OT - Steve Novak Traded to Denver

[TheSultan]

I thought the Linsanity Knicks were more fun to watch than the give the ball to Carmelo and get out of his way Knicks.
You may be a fan of the way Carmelo plays, and personally I am not, and that is fine. I don't think I watched another Knicks game that year after Carmelo came back.

I'm simply saying that Carmelo helped the Knicks win a ton of games that year and get into the playoffs.

Steve's mom supposedly made quite a scene at Menards when she heard the news .

Agree with Caribou and Gato, I actually tuned in to watch the Linsanity Knicks as they were a lot of fun to watch (and it was fun seeing Novak get playing time). Unfortunately for Knicks fans, that ended as soon as Carmelo came back, and of course Carmelo is still there. That guy is brutal.

Hopefully Novak gets some playing time with the Bucks.

Carmelo is a black hole, once he gets the ball, he is putting up a shot eventually.

Probably Steve's last contract with retirement soon?

That would be my guess. But it would seem a shame for him to retire. There have got to be only a handful of teams left for him to play for to collect them all.

That Lin/Novak run was really fun while it lasted.

I remember watching this game in a bar with some buddies - the place was up for grabs. Novak chipped in with 9 points - 3 for 9 from the three, but collected 5 rebounds!!

Steve would play for as long as someone is willing to pay him. But his oldest child is in school and there are other concerns. He and Christina have a house in Whitefish Bay and they would love to just stay here. But there is so much money to be had....

Could you see him getting involved with the MU b-ball program post playing days assuming there was interest on MU's end or he has enough cash to look at other options not so grinding?

[Gato78]

Yes.

Yes.

Shooting coach! Would be great for a guy like Hauser.
