Carmelo Anthony says he 'will always be tied to New York'

Ok looks like those words really a good basis that we can't see Carmelo Anthony on New York jersey this upcoming season. Still there is no clear path whether on what team this guy will transfer. Current rumors revolving around the Melo trade still not even close to reality. Looks like we are waiting again for another drama.

I agreed. If you read between the lines, it looks like he is ready to go. Question is where? Its just a few weeks before this season and its no clear what's New York Knicks plan for him. Maybe Anthony can opt for a buy-out?

For me, he still has a lot of potential and can contribute to the team he chooses to. He is still chasing for that elusive ring though. I just hope he can find a home already because as I have said, just a few weeks to adjust to a new team if ever New York will release him.

Yes the drama still on process and there's no team yet who are in the table for who will get Anthony.

Even by looking at rumors, we can't say which team are being closed to the deal. But I know there is happening already but didn't just exposing it to the public.

It might seem that the Houston Rockets is where Melo wants to play but there are still some other teams that are interested in acquiring him. Kyrie Irving said before that his preferences are New York or San Antonio but very few saw him being traded to their rivals, the Celtics. So we might see some twists and turns in this Melodrama version 2.

Melo is a friend and batchmate of LBJ, Maybe we will see him playing in Cavs with LBJ later. He is a valuable player that still don't have a championship ring. He must join the team that has a potential to get it just like what Durant did. Westbrook and Harden will never get the championship ring if they continue to stick to their team. There are many new good players every year.

James and Melo tandem is possible if:

-Lebron will continue to play on the Cavaliers as next year 2018, he will become a restricted free agent and there are rumors already about some team that will try to acquired him

-Carmelo Anthony will not make a drama anymore and will play for Cavaliers this upcoming season while James still on Cavaliers BUT in exchange of lower salary as salary cap is a concern here. Cavaliers is trying to get other players now and if supposedly Melo trade will not happen, there will be no room for Melo while season is coming unless Cavaliers will make a push.

If Melo and Lbj would have a chance to play for the cavs. Then for sure Melo's playing would be much less than the usual. Also, Cavs are already loaded with SF though Melo can Play as SG but the chemistry is quite blurred as of the moment. In addition it would cost Cavs a lot money to acquire both players. Unless Melo decide to accept a much lower salary in exchange of having a chance to win a championship. But if ever that Melo landed a spot with the cavs and playing together with LBJ, Then he should change his attitude. So that he could still be a great contributor whenever LBJ is on the bench.

What an interesting catch if melo will play along side with lebron as we knew their rivalry from the rookie years maybe if they got a chance to play together it will be a good 1-2 punch game just hoping that it will not be like drexler and Barkley back from the rockets..

Barkley and Drexler played different positions when they play together in Houston. So it doesn't make sense to compare them with Lebron-Melo if ever. But I have to agree that if they play together Cavaliers can match up with Golden State then. It will be awesome to see those greats making good passes like in an All-Star game. But we all have to have, the Melo drama is not yet done, and its barely weeks before the opening of this season.

We'll basing from Melo's performance in the recent seasons even if he joins LBJ they won't be as good. Melo can't even get to the highlights anymore these days.

Yeah, maybe when it comes to superstar status, he is way ahead of Irving but if you compared the play now, the chemistry on James, for me Irving is better. As you can see, he has been outshined by other younger superstar.

In my own impression about Irving here I can say all of his playing strategies outraged even though those young player were doing great but the legacy has been a good path as the dedication did the best part of his entire career. That's now a certified superstar and with the next nba season more plays and good assist will be shown and let the court decide the reality comes, so keep your eyes on it and watch out for Irving's show on the game soon.

[ItBeginInAfrica]

I'm in with Goldenstate they show everytime why they are the champs

Or maybe Melo just need to in a good team that he is not the superstar before he can performed well? I think this career is in the downward right now. So it he really wants to earn a ring before going out, he should go to Cavaliers and team up with Lebron and make a last run on it. He will be a good addition to the team and could challenge Golden State again on the next NBA championship. But he needs to cut his pay if he is really interested to join the Cavs.

