The talk of a blockbuster Carmelo Anthony trade to the New Jersey Nets continues to build, and with it the pressure on Melo.
Throughout the process, he’s been cautious with his public comments — but in the past day or so, posts on his Twitter feed have grown increasingly whiny and defensive.
For instance, he posted this early Wednesday morning:

Denver, make your New Year’s Resolution Count!
We’re $15,500 away from our End-of-Year campaign goal, with just a few days left! We’re ready to deliver — but we need the resources to do it right. If Westword matters to you, please contribute today to help us expand our current events coverage when it’s needed most.
He seemed to apologize for the tone of this tweet, sort of, a few minutes later:

But less than a half an hour later came this:

Followed quickly by this:

And he wasn’t finished. Here’s a tweet from 1:26 a.m.:

He finished up with these two statements: I just looked at myself in the mirror and my reflection told me “Thank You”. Gott go to sleep on that.
