Front office is right.   What could they possibly even offer us that would be enticing?

I think Melo started thinking about opting out and becoming a Laker after next season.

I think it proves that Carmelo sees Rondo as a good basketball player who could really help the Knicks out.

I also think that Rondo and 'Melo would play together pretty well, especially with him at PF. A Rondo/'Melo 1-4 pick and roll would be fun to watch.

New York doesn't have anything we want, though.

FWIW, I don't see Carmelo leaving NY.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

If Melo meets DA, everything is possible...Remember DA gifted PP and KG to Prokorov. DA is a nice manager, trying always to help "visitors'

I say melo would be Highly Embraced in Boston if he really wants to play with the Rondo :))))). Also this just goes to show any Rondo doubter out there, he is a great PG, stop trying to trade him. Players do want to play with him.

I  honestly thought this was about fab melo.

anyways, this is public respect from a superstar wanting to play with another superstar.



people say others dont want to play with rondo but it just not true.

Are you talking about this?

Anthony told friends after the Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trade to the Nets, he figured the Knicks would make a play for point guard for Rajon Rondo. Anthony believes Rondo would be the perfect piece and would be super motivated in New York to attempt to knock off Garnett and Pierce.

I've not seen anything anywhere that suggests that Melo went to the Knicks front office to "request" anything.

On sports tonight they said Melo went to the front office and the front office said they will be making other moves.

Just proves Rondo has a ton of value, of course players/teams want him. Knicks fans are fooling themselves if they think they have the pieces to get him, or if Ainge will just take their scraps for a top PG in the league in his prime because ping pong balls.

Well judging by the last thread on this topic, Felton/Shumpert for Rondo would be a very tempting offer to some...

  • We may as well put Tyrion in at center.
Fab Melo: Hey, Mr. Ainge!



Danny Ainge: Fab, come on in, young man. What brings you here today?



Fab Melo: I saw highlights of this guy on youtube, and I'd like to request a trade for him. He's guud!



Danny Ainge: Who is it?


Fab Melo: Rajon Rondo.


Danny Ainge:




I like Marcus Smart
