More weight would help him on the glass and improve his defense, his frame can easily take another 15-20lbs without it having an impact.
He knows he needs to get stronger + add weight , and so does the coaching staff, it's going to happen in time

He definitely needs to gain at least 15lbs but for his height and play style it needs to be added on gradually. Not in one summer.
Btw, I know Knicks fans don't want to hear this again, but Melo has to be on borrowed time. I don't see how they can play together if Porzingis starts to blossom.
Sell high when your get the opportunity

I don't think he's declining yet but he needs a win be in a win now situation.

They'll play together fine as long as they're willing too. Think of Melo as the 4 and Zingis as the 3 on offense. That high low would be devastating.

phil not hollering at melo about free agency pick ups or keeping him in the loop of things just seems petty to me
almost seems like hes trying to bait him into saying some shyt

Melo is not a player that deserves to be kept in the loop. He ain't LBJ, he ain't prime TD, he ain't prime Kobe

Pretty happy with porzingis so far. He's fluid and his shot is wet. At Times he seems to struggle getting open and other times it seems he has knack for it. I'm not worried. Passing is pretty good. Defensively at 7'3 he gets that his length is a problem.
My one complaint that I seen a lot of in this thread is he has no rebounding instinct don't get me wrong he gets position at times. But he still comes up empty.

Man....Melo has to show he wants this to work and be flexible. If not the media is going to turn on him very quickly

those guys are some the greatest players of all time
nothing wrong with not being at their level
but melo is a star in his own right
and mayb if people stop telling him what he's not and jumping on him over every little thing, then it will help with him getting to the next level
he clearly cares. he said he posted pictures of all the free agent targets on his wall and was willing to help in the recruiting process.
phil just gave him a 100 million dollar contract so he must see something in him
isolating him isnt helping anything
the problem with Melo is we pay him like a superstar when in actuality he isn't. At this stage in his career there's virtually zero chance of him changing the way he plays to play within an offense that passes and moves without the ball. His ability to create his own shot doesn't have value when they're not going in enough. Fans get lost in that.
Luckily for us many NBA franchises are run by mongos so if we can gain some future assets(picks and expirings) its in our best interest to move him sooner rather than later...assuming he agrees(fat chance)

Giving a nikka a max contact don't mean he needs to be involved with every in and out of the front office. Lol at that being the barometer for an NBA player... Max contracts. Every nikka that got a max this year should be involved with the front office now?
Melo could have left if he wanted to last year so

Melo stayed for the extra bucks and the city. I think he has his sights on LA if things go even more sour with Phil/franchise. You just hope the Lakers are dumb enough to do it.
