Breaking News: Carmelo wants to be traded before deadline
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.''

Re: Breaking News: Carmelo wants to be traded before deadline
Copied from other, more shittier forum, [QUOTE]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.

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

Re: Breaking News: Carmelo wants to be traded before deadline
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.

Re: Breaking News: Carmelo wants to be traded before deadline
who does he think he is the gm
if mike gets fired he gets fired this is not melos decisiob

Re: Breaking News: Carmelo wants to be traded before deadline
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!

Re: Breaking News: Carmelo wants to be traded before deadline
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:

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.

So you prefer Boozer Deng and Noah over Dwight and Melo? Let me make it clearer:

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.

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.

Re: Breaking News: Carmelo wants to be traded before deadline
[QUOTE]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. [/QUOTE]

Well Howard is the best player in that scenario but if you have to take Carmelo it's not such an easy choice even if Boozer is gone.

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.

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.
