No, and they shouldn't. Do you remember how the Knicks were basically a lost cause in everyone's eyes?
Whether you like Linsanity or find him overrated, nobody can question what he did to that franchise or city. He made people in NYC wake up on the right side of the bed every morning, and his play proved it. His played kinda went down when Melo came, but you have to take into consideration the way Melo plays and also how he was coming onto the floor with a guy he had no experience with.
Personally, I believe him and Melo could've meshed, I don't feel Stoudemire could've though.
And this is coming from someone who's favorite team is the Raptors and him sinking that buzzer beater lol. Why didnt you guys match the offer for Fields?! Didnt want him lol.
One question. They didnt sign him mainly because it would mess up their salary cap in the 3rd year, I'm curious, can't they use that money from what they'll make through marketing, tickets, etc?
