Lol each season it was a different team...Packers, Jets, or Vikings,lol. And he would either play for them or he wouldn't lol. There was never three or more teams, trades, extensions, lol, all involved at once lol. Then he would play and everyone would forget about it from September til February lol.
7-8 months of Melo > 3 months of Tiger right?lol

I think the Carmelo story is huge and once he ends up in New York it completely changes the landscape of the NBA.

jordo212000;685684 wrote:The Brett Favre-like indecision. "I want to play in NY!" "Maybe I will re-sign with Denver!" "Does NY really want me that badly? It isn't a given I will sign there!" All the back and forth and mixed signals he is giving is driving me nuts

I just am getting tired of him and his handlers dropping scoops to ESPN that contradict a previous scoop that they had given.

I wouldn't say Melo is a Lebron-esque diva, but I would say that he is far more of a diva than Pujols.

You will be locked up in that crap hole for 5 years and you have no choice. Once that 5 years is up, I am going to go ahead and deliberate where you are free to work next. We can't have too many of our key workers working in nice, attractive markets. You will probably be relocated to Oklahoma City.

Sound fair? I really don't understand why people have an issue with guys working/playing in a city of their choice.

I dont think having 6-8 of the top 10 players in the league on 2 or 3 different teams is good for the league. The league is already water downed, this will just make it worse imo

SQ_Crazies;685893 wrote:Disagree. The league needs to be cut down to about 16 teams TOPS anyways. It may not be good for teams like the Cavs, or the Portland Trailblazers, etc. But the NBA will still make more money when there are super teams like this. You can count on that. WAYYYYY more people want to see CP3, Melo and Amare in NY rather than all three of them in separate cities with a bunch of middle of the road guys around them.

SQ_Crazies;685916 wrote:KR--exactly. YOU don't want to see that. Many people don't care. Many who are on the fence about the NBA are more likely to watch these mega teams. I promise you that if this happens you'll see the NBA make more money from it--and that may even happen at the same them that a few franchises are in the verge of folding.
