Sniffing a championship

It is being reportd today by every major outlet that Carmelo anthony has decided to grace you Knicks fans with his presence for another 5 years at 129 million dollars.

As you know this is no surprise to me but I do find it interesting how Knicks fans now think they have some sort of chance of winning a championship in the near future.

Even that low life Sid Rosenburg is back on New York talk radio making excuses for Anthony's short comings and fantasizing aloud about how good a defensive player Carmelo really is. 

Although none of us has seen what old Sid is alluding to over the past 11 years.

Let me tell you what going to happen Sid.

The talent in Cleveland, Washington, Toronto and Indiana will keep the Knicks from sniffing a championship at least for the next six to seven years.

That means that Anthony will be long gone and a very wealthy man when those talented young teams and Lebron James begin to get old and start to wear down.

Lamar Odom was waived yesterday and out of New York its only a matter of time before the Fan gives Sid his walking papers too.

This might turn into a decent summer after all.

He'll accept it

It has been reported by the New York Daily News that Phil Jackson offered Carmelo Anthony the max contract of 129 million dollars.

Let's be honest for a minute, all Phil Jackson could offer is 129 million dollars.

There is no great master plan of change, no big time free agents coming next season because Amare and Andrea Bargnani's contracts are still on the books.

But don't worry Knicks fans all Carmelo Anthony wants is his money so he'll accept it and maybe you will make it out of the first round of the playoffs a couple times before this contract runs out. That's about all you are going to get over the next four years.

Now let's see if Anthony will do the right thing and make a quick decision so that other teams can get about their business for other free agents or potential trades.
