as good. Anyone still arguing this is mentally deficient.
agreed man!

also really looking forward to the game tomorrow. shame melo's return came so late

and he better not ***** out. would not be surprised if he played yesterday, just to have an excuse to miss this game

[kurple]

Nuggets fans spent 1 year and half trolling Knicks fans, it was impossible to have a knicks related thread without nuggets fans crapping all over.

funny how any nuggets fan would say it was the other way around

not starting something. just sayin

[Michael_Wilbon]

A lot of the Knick trolls come out and appear to be retarded dickheads after Knick haters like SilkMcF@gg0t start anti-Knick threads. Not always, but most of the time. This thread was dumb in the first place though.

Maybe it's been my short tenure here, but I've yet to see a Nuggets fan really start shit.. ( along the lines of STS, and CF86 anyways).

I never really understood how small of a market team Denver is (as far as basketball goes, Football is a different story). I think there are like 5 people that are true Nuggets fans. I cannot believe that all that people outside of Colorado talk about is Melo, Kobe and LBJ. There are 400 or so other NBA players, hell there are 30 teams in the league.. Not that we hear about the other 25 teams (NYK, LA, LAC, MIA, CHI). It's really kinda sad that some of these teams and players don't get more publicity, granted, some do not deserve it (Charlotte). sorry, rant over.


Tomorrow is the day Nuggets fans get to vent their frustrations towards Melo. After tomorrow, this shit should really be over . NYK don't spend time thinking about what life was like with what they traded away, neither does Denver. Two years removed, both teams got what they wanted..end of story

The only reason that I say after tomorrow, this is the first time since Melo got traded that he has came back to play in Denver.

Can't wait to see the Nuggets Demolish the Knicks tomorrow. I'll be going to the game. I'm going to BOO the shit out of melo. Use to be my favorite NBA player when he was with the Nuggets, Now he can go F himself.

Can't wait to see the Nuggets blow out the Knicks and see Melo and JR doing this.

I love how all the Laker f@gboys who cry and complain to Jeff about bumping of the preseason Lakers championship and prediction threads are all jumping on this thread. It doesn't bother me, obviously some foolish things were said by other posters and its all in good fun, but LA fans have no right to bytch if they're gona do the same with other threads.

[asu77golf]

Carmelo Anthony will NEVER win NY a championship. What he will do is bring them many first and second round exits. Furthermore, NY is forever a ACL tear away from mediocrity while Melo holds their salary structure hostage.

Denver brought in a host of young, talented players. While they may not win a championship with this group, they have a lot of trade pieces to bring in a true all-star in the future.

I feel bad for all these delusional NY fans. You have no idea. Melo WILL disappoint you.

Exactly. How can knick fans forget how they acted for so long?

Now that I look back on this play more seriously, it was actually terrible how badly the NBA handled that situation.
It turned out to be nothing, but what if there was something seriously wrong with Melo? We've seen soccer players suffer heart attacks on field, and both teams immediately stop what they're doing and rush to the players aid. You never really know.

Because the NBA knows Melo is a dramatic bitch.

he went into a food coma

[B4llin]

Denver fans "Thanks for taking that fool Melo off us and paying him huge money for no reason"

Can't believe he was in MVP discussion, he came into the season CHUCKINg now he is loosing steam.

[Human Error]

I do not understand why the Knicks fans say Miami is their only concern when they have much more to worry about. The Pacers, the Celtics, the Bulls, the Hawks, the Nets, the Bucks etc.

[dunksby]

The title has proved to be such an ironic piece of literature :applause:

[SilkkTheShocker]

Great call, HaNdLe ThE C.oCk :applause:

[Human Error]

Knicks were a borderline playoff team before the trade. What was the record? 29-26? They are the #2 seed today, and 15 games over .500.


Denver was a middle of the pack team in the Western Conference, with no real chance to win the division nor Conference. About the same as they are today.
Saying the Knicks and the Nuggets are about the same because they will not win the championship is stupid, it is like saying Ewing is not better than Rik Smits because they both did not championship. The Nuggets actually at least have a shot to win the West while the Knicks have zero shot to represent the East in Finals. All the nonsense about a 43 percent shooting Carmelo Anthony being the best scorer and the most feared player in the clutch should just die.

[Blue&Orange]

Fact, Heat scored more 7 POINTS than the bulls in 5 games, and everyone talks about domination.

Fact, Knicks scored more 54 POINTS than the heat, before the got bored, in 2 and half games, everyone talks about Knicks having zero chance.

:lol


Another fact, Human Error is a dumb ph@gott.

HOw much years does Denver have to be better for them to have won the trade?

[willds09]

what year will tha nuggets make it past round 1 again, not this year for sure:lol

[coin24]

So far both havnt won shit.. Lets see what happens in the playoffs this time though:oldlol:

[el gringos]

Nugs started out better though. It's a really foolish thought to say Denver won the trade due to being a better team. Even to see it as gallinari and chandler are better than Carmelo. The Knicks would be a lottery team w gallinari and chandler in place of Carmelo.

who nuggets beating in tha playoffs??? Dats right nobody:lol

[niko]

Anyone who is still bumping this is gay.

[NuggetsFan]

I'm pretty much done with this but I can't seem to find what protections the picks have on them just curious if anybody knows. I know we got you're '14 first rounder but is it lottery protected, top 5 etc.? I also believe we have the right to swap in '16? but dunno if that's lottery protected as well.

Doubtful that '14 pick becomes anything but with the way the Knicks have struggled with injuries and there age who knows. The right to swap in '16 could end up being huge because they aren't a young team and won't have picks and cap wise they are pretty much spent.
