Got it, that makes a lot of sense.

And yeah, Vesey is the worst lol.

Dudes just another negative nancey, which Carton and Boom basically pointed out after he hung up with them. Lol.

I'm excited

In D'Antoni "sprint to the basket, forget about D" system, Melo could actually avg 30+ppg and still be -10 every night.

P.S Vescey is still a ******.

anybody itt have season tickets and planning to get playoff tickets?

My favorite Vescey moment actually has nothing to do with him being full ******. Going back maybe 10 years or so, at the NBA Draft Vescey announced on TNT that Knicks were not going to be making a trade for Chris Webber (which was the big rumor going into the draft). The crown INSTANTY boos and goes full on into a "Vecesy Sucks" chant.

Good times.

I have actually heard other people say that the Knicks will be under .500 the rest of this year as well, stating that they make up for some of the scoring lost from chandler and gallo by getting melo, but with gallo gone they dont have a pure shooter to stretch the defense. I dont really understand that, Williams coming off the bench has already proven he can be that guy, and if Roger Mason gets a chance to get in the rotation he has proven he can be that guy in the past too. Not to mention Azubuike who has shot well, and even Andy Rautins has the potential to be a good spot up shooter. Obviously the long term effects can be debated, and they didnt do themselves any favors defensively, but how can anyone think they will be worse off short term with this move?

Change thread title to "New York Knicks: Harshing Your Melo"
Houston has the right to swap picks with up this year (2011).

new title could be "in that carmelo f'in with la la" imo

or "the melodrama(re) is over; bring on the Chris"

Are we percolating for real yet?

According to Sports Center, Carmelo called Amare at 1:30 in the morning to ask about everything from where to live to how to win games.

Stat and Melo, Stat and Melo, Stat and Melo

yah srsly change the thread title

How about:

New York Knicks: Fields of Stat and Melo

Nets trade for Deron Williams. Wow.

Don't matter, they still won't sign him.

What are the chances the new guys suit up tonight? Regardless of good deal/bad deal, I am excited to see Melo Blue and Orange.

Knicks PC introducing Melo + others? at around 5PM EST. Technically still waiting on physicals to know for sure if they can play tonight. In a trade all players must have taken their physicals before any in the deal can play, latest report is that all new Knicks have taken theirs but not everyone for the other teams have. Should have the final report by around the time the PC starts in less than an hour.

Tickets have skyrocketed since the trade. Cheapest tickets for tonight on stubhub are $160 for the 400s. The cheapest tickets left this season are $65 to see the Cavs or the Raptors lol.

PC on WFAN if some of you are like me without access to a TV until 6pm

my tickets like 5xed their value on stubhub...was pretty crazy...couldnt stop me from going though. was going even before melo since its legends night so should be a really fun night at msg.

omg dolan stfu

I love Verizon FiOS. I really do.

But I hate the lack of MSG HD on FiOS.

Frigging Cablevision refuses to give FiOS access to MSG HD. They actually didn't even give access to MSG in standard def until the FCC ruled they much provide access to MSG.

Getting Directv was the greatest thing ever, just got it at my new place a month ago. So much HD, especially huge as a soccer fan.

Fios is sick too but they don't have it in my area (but do about 10 mins north).

Yeah, I don't care for the FiOS cable much (it's definitely better, but not so much I'd have a strong preference for it).

But FiOS internet is way ahead of anything else out there.
