Melo isn't being shutdown yet because

He is a draw for MSG fans


That he was told this is something that will

Continue to be discussed and longterm circumstances will factor


Melo's treatment towards injury after shutdown

He went on to say the Knicks are in a very difficult situation


There isn't a move out there for Phil to make

That would improve the team now nor in the immediate future


Teams aren't beating down the doors asking for players on a 5-30 team


This is a long-term rebuild job, trading Shumpert and THJR

Is possible but it will accomplish pretty much nothing


The team will also have a very difficult time attracting free agents

For a number of different reasons and that we'll have to be lucky in the lottery


They are sticking to the plan and the plan is Triangle and Derek Fisher

Aldridge is great. Daugherty on espn today said if Melo isn't hurt he needs to play because people bought tickets with expectation of seeing him go up against other nba stars. Last night a guy called Somers show after the game and said that he spent $600 to take his family of four to see the Knicks get crushed by the Pistons.

He shouldn't complain. What did he expect?

I'd say Melo should play if he isn't hurt because he just signed a ginormous contract.

But he doesn't seem right, and should be shut down so he can be right and play to potential next year.

Sad time is coming for casual MSG fans.
Rangers tickets are going up on secondary market...

Sounded like he bought the tickets before everything went south. Agree about Melo.

I was at the game because my folks split up a season ticket plan with friends and it was definitely a horror show. I'm willing to bet if you had spent money on that crap you would feel cheated too.

That said I do think Melo should shut it down but I understand why people are upset about Melo not playing.

He bought tickets two years ago?

No, there's a difference between buying tickets expecting to see the roots of a championship offense being sown on a mediocre team and dragging yourself to a game to watch a 5-30 abomination.

If the Knicks are suggesting to Melo to shut down for the season, then they should offer refunds to any season ticket holders.

That would fair at the minimum.

Not to disrespect the guy who took his family

To the Pistons game but why are people in New York


Paying these astronomical prices to support Dolan's enterprise

In this rough economy, these same people will cry about how bad


Obama has ran the country yet you take your family to

Go see the worst team in the league play the 7th worst team in the league


And spend a whopping $600.00, Why why why why

If my mom gave birth to me inside of MSG and I was raised there

As for me going to a game today

Buying a ticket now when you know the product sucks, I have no pity there. But I do feel the season tickets holders who buy their tickets in advance. But I'm not a fan of blatantly not playing players.

Yeah the season ticket holders[not in case that's who this fan was]

Are so screwed this yr, I'd be looking for the guy


With the family or four or whatever and hock my tickets off to him

Maybe with a slight discount


Those tickets are the next highest sunk cost next to Carmelo's contract

The guy on Somers show said he bought the tickets as a Christmas present for his son. He said he bought them before things went bad. I have family that buy me Knicks tickets as a gift before the season starts. I think he was right to feel like he got a raw deal.

A lot of that is self-deception on the fans' part then. It was clear before the season started based on the models that this would be at best a .400s team.

I dont think anyone from the media or any metric or even fans thought it would be this bad. Those folks who bought their tickets in advance are absolutely getting robbed.
