Winning isnt guaranteed. The money is.

Melo tells how it went down every 3 years.
In the NBA the money is guaranteed too. It ain't like the 90s anymore where certain injuries mean the player will never been the same again. We've seen time and time again players that get hurt and still get max offers once they've proven they are superstars which Carmelo had already proven. Carmelo was getting a max after 3 years no matter what. That interview just struck me as Carmelo being risk adverse and also wanting to be his own man instead of playing with Lebron and being looked at as a second fiddle.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
If Melo valued winning he would’ve stayed in Denver. He valued being the guy in NY. And valued getting all his money over having the best team around him.

He could have signed with New York the following offseason but instead had to go there earlier and have the team gutted.

Would have been a great team.
