Becoming Melo-dramatic

 

For most of this week, the sports media marketplace has been saturated with rumors of Carmelo Anthony trying to force his way out of Denver. What is Mr. Subpoenas' stance on all of this?

Oh, hell yeah!

Despite signing Amar'e Stoudemire as our prized free agent and making other prominent moves over the offseason, the Knicks haven't exactly locked up a playoff spot. You'd have to think that Miami, Orlando, Boston, Atlanta, and Chicago are locks. Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Charlotte, New Jersey, and New York are vying for the last three spots in my opinion. Also, now that Indiana's management has decided they'll stop drafting, signing, and trading for nonathletic white players, they look like they can surprise a few teams next season.  

Carmelo can change all of that. In his rookie year, he took a Denver team that won 17 games during the 2003 season and provided a +26 game differential to their record. Yes, I know they also got around 40 more games out of Marcus Camby than they had the previous season. Yes, I also realize that Andre Miller also decided to sign with them that off-season. And yes, I know that's one too many realizations, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Carmelo has been a winner at every level of his basketball career.  He won in high school.  He won in college while at Syracuse. He has also made the playoffs in every season of his NBA career. If Carmelo comes to New York, he brings a winning pedigree that no player on Knicks' roster currently has. He brings hope. Some of us Knick fans don't have the patience to wait anymore for Hope to come through free agency in 2011. Basketball rewards those who take the initiative.

It's up to Donnie Walsh to take it.

It ain't even October 31 and we're already talking about Free Agent 2011 Sweepstakes. Sheesh.

I never thought the Knicks had a chance to get LeBron because I thought Carmelo was the more "realistic" get. If the Knicks have a smart gland in their brain, Melo will be in that god-awful orange and blue.

That being said, I would tell Knicks fans to not bust a nut just yet. Y'all blew mad babies for Bron and look what happened: You were left with a sore member and a missing wallet.

ci,

i think the melo discussion on the table is more about the swirling trade possibilities. hence "it's up to donnie walsh to take it." i think gil is endorsing aggressive pursuit via trade.

and from the outside looking in one might have thought the knicks did everything for lebron, but that's what happens when we watch too much ESPN. prince james aside, the knicks did exactly what they needed to do for their freedom. was lebron the top prize in 2010? sure. but several teams were going for him. the important thing is that knicks now control their own destiny, something that hasn't been the case since the patrick ewing trade. this is what donnie walsh preached the entire time, despite the lebron/NY media circus that surrounded him. in the face of such fuckery, walsh accomplished his primary goal and the team is rebuilding effectively. lebron didn't come. his signing with the knicks (or any other team for that matter) was far from a given. that's a non-issue.

it's kind of like losing a ton of weight. some might look at the person's weight loss like, look at that. (s)he lost 50 pounds and still ain't find no boyfriend/girlfriend... when the person who lost the weight is like, "i needed to get healthier."

Cafe Carlu is a clean, modern cafe in the Cité de Architecture on the the Trocadero with a small menu of simple,well prepared sandwiches, salads,quiches and plats. So what's the big deal?

So all the planets from Mercury out to Pluto go retrograde at regular intervals. Mercury is retrograde 3 or 4 times a year, Venus every 18 months, and Mars every 26 months, mas o menos. The outers all go retrograde once a year for several months.

A retrograde re-traces ground we've already covered once. We cross a sector of the zodiac once. Then if a planet retrogrades, we move back across that span again, retracing those degree points. Then when a retrograde is done and the planet goes direct in motion we'll again move across that span of degrees. That span becomes an area of importance in our lives, since we get 3 experiences of that part of the zodiacal reality.

All retrogrades help us integrate what we learn as we move forward in our lives and affairs. Some parts of our evolution move forward quickly as the planets move forward in motion through the signs. But then at some point, they slow down and get a new look at ground asdfalready covered. Then when they resume forward motion, it symbolizes a time when we can take what we learned, then re-learned, and apply those lessons in new ways.

At my suggestion Perry and I fashioned some swords of scraps of iron which we discovered among some rubbish in the cells where we slept, for we were permitted almost unrestrained freedom of action within the limits of the building to which we had been assigned. So great were the number of slaves who waited upon the inhabitants of Phutra that none of us was apt to be overburdened with work, nor were our masters unkind to us.

Yes,I am happy to have found this blog, and more happy to have long tail explained so well.

No, problem. Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I was wondering what your views were, because I don't know anyone who practices this model or has any interest/knowledge in it, so I can't really ask what they think; and I appreciate you answering my questions. Like you said it would benefit me to have my own projector but it would be very costly and a hassle.
