Melo played great last night. I guess he is not distracted by the upcoming trade at all.

This trade would have made no sense for either team good thing it didnt fall through. Billups and Rip are getting up there in age and the Nets would have had a completely revamped roster that would have not improved by much to be honest. The Nets just wanted Anthony. Rip and Billups would only be going for two reasons: 1) The Money. Denver wants to get rid of some contracts as part of making the trade. 2) Anthony requires some talent around him wherever he goes. The Nets aren't very good, especially once they give up what they'd need to, to get Anthony. Yeah I understand, but the Pistons are not very good either. So its players on bad teams flip flopping. I feel this move would not make the Nets a playoff team because they would still be a weak team depth.

If the Lakers get him, Im gonna be very frustrated and I would probably not watch basketball besides the 76ers.
It ridiculous that the NBA has a "salary Cap" But yet, the Lakers I believe are over 30 million dollars (probably more) and can pay a luxury tax and its fine. Its ridiculous. Its not even like they are told to reduce this number.
They first basically get Gasol for free, and now they might steal away Melo. The NBA has a serious problem with depth of solid role players, and money distribution. They are projected over 300 million in looses this year due to bad revenue distributions and bad contracts.

I don't watch much basketball besides the occasional Knicks game.
As far as the salary cap, keep in mind that being over the cap prevents the Lakers from signing any significant free agents. I don't remember the exact terms of the NBA CBA, but it's something like if you're over the cap, you can only sign players to veteran minimum deals. But you can resign your guys for the league max (The Larry Bird Rule).
Yeah, the NBA does have a money distribution problem. Too many insignificant players make way too much money.

Too many insignificant teams are around. They need to contract and make it a competitive league.

well its over with Melo to the Knicks: www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/21/carmelo-anthony-traded-knicks_n_826322.html Thoughts anybody? Personally, I first felt the Knicks panicked big time and gave up way too much. But then i see they also get Corey Brewer back in return for 2 guys that never played. Good deal for the Knicks to pull, but can Billups run Dantonis offense? Im not sure My prediction is Dantoni gets fired after next year due to expectations and he isnt the right guy. Theywont win any titles or go far with him as coach. No defense and undersized will kill you in the playoffs

I kind of hate Carmelo. He's just so cocky.....
"I tip my hat to myself."
Dumbest quote of 2011 so far?
