The Great Carmelo Caper of 2011!

If Carmelo Anthony actually wanted to go to the New Jersey Nets, don't you think he would already be there? I sure do.  He has already come out and stated that he notices there are significantly less cheers during introductions at Home, and there are significantly more boo's.  The situation as a whole, has start to wear down not only everyone directly involved, but everyone who covers the NBA at all! The situation is not good for either side, or for the NBA for that matter.  We are continuously inundated with reports that he is going to New Jersey and yet, he still remains in Denver.  He was so quick to publicize that he wanted to be traded, but yet he refuses to publicly endorse being traded to the Nets. The man wants to be a Knick.  Bottom line.  You do not grow up in New York dreaming of one day playing for the New Jersey Nets.  You do not grow up in New York and dream of playing in Newark.  You do not grow up in New York and dream of playing in Brooklyn.  You grow up in New York, dreaming of one day dominating the biggest stage in pro basketball, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! You dream of walking the streets of New York and seeing billboards larger than life with your picture on it, hoisting a championship trophy.  Maybe the money will eventually sway Carmelo, but the possibility of playing in Brooklyn will not.  For now we will have to wait and see...
