Will the hornets and MJ pursue?

Figured it would be a joke thread though. Considering how Carmelo $hit on the nuggets and looks like he may do the same to the Knicks only worse.

Personally I wouldn't want him. Used to be my favorite player in the league years ago when he was in Denver. But how he acted and Denver hell to the no. Your thoughts?

Yeah why not. It would be the first top tier playmaker that the bobs ever had. Its not like we're close to being a contender or anything.

He would never though

If the plan works then we will be a contender in 2 years. If not then your right. But we Been building for atleast 2-3 years now. Add 2 years to that and that's 5 years. If u don't build a team that's able to contend by then you have failed at that particular development. And it's time to start over.

So yeah I feel we will be close next year and the following years. But I would still say no to melo.

Until we draft a great player, it doesnt matter how long we've been building. We need a westbrook/durant type player that can put up 30 pts

U need a good team first and foremost. Monta Ellis puts up 30 a night and he still bounces around the league.

I agree we need a scorer but we have plenty of draft picks available to make this team better and possibly land one. That's all I'm saying

I dont even think 2009 monta ellis averaged 30ppg. Im just saying we need an all-around top 10 player to get past the first round.

He wouldn't sign here, which would be fine with me - he's too much of a "me first" player anyway.

 

Yup - no way in hell he would come here. I'm not a Carmelo fan. He's a scorer, but he's also a ball stopper. Typical player who can go off for 40 points any given night and his team still leave with a loss.

I cant see the possibility of Melo landing here, but he sure as hell would be an 'upgrade' over MKG.

 

I get that MKG is still young and all, but he should be lighting it up in both the summer league and preseason which he isnt. I dont care if MKG cant shoot the ball at this time of his young career, but he should be making a damn living of going to the basket which was why we took him no2 overall. He made a living doing that at UK and he's struggling to do so right now.

 

If MKG doesn't improve soon, I wouldnt mind a trade sending MKG to Chicago for a sign and trade of Loul Deng.

We need efficient 30 point scorers not Steve Francis type 30 point games...shoot 35 times, 1assist and 7 turnovers. Sorta the Monta Ellis gmae in a nutshell.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
