That's all fine and dandy, except for the fact that Carmelo has said that he does not want to be traded to New Jersey.
That was not the first opportunity he got to leave. Do you not remember the extension he signed? Since when are rookie deals 7 years long?
I know that I wouldn't blame the guy, our team was and still is doing a terrible job building around Iggy. I don't blame guys that leave during free agency, they don't owe anything to any team. They should pursue the best option for themselves. It's their career, not their team's.

err by doing a sign+trade lebron got to be paid more than what he could've gotten by signing directly afaik?
