That's because Melo refused to wait till the summer to sign with the Knicks he wanted to get traded so he could get to the Knicks and get as much money as possible

If you want your money fine but you then can't complain that you don't have enough help :hubie:
We say refused to wait.

Not thinking about George Karl being on the other side of that.

It was up to Knicks GM and owner to make that move. If your in a suit...You don't let a player dictate your moves.

Knicks management fukked that up.

Matter of fact, Walsh came out and said he was the one who pulled the trigger on that.

The way Phil has handled all of this has been pretty unprofessional, and it's not even the first time Phil has behaved in such a manner. I'm not saying Melo shouldn't be traded, but for Phil to scapegoat him, then run to the media to attempt to drive Melo out is weak as shyt. Pull that man to the side and tell him it's not working out, and acknowledge you put together a shytty roster that most people knew wouldn't be good from jump. Phil isn't that far away from the hot seat himself, if he fukks up a Melo trade and this upcoming offseason then it's probably a wrap for him.

explain the metaphor I don't watch soccer
Both got too much power

Both Overstayed their welcome

Both will go down as a legend for their respected team but it's just time to move on

No one is bigger than the team , it's time to get rid and build around the next man in line ( KP)

You're right.

Breh, I remember watching almost every game since Melo came to NY.

I remember Melo making passes to people open on the perimeter who consistently clanked shots.

I remember him getting surgery the summer after the playoffs because he refused to take time in order to be there for the team in the 'offs.

Melo is a flawed player, absolutely. But we in here acting like any other player, outside of Jordan and LeBron, would have taken the Melo rosters and made a gourmet meal out of Kraft Mac and cheese, breh.

Again, I'm conceding the Melo era has been a failure and by himself, he couldn't elevate this team anywhere near as high as people hyped you to do...

But I also know this organization as one who has almost never seen their premier player exit gracefully...

Not Frazier, Not Ewing... Nobody. This organization is a true embarrassment.

So much wrong with it.

People hate Melo cause he's not Lebron. It's really that simple, it's pathetic.

What does this even mean. Melo isn't a lot of guys.
You don't know what this means?

You really think Melo hasn't constantly been compared to his peers unfairly?

The whole""makes players better" Coli argument literally stemmed from people trying to add a new wrinkle to the compare and contrast.

Again, Melo is flawed, but don't play stupid, breh.

You know exactly what it means. We lost out on Lebron when he decided on Miami and had to settle for Melo. And ever since we've crucified Melo for looking after his bottom line, ie; what every other player does when they sign new contracts.

Look I'll keep saying it till I go to my grave...

We should of stayed with Mike Woodson... he was defensive minded and it showed on the court...

plus he took us to a number 2 seed and a 50 win season and a 1st round playoff win... even had Melo playing hard on D... Woodson got a raw deal man...

In hindsight, Woodface actually took My Knickas to our last ECF:whoo::noah::mjcry:
