"More money more problems, gotta move Carefully"-Jay-Z Aint no Love (Heart of the City)
On this Valentines Day as many people confess their undying love to one another or celebrate the single life; I pose the question..Where is the LOVE for Melo? Rapper Jay-Z states in his 2000 classic that as your bank account grows the more careful you need to be....like having a $65 million dollar contract waiting on you to sign. Enter the plight of Carmelo Anthony.
There are only 10 days remaining until the trade deadline, which seems like an eternity in the Melo-drama that is surrounding the Denver Nuggets star. He has reportedly been traded to New Jersey, Houston, New York, and even the Los Angeles Lakers. So why has nobody dived head in on one of the top 5 players in the league?
The Knicks want him, but are they willing to gut their roster to get him? The Lakers seem to be content on sticking it out with Andrew Bynum, although I'm not sure they wont regret that later. Bynum provides plenty of upside, but he's had upside for 5 seasons now. Carmelo is a sure thing! While I too do not want Pao Gasol as my only wall between the rim and defenders, Melo is a pure scorer. He can free up Bryant even more, and they will have a superstar in the wings when Kobe exits. Good plan? I don't know but Melo is still playing wondering when his break will come.
The constant flirtation by teams has got to be taking a toll on him and his family. He was just married last summer, but he has to feel like a contestant on the Bachelorette waiting to be chosen. I feel you Melo, there are a lot of us out here waiting to be chosen. With only this season remaining on his deal Carmelo holds the final card; the Big Joker if you will, and when you are single and ready to mingle that's a beautiful thing.
Happy Valentines Day!
