Well he's impossible to cut unless they were to arrange some sort of buy out. The Knicks are still on the hook for 60 mill or so.

I know but its ways. Buyouts , trades, bench him and he will ask for a buyout or trade. For a fanbase that hates a player so much. Why dont they just get rid of him. Especially now since KP can bring in fans, and deserves the keys to the franchise apparently.

Bad teams figure out ways to lose. This is how you tank properly though, these dudes put in a pretty good effort and actually had spurts of good defensive communication but the offense was pretty ugly for stretches. This ain't the type of game you want to win where Melo and Rose isolation play was damn near the only thing working; so let the tank keep going screw it.

Bullshyt Melo had 30 11 and 7 last week and had 28, 10 and 6 right after and had 15 points in the third. Stop acting like a team wouldn't want Melo. Stop trolling. Melo aint perfect but than fanbase blame dude for everything. nikkas blamed him for rose not showing up to the game. I just want him to leave Ny for he end up like marbury

Melo and Rose playing like this will draw some attention from gm's that want to solidify a playoff spot. Someone will think "we can make that work"

It's time to start Lance for Noah. Noah looks good with the bench unit anyway. It would help the team defense imo and we've seen time and time again that KP struggles against 4s.

A no trade clause basically gives the player all the power. Carmelo doesnt want to leave. It's on him not the Knicks at this point.

Turn the tv on and the first thing I see is MSG replaying a KP airball :skip: After all the fuss made in the offseason, NY is basically on the same level as Philly right now, key difference being that Philly has loads of potential and the Knicks have little room to get better, since they're an older team and all :snoop:

I really haven't liked Lance's defense lately, I'd go Holiday if we wanted to boost the starting defense. Lee and Holiday working together has always been fun to see even though it rarely happens. Edit: He was pretty good tn but I feel like he's been hit or miss game to game lately.

Not buying that bullshyt at all. If yall front office didn't want Melo on the team he wouldnt be. Rondo just got benched for 5 games. Yall hate Melo so much, he fukk up the knicks so bad. Just bench him. Didn't they do that to marbury ?

I'm not into this blaming the player for accepting the contract that's given to him

The owner loves Melo and isnt going to allow that.

Why doesn't phil just ask him to waive the NTC. Phil got chips, and the nyc fans and media hate Melo so no one would care or ride for melo.

Yall just don't wanna blame phil for anything. Why cant phil sit down with Melo and say this aint working out etc...

Phil would have to find a team/city he'd be willing to go and that team has to want him back. The Knicks can't dictate the terms here...any trade Melo can block if he doesn't like it.

The Knicks were out of their minds to give him this which leads me to believe there's a lot more to the Knicks/Melo relationship than we're privy to. I think he's the only player in the entire league with a no trade clause.
