So a Frenchman, Latvian & Spaniard Walk Into Bar, Melo Takes All The Shots Offseason NYK Thread

[DPresidential]

Seems like a negotiating tactic, now the pressure is on Houston to sweeten the deal if they really want Melo. I also think the new GM hire has something to do with it, but I don't know to what extent cause he hasn't officially been put into that spot yet.

I agree.

I'm hoping the pressure and spotlight being dimmed will help the GMs work on a deal discreetly without thirsty fans like me constantly tweeting "what's happening now? What's happening now?"

A trade this complex with the media presence is like trying to disarm a bomb on Facebook live.

If a trade happens, I think it'll appear sudden even though they were actually working behind the scenes.

Good point I didn't consider that. The past 3 days or so must have been particularly aggravating in that regard.

That or they are going to try to convince him to open up places he can be traded to. A lot of good teams could use Melo. Him wanting to only play with CP3 or Lebron doesn't really make sense

Listening to it now; good stuff. Hope he's prepared for the madness of working at MSG... Sounds like a level headed cat with a good idea of how to build a team.

Listening to him he sounds like an old school playa from the himalayas. I think he can hack it

I really hate the way the Knicks are covered by the media

It actually does since those teams have a higher chance of reaching their conference finals and league finals. Plus both teams have superstar players that take the heat off of him more.

So it looks like the Sacramento gets our 2019 2nd rounder and cash as compensation

I can live with this, it’s not a first and we can always get a second if need be.

How doesn't that make sense He has a NTC why not go to the best team possible for himself

It’s cause they know dudes thrive on Knicks news, whether it’s negative or positive(they’ll spin it to be negative). Obsessed with us, ol Ali Larter ass motherfukkers

Knicks/Carmelo have been the Media go to organization for controversy, jokes and gossip for years and the NBA promotes it. Rarely do they make the news for actual Basketball.
