Breh... As I said, when I speak, I speak from the perspective of a frustrated fan. These other nikkas be going in on him for no reason. Talking about family members and shyt. I'm still a fan, and I love his game. I want to see him succeed too. Maybe not on the Knicks, but I still want him to be successful and win. Whatever team he goes to, I'll still root for him. It is what it is.

:ehh:

I would love to have okafor for lee. He's young enough where you would hope he can develop into a decent defender. The offense is already there. Perhaps a change of scenery even if it is the knicks, could help him. But if it doesn't work, no big loss, you can try and flip him down the line.

If we're ready to move KP to the center position next season, he would be great at the 4 next to him and you can always bring in Willy and move KP to the 4 if it's not working out.

Definitely a low risk high reward deal

It could work if he's in the post more, im not a fan of pf/c's shooting threes because you'll lose rebounding opportunities

I think a lot of us are still Melo fans. Just think he should move on from this organization and that it would be beneficial to both parties
I agree 100%, but let's be realistic, more than 80% have been shytting on him for yrs and continue to do it.

Also there is a huge difference than wanting him off the team for future build reasons than wanting him off the team because "he sucks" or is "fat"

Yea, Melo one of my favorite players ever. Idk how many years I've been defending him now. I just want him to get to a great situation. I still don't even mind keeping him if it comes to that and we're competitive enough but I know we won't be and I'm prepared for another interesting season as long as we stay young. Best believe in talking cash shyt when Melo performs his ass off next season and people try to cop pleas... "WE ALWAYS KNEW MELO COULD DO THIS!"
