If one of the stud guards go to NY in 2012 and Howard goes to LA as rumored, then your power teams will be Miami, LA and NY. 3 stud teams and the...
The goal was to up the ante on a top 10 player supposedly determined to go to only 1 team. They had a great trade in place with NJ and the package...
It clarifies it. I just don't think it makes much sense. I'm not trying to insult you or anyone else. I just think some of you have a problem with...
^^^^^ Please explain what you mean when you say you have grown tired of the super team fiasco, since we have had super teams since the 80s....
My thoughts are it doesn't matter how a team was created, at the end of the day the results are still the same...a few stacked teams. I like how...
I would agree if they were actually getting something good in return. Supposedely LA said no and Melo said no to NJ. They aren't stopping the NJ...
I agree with that statement. But in the context of this convo, it makes no sense to me that customers would be pissed now when the end result is...

Who isn't honoring their contract? The super friends left as free agents. Melo is not forcing a trade, but he is being upfront that he will only...
Yeah, but not cuz it was gonna be "his" team. NY was the only team to fully guarantee his contract.
^^^^^^^^^^ I have seen the Knicks play, and all of the players in the deal from NY are average players. The draft pick via Randolph won't be a...
It's really not a good deal. In a normal world you can't trade that package for a top 10 player. No young stud. No great draft pick. Still a steal...
He isn't asking for too much. He is just asking for the true value of a top 10 player, assuming he had leverage.
In all honesty, I don't really think it's that much because all of those guys are average guys. It's basically a bunch of average players and a...
Thoughts? Also, are we supposed to link the whole article here or just a snippet so the real article gets the traffic?...
So they kill mom and pops and technology kills them?
