Kurt, I thought you made a great point about the extent to which his agent could be driving the deal. I think, though, that Carmelo really wants to be in NYC, and he’s experienced and savvy enough that if the people he’s talking to — A’mare and who knows who else within the organization — are telling him the Knicks want him, he’ll make it happen.

Carmello and the Nuggets are paying high stakes poker. A lock out and a new CBA may mean Anthony gives up millions if he waits. The Nuggets may end up with nothing, or make a pressured deal at the deadline, if they wait and hold out. Knicks are being intelligent in standing at and waiting.

Nuggets are probably going to wait until right before the trade deadline to make a deal. This way they can use him for as long as possible and still get what they want in a trade.

I remember watching this guy when he was a freshman @ Syracuse and they won the NCAA tournament – he was amazingly poised for a freshman, and I thought he would be a great pro.

Of course we can always thank the media for taking every little thread of info, gossip, or what-have-you and making it into a story that may or may not be true. That, after all, is what they do.

This guy has terrific talent but he does NOT strike me as the kind of guy you want to make the TEAM better. These rumors have been going on for many months and it getting really tiresome.
