pretty much.
and watch the media try to link JR Smith's comments with Melo's. They are totally unrelated & should be treated as such....but they won't.
Melo = A-Rod to "the people" in NY
Sucks...
Melo: It's up to the organization to match that ridiculous contract

things will be very interesting in MSG if the Knicks start out slow...
Who gives a fukk?
This is FREE AGENCY here damnit, not "loyalty" week. Lin can sign the for the max money because he CAN and he SHOULD. Sign with the highest bidder who wants your services and if NY can't or won't match then it was fun while it lasted. This is a BUSINESS, not little league. Jeremy Lin went from sleeping on his brothers couch to getting 25 million dollar offers and he's supposed to turn that down out of a sense of loyalty? There is NO SUCH THING as loyalty in professional sports. Wake the fukk up

Fat boy got outta pocket talking about Lin's paper & you and the rest of his PR team are in full damage control. "Bu-bu but this is what he meant to say" ass nikkaz
I would've had more respect for the comments if yall just stuck by em and said fukk who dont like it.
Right. Melo's a better player than Joe, yet Joe leads his team deeper in the playoffs than Melo. nikkaz making roughly the same amount of money and one is more of a winner (Joe) than the other (Melo).
@ paying 21 milly to win a regular season game in ATL. You pay him 21 mil to win ONE playoff game in 2 yrs too?
Up some highlights of Melo winning a playoff game BREH
teams were mismatched no other weapons they just double teamed melo and forced the other nikkas to shoot he cant do it alone
same reason bron went to miami

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
I wonder who one of those "guys" is? Hmmm...JR trying to tell yall nikkaz something, but yall not listenin
Who gives a fukk?
Pump your fukking brakes. Did I say he shouldn't get all his money ?? He can get whatever he wants but knicks don't have to match with the new deal hell Cost 30 mil in the last year. He's the one saying he wanted to stay in NYC well then why go add more money at the last minute where do you hear of players doing that ? He can easily make that 5 mil back with Endorsements in NYC
He's the one saying he's blindsided and wanted to stay in new York .
Lol at people saying Melos jealous hes rich and famous you think he's jealous of Lin ? He knows once the games starts all he has to do is win

I like my women tall
There are rookies better than Lin

Melo beat the heat didn't he avxl?? Why doesn't this guy make more threads about the hawks? He almost singlehandely beat the celtics in the playoffs too if Jeffries dunks the ball. When did JJ ever do that for the hawks
See I'm feeling what Smith said. "it's just business". He understands what this is. As far as Lin making more money than other players, it's BUSINESS. We all know what this. Lin's story is a made for film rags to riches tale waiting for a written screenplay. He is a draw, and you think he's NOT gonna get paid off that?
Any fool with half a brain would RIGHTFULLY get that money. No other player in this league is going to feed Jeremy Lin or his family. Nobody gave a fukk about Jeremy Lin when he was getting cut from teams, when he was too small, to thin, too Asian, not this or that,etc. No other player was with him shooting in the gym
. The BUSINESS is kind to you when it brings benefit and shyts on you when it doesn't, as of right now Jeremy Lin is riding the wave and that's his right, fukk anything else

Marcus Camby, Tyson, & Steve Novak must be furious then. Since they the only ones other than J.R. who've played longer than Lin and havent gotten a 14.8 salary yet

Breh stop with the excuses. Melo just hasnt got it done in the playoffs...dude has the WORST playoff winning percentage of any player with at least 50 playoff games played. Also, stop comparing Melo to the best player in the game
@ 23statcity, Lin got more SI covers in 3 weeks (3), than Melo has had in his whole life. Yea Melo is a bigger basketball star, but bigger celebrity was Lin. Lets not forget that while Melo was hurt the media was asking who's team it was & if Melo could adjust to Lin. Melo's an All NBA'er with pride...he felt slighted & disrespected during that whole Linsanity run. That fat nikka Melo was slick jealous
He's talking about players who have been playing longer but haven't gotten paid that much (rewards). So he clearly isn't talking about melo, considering he's one of the highest paid players in the league.
Just stop it man.
We get you don't like melo, but there are much easier arguments to make than this super reach.
From what all early sources reported, NY was waiting on the market to dictate Lin's value and was willing to match whatever that value was perceived as. If Lin or his agent took this to heart, and Houston dictated that his worth was 3 years at 25 millie and structured the contract as is, then Lin would have the right to assume NY would match. If Houston felt NY would match and added more money and NY doesn't want to match then so be it. On either side there is no blame. Sure Lin might have wanted to stay in NY, but Houston obviously wants him to the point their willing to structure a deal that gets him PAID guaranteed. fukk endorsements and the rest of that shyt, what's in the contract is in the contract. Maybe Lin felt that NY would match no matter what and when they didn't he was a little blindsided, still doesn't mean anything, he's either going to get paid that amount in Houston or NY and that ALL that matters.
Theorizing on if Melo is jealous or not is ridiculous. We don't know that man, don't know his thoughts, or his opinions on that matter. If he feels that the contract is "ridiculous" that doesn't automatically mean he's jealous. The only fact is that Carmelo Anthony doesn't have any vested interest in making sure Jeremy Lin gets paid, only Jeremy Lin does, therefore only HIS opinion matters
