I’m glad that that “VC” stays out of Charlotte. I’ll take our all around sounder player with a positive image.

Wallace for ‘Melo sucks for us IMO. Crash is the heart of the team and they want to trade him for a guy that’s heart is into playing with his buds in a big city? Would be a big mistake, that I’m scared the FO would go for. Glad he doesn’t want to come here. Thx ’Melo.

We don’t want your sorry ass anyway Melo. Well, maybe a little. BUT NOT FOR GERALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He stays.

K, thanks.

I once thought a straight up Wallace-for-Anthony trade would be OK, but I hold Wallace in a much higher regard lately. I think Melo’s a little to caught up in this “Superteam assembly” to be considered a quality asset that will actually make the overall team better.

He have gave him dap, and Chris said, “HEY-OOO!”

My friend yelled back,“Come play for the Bobcats!”

I hope it worked….

He thought I was crazy. For those who think I’m crazy, let’s take a look at a couple advanced stats

Offensive rating (ORtg) is how many points a player scores per 100 possessions. Similarly, defensive rating (DRtg) is how many points allowed by a player per 100 possessions. So you want ORtg to be high, DRtg to be low, got it?

Carmelo’s average ORtg for his career is 107, with an average DRtg of 107. In 2010, his ORtg was 110 and his DRtg was 109.

Gerald’s career avg ORtg is 108 and DRtg of 103. In 2010, Gerald’s ORtg was 113 and he had a DRtg of 100.

Obviously this isn’t a perfect statistic as none are, but I believe I’ve made my point. There are other stats out there that show similar things for the same effect but unless yall want em, I’ll refrain.

Since that aspect of things is past, I can talk a bit. Do you recall last week when I referred to Crash as “untouchable?”
It was at that time that Denver was fishing for Wallace and it’s what got us involved in this 4-team thing in the first place. Diaw became our counter-offer. The info I received was that Denver received the standard “Gerald Wallace is off the table unless it’s for something very special” response. According to the people I know, Melo’s agent was contacted by the Nuggs GM. Melo’s actual response was that he wouldn’t come to Charlotte unless both Jackson and Wallace were present because otherwise the team couldn’t be a winner. From what I was told, Anthony didn’t so much dump on the city or the team. He wants to be on a team that meets certain specifications, not the least of which is the ability to make a run for a ring along with the budget capacity to bring Chris Paul on board in a couple of years. (that’s my opinion based on what I was told, not a quote from Melo btw)

Anthony knows better than to openly diss Jordan or his team. That can get very expensive. I’m sure that by now I’m not revealing anything most of you hadn’t already figured out, but I wanted to give things a bit of a timeline perspective.
This deal is no more alive or dead than it was early this morning. The media is now reduced to commenting that Melo showed up on media day in his Nuggets uni. What the hell else was he going to wear, a Colorado Rockies uniform?
