btw, racking up assist totals is a terrible way to judge someone's passing.

Not using assists solely to gauge his passing ability...it supports it though. I mean, the guy put a 13 assist game last season plus a bevy of 5, 6, 7 assist games...he must be doing something right. It means a) he's looking to pass, b) giving the ball up to guys in scoring opportunities/position, c) unselfish.

Andray's passing is his best attribute, he's really good at it. If he improves as much this year as last year then its a steal, if not... well..

More than anything he needs to work hard in the gym, and if he has been doing that then everything should be good. Though he's hurt right now I think with a broken foot bone. Javale may never be anything but a taller Tyson Chandler, but thats not so bad. Javale needs to eat cheesesteaks and butter 5 meals a day that kid can't gain weight at all.

Javale's skinniness reminds me of the when Michael Jordan offered Rip Hamilton $100,000 if he could gain 10 pounds over the summer, fat or muscle - just weight period. Rip lost.

Rip must have countered with a bet that Jordan couldn't make Kwame into a basketball player. Got to be the only reason he signed him to the Bobcats.

Nets' proposed Carmelo deal 'dead'

By Chris Mannix, SI.com

A complicated, four-team trade that would have sent Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey is now "dead."

The proposed deal that would have brought Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey is "dead," a league source told SI.com.

Last Friday, the Nets were "deeply into" trade discussions with Denver, Utah and Charlotte for a deal that would bring Anthony to New Jersey and send No. 3 pick Derrick Favors as well as multiple future draft picks to Denver. The Nuggets would have also received forward Andrei Kirilenko from Utah, while the Bobcats would have gotten point guard Devin Harris from New Jersey and the Jazz would've received forward Boris Diaw from Charlotte.

It was reported later that evening that Anthony approved of the proposed deal, but as the weekend progressed, Denver dragged its heels by gauging other teams' interest.

Anthony appeared at media day on Monday, donning the Nuggets' uniform, and told reporters that he never asked out of Denver.

"There's been a lot of speculation, a lot of rumors going on this summer about where I'm going to end up, the Nuggets want to trade me, I want to be traded," he said. "That's for my team and front office to discuss. I'm here to focus on basketball and training camp tomorrow."

While Anthony's preferred destination has long been considered New York, the Knicks don't have any draft picks to include in a trade package for the All-Star forward. Anthony has also shown interest in the Bulls, but Chicago resumed talks for a extension with center Joakim Noah, one of the team's biggest assets who averaged 10.7 points and 11 rebounds last season.

Anthony has averaged 24.7 points and 6.2 rebounds and made the All-Star team three times during his seven seasons with the Nuggets.

So I'm watching NBA TV cover the Knicks training camp and Rick Kamla and Greg Anthony are discussing the roster. They basically said that Mike D came spoke to them off camera and said that Landry Fields will be part of the rotation, in the top 11. Good for him.

Kamla and Anthony discussed Andy Rautins and said that Rautins doesn't figure to be in the rotation and that he will be a project. The only way he could become a part of the equation would be due to outstanding play or injuries.

Anthony said that he will have to learn to play the 1 to make himself more versatile to the Knicks and the league. Dude has shaky handle at best. The D-League is definitely in his future and maybe he can learn how to dribble over there.

Gregg Popabitch · Post by **Gregg Popabitch** » Tue Sep 28, 2010 8:18 pm

Big Breeze, your obsession with Andy Rautins is creepy.

LOL @ Landry Fields being part of the top 11. That's not a big deal. Mainly because, I don't remember the last time D'antoni played more then 7-8 people in his rotation.
