Ha, why don't you tell Dolan how you really feel.

Billionaires generally don't jerk off they have employees who do those sorts of things for them

I'll give credit where credit is due. Melo has been critical in this .480 era!

Yet where have we gotton?

This isn't a bash Melo thing for me because that's not what I do. With that said, for me, when we gave up those assets, we should have expected serious progress. We hardly made any progress besides 2 first round exits and a second round exit... and now we are on our way to a first round pick which we aren't guaranteed to even have, yet we find ourselves DESPERATELY needing it. To top it off, we find ourselves HOPING Melo remains hurt so we don't f' that up, thinking it will all just go away at Summers end, even though we know perfectly well (as Knicks fans) that it doesn't work that way with knees that have seen many NBA miles.

With that said, you can go ahead and say "We didn't give up anything" and "Melo is a franchise player, stop bashing him" and "Melo can't do it by himself" all you want. However, that trade hasn't done jack squad for us 4 or 5 years later and I sure as in hell expect more from Melo than shooting 38%, 42% and 41% from the field, especially when he had other players around him playing well on offense in that second round exit.

So in your assessment, why haven't we gone as far as you thought the Knicks should have??..And when was Melo shooting those numbers???

In other words, the Melo trade was the steal of the century.
But if you thought anything good would happen from it, you were wrong.