It's not about having highlights with his plays but Carmelo Anthony won't be too good of a fit on the team. What I am talking about is Anthony and Lebron has the same position which is small forward and I don't think that it will be a good idea for one of them to move up in a position which they are not comfortable with. Another thing to point out is Cavaliers already made a trade to ship out Kyrie Irving for Thomas, I don't think they have a trade asset to get Anthony to the Cavs.

The major problem with Melo in Cavs would be the position. LeBron and Melo are both small forward players and it would be really awkward for either to swap out positions. With Kyrie, Cavs had a top notch point guard who could make plays with LeBron and rest of the team but with Melo's addition it would be harder and more pressure will be on both of them to deliver every game.

[JesVarez]

I really like the Thunder giving a surprise in the Western Conference, PG13 and the MVP together are going to be a problem. Just like the Rockets, The beard + CP3 together is a letal combination.
And in the eastern conference the Celtics will fall in the finals againts Lebron, Kyrie will regret leaving them, and if the cavs manage to get Cousins like the rumors say then they are going to a huge issue for Golden State.

With Cousin's attitude? That's going to be a problem.

And no, Kyrie won't regret leaving them because he's a franchise player now.

[Eric Cartman]

Again GSW will be favorite, so I hope they lose just like 2016

for sure it will be a new home for kyrie and even things will be so hard for him to taste again the ring he will definitely choose that, because he wanted to be
the main man of his team, and for sure Celtics will give him some good commanding role. let see how kyrie will bring this semi finalist team to its new level.

Since Irving is very hot topic in this thread, I suggest to create a poll just to let us know if what team has really benefit the trade.
Would it be the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Boston Celtics? Personally I don't hate Kyrie Irving but I would cast my vote for the cavaliers since they have 3 good players in exchange of Irving.

I agree. And i think more will agree that boston sacrificed perhaps more than what's necessart just to acquire kyrie. Isaiah's gonna get better and the team along with him and we've all seen it last season. I don't think kyrie can take them to a better finish next season

[Braveshd]

Teams i'm most excited to watch this upcoming season.
Thunder: PG3 and the MVP will be a nasty duo.
Rockets: Harden and CP3 dishing out assists count me in.
Celtics: This team is gonna be scary on offense with Kyrie/Hayward/Morris/Horford just wondering how well their defense will be.
Timberwolves: Young and promising bunch of talent. Look for them to cause havoc in the west. Complete steal getting Jimmy Buckets
Nuggets: Jokic and Paul Millsap down low will be fun to watch. Jokic is more of a facilitator and Millsap is more of a scrapper so I think they will fit well. Surround them with shooters like Gary Harris and Jamal Murray and you got a scary team.

This is gonna be a fun season to watch.
Prediction to win: Golden State 

[harizen]

Again GSW will be favorite, so I hope they lose just like 2016

At first read I though "Again GSW will by me favorite" that's why Im confused with the comment. lol.

Since Irving is very hot topic in this thread, I suggest to create a poll just to let us know if what team has really benefit the trade.
Would it be the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Boston Celtics? Personally I don't hate Kyrie Irving but I would cast my vote for the cavaliers since they have 3 good players in exchange of Irving.

Not necessary. Since Kyrie Irving trade have reached the conclusion now, eventually the trend will not that active anymore and soon the discussion now will be, if Celtics will dominate once again the East.


Rumors: Lebron James To Spurs

Nothing wrong here and Spurs can matched the deadly Golden State Warriors. But since they are both in West, they will not be able to faced on NBA finals which is more intense than Western Conference Finals. Im disagree to those sayings that Lebron will have an easy way to the East. It's not Lebron's fault that he is strong. Teams on the East must advanced and don't just hide to that reasons.

[JesVarez]

Pretty interesting odds to win the NBA championship.
Warriors 1.58
Cavs      6.25
Celtics    8.5
Rockets  9.5
Spurs     13
Thunder  31

Still thinking that the Thunder are going to be underrated, they are going to be a surprise in the Western Conference.
