i remember teams doing stupid stuff (like that video) to try to get him to come
― Nhex, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 18:21 (ten years ago) link
yeah. i guess it looks like he met with lakers, mavs, rockets, golden state and the hawks. but i feel like it was a pretty expedient, private process.

Melo wants to be courted, coaxed, flattered, told he's extra special and adored, is all that means.
― Aimless, Tuesday, 22 April 2014 18:22 (ten years ago) link
and then take 23 mill per so he can handcuff a franchise for the next 4-5 years. dude is worth like 14 mill maybe
― IKEA metaballs (Spottie), Tuesday, 22 April 2014 18:26 (ten years ago) link
Sure he wants $23 million per, but he also wants interested teams to say it with flowers.

Mr Jackson, in return for the umpteen million dollars I am paying you, and despite any disclaimers I may have made to the contrary in the past, I retain the right to put your balls into this vise.

Of course, Dolan also lied about giving Donnie Walsh full autonomy when he hijacked the Carmelo Anthony trade negotiations from the long-time and respected basketball executive. Although Walsh wanted to acquire Anthony, his advice to Dolan was to wait until the trading deadline to strike a better deal with the Denver Nuggets. Dolan ignored Walsh and eventually gave the Nuggets a promising young center in Timofey Mozgov and the Knicks’ 2014 first-round pick, which is now a lottery pick.
This is kind of nitpicky, but while I agree with the general thrust of this point, Timofey Mozgov was really not the piece that people upset about that trade were focused on at the time.
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 21:19 (ten years ago) link
I guess, but Mozgov was the guy the Knicks had been refusing to trade until they relented.
The proposal, which was first reported by CBS Sports, will send Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler and the Knicks’ 2014 first-round pick to Denver. The Knicks would also trade Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry’s expiring contract to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who would send Corey Brewer to the Nuggets. The Knicks would receive Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams and Renaldo Balkman.The Knicks aren’t willing to include center Timofey Mozgov in the deal, the source said.

Centers are enough of a rarity and develop so much more slowly than guards and forwards that it makes sense to take time and know what you've got in a young center before using him as a throw-in on a trade.
― Aimless, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 22:26 (ten years ago) link
Dolan is so great, I bet Phil is the f out of there and back on his ranch by next all star break
The only part that makes me mad is that he's going to hire Kerr and leave him stranded with that mess instead of on tv where he belongs
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 23:33 (ten years ago) link
I wonder if Woodson ever gets hired again after what happened this year
Seems like with spoelstra's success and Hornacek this year teams are way more comfortable trying new younger guys (joerger too) instead of a retread
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 23:37 (ten years ago) link
Woodson and Mike Brown should chill together, maybe become cops or something

i had to google to check whether brown had been fired yet. i'll say this, he has a lot of really nice neckties.
― brimstead, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 23:53 (ten years ago) link
i think a good organization will still remember that Woodson had one really good season with the Knicks; don't see why he can't be an assistant coach again
― Nhex, Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:01 (ten years ago) link
he lucked into that season more than anything else
― k3vin k., Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:03 (ten years ago) link
it's still an accomplishment, post-Linsanity and what-not. he actually made JR Smith into a playable guard!
― Nhex, Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:07 (ten years ago) link
eh he was doing well with d'antoni idk, looking at his stats he's actually been pretty consistent over the years, even after taking on more minutes as a starter in nyc
― brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:12 (ten years ago) link
consistent's not what i meant, i mean i don't think the knicks org had any effect on jr whatsoever
― brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:13 (ten years ago) link
besides playing more minutes obviously, but he never started in denver anyway so there's nothing to compare it to really.
― brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah i mean woodson didn't turn smith into a good player and then into a bad player. he's been clueless with his lineups from the get-go. he was forced into a smallball scheme that worked but he was never really comfortable with
― k3vin k., Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:17 (ten years ago) link
my impression of JR Smith has always been that he's way-above-average talented and a complete uncoachable shithead.
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:27 (ten years ago) link
it's frustrating to see talented dudes like that just coast but can't blame him, worked out pretty well
― brimstead, Thursday, 24 April 2014 02:31 (ten years ago) link
money wise
it could've been the minutes, but i remember JR's shittiness on the knicks that season more than him doing good; the next season he was hitting game winners left and right
100% agreed that he's clearly both talented, and a shithead

“Magic Johnson is bigger than that. Mike D”Antoni is a good coach. They didn’t give him a lot to work with," Barkley said on TNT, via Mark Medina of the LA Daily News. “The Lakers weren’t to win with Phil Jackson either. They don’t have good players. We know Phil Jackson is arguably the greatest coach ever. The Lakers don’t have players. They’re not a good team. I don’t even know if Phil Jackson wanted that job. The Lakers stink and they’re going to stink."

listening to laker fans fantasy gm on the radio is a tedious exercise. they also pillory jim buss and compare him to his dad who they forget was working under an entirely different set of rules and they could just buy their way out of all their problems.
