Poll: Carmelo Anthony will be playing for:

[BudweiserCeltic]

players recruiting when it leads to a teammate losing his job does kinda stink.

I wouldn't exactly call being traded "losing your job".  You're still getting paid, just means someone else is signing your checks.

Every NBA player knows they can be traded at any time.

Yeah, it's not traded... it's being cut or your unguaranteed contract not getting picked up, etc., etc. So no, it's not all filet mignon as simply being traded.

Well, don't sign a contract with such terms.  I mean, you're basically setting yourself up to get cut at some point when you sign a contract like that.  Usually because you're a fringe NBA talent.

Which misses the point entirely. The context is that ROSE might not want to be part of the process that causes a player to lose his job.

The rest is irrelevant.

In the last 2 month I have been reading where people think where Melo be playing at in 2014..I think he will pick the Lakers..like to see what the poll say

I picked the Lakers too! Not sure why. It's just Carmelo. It's LaLa Honey Nut. It's out of left field and glamour chucker city.

It stinks on the part of management to want players to build solidarity and camaraderie with teammates and then expect them to openly recruit their replacement, there is an inherent disconnect there. Management needs to do its job and let the players do theirs.

I have always said this idea of players colluding to take less money in order to play together violates the letter and the spirit of the salary cap. For the salary cap to have real bite the NBA must assign a cap number that is equal to the highest real offer a player gets whether or not he chooses to play elsewhere for less.

I voted for Nicks but I will not be surprised if these players all hook up to play for the Lakers.

[Beat LA]

I say other.  Carmelo Anthony will be playing for: himself, as he always has.  His numbers, his stats, etc, so I really don't think the location matters too much

[footey]

He's going back to NY unless his wife was promised a 5 picture deal by Warner Bros.
