Does Carmelo really deserve to have his jersey retired anywhere, let alone the city in which he demanded a trade out of?

 

[Del Preston]

Put on the Clippers-Timberwolves game (SN1 in Canada, ESPN in the US).

i think he for sure should have his # retired in denver. he's top 3 in pretty much every offensive category

Good luck with that. 99% of the fanbase can't stand him.

Kings retired Rob Blake. He left in similar circumstances IIRC.

Well done, NBA. Three missed calls during important possessions of a close game and all against one team. The double dribble was the most obvious one that everyone could see as it happened. The only people who didn't see it were the three people with the whistles. If this was Morey, he'd already be getting a 20 page report ready to send to the league office.

I feel like that’s the kind of thing you replay the last bit of the game for.

Lakers get all the calls.

 

[Terry Yake]

the play with butler/lebron at the end could have gone either way. and i'm not sure which replay they're watching but i didn't see AD foul butler at all on the last shot

they did miss an obvious double dribble on danny green though. but they also called goaltending on the lakers which should not have been called so its safe to say both teams benefited from the bad reffing

A "Johnathan Daly" account spends all its time defending Knicks' owner James Dolan

Unsurprisingly, James Dolan has a burner account

He did lead the franchise to their first WCF in whatever amount of years it was, that was 10 years ago and IIRC they haven’t been back. Was a helluva offensive player for them and was the face for a solid 7 or so years.

His exit was obviously tough but it wouldn’t shock me if they let bygones be bygones and retire it.

He's a HOF'er and did a lot for the Nuggets but one of the problems is that Jokic already has Melo's #15 now. How do you retire it when your current franchise player, who could have an even better career than Melo, is wearing the number? I don't think you can unless Jokic himself says they should and switches to a different number.

they'd probably retire it twice for both players if it came to that. unless jokic pulls a ray bourque and changes his number so that they can retire #15 for melo

mike trout wears #27 for the angels but they're eventually going to retire that number for vlad guerrero. similar situation but in this case they are 100% going to retire it for guerrero so we'll see what happens

Melo was pretty good with Denver. That's where his # gets retired.

They will of course wait. I.E no guarantee Jokic spends his entire career there and if he does, they could do a double retirement like the Rangers did for Graves & Bathgate or the Habs with half of their players (lol)

Wow I never took that in RE Trout. He seems like a super nice guy so either he’ll change it no problem or say no only for all the fans who bought his jersey already (or he offers to pay for the number change like Nylander did, Trouty certainly has the money to do so lol)

He didn`t accomplish much there or anywhere for that matter. It`s like as great as Vince Carter was I`m not sure 1 team could/should lay claim to retiring his jersey.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Warriors are now 5-23.

5-23. Crazy.

 

[Gecklund]

The Warriors are now 5-23.

5-23. Crazy.

I mean when you consider that Curry and Klay are hurt and Draymond is trash, it’s not really that crazy.

 

[Terry Yake]

The Warriors are now 5-23.

5-23. Crazy.

they'll be a playoff team again next season with curry and klay healthy

 

[Stylizer1]

they'll be a playoff team again next season with curry and klay healthy

they will add someone too.

 

[Gecklund]

they'll be a playoff team again next season with curry and klay healthy

I mean they’ll probably get a high pick in the draft, take Wiseman and roll with Curry-DLo-Klay-Draymond-Wiseman which is a fantastic starting 5.

Re: Vince Carter. He gets his jersey retired anywhere it'll be by the Raptors. He's the player that put the team on the map and if you ask me he's the best player in their franchise history.

The Warriors are 5-23, got to think that turns around next year. A lot of tough luck for them this season thus far.

 

[Terry Yake]

yeah VC will for sure get his jersey retired in toronto

 

[Cassano]

Pacers are quietly a top 10 team in the league. With Brogdan missing games and Oladipo out the whole season.

The East is beyond stacked with good playoff teams.
