Probably just to avoid questions about the interaction with the fans? But this event is a Dolan favorite.

Seems like Melo is getting fed up. Hate to say it, but part of me wishes this happened a month ago when they could've gotten a bounty of draft picks for him at the trade deadline so we could be draft scouting for the next three months.

That's interesting. Skipping a charity event is why Camby and Sprewell got traded back in the day.
Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

Yep. A day after he told a fan (and the media) if the fan wanted his money back, go ask the owner.

I think either Phil or Melo will be gone by the beginning of training camp next year.

wow it may finally be happening. i think melo is gone. but then who is willing to take on that mammoth contract?
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Clippers for Blake.

If this had happened a month ago, I bet it woulda happened at the trade deadline.

Regardless, Clippers are probably wanna make a shake up this summer. Celtics still have a lot of draft picks if they want Blake and give us picks.

Also, I'm sure that Cavs/Celts trade is still out there.

I wonder if Melo is watching OKC / Clippers right now for personal reasons...

The contract is not a factor in the new salary cap for many teams. It is actually a bargain compared to what some guys will get for new contracts over the next couple of seasons.

If a deal does happen, i see a three team trade with Cleveland and Boston. Cleveland gets Melo, Celtics get Love, and we get the BK pick and a couple of other pieces from Boston.

or hes just frustrated from losing a thousand times
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

You guys really think Melo is going to move his son to Cleveland?

Clippers are not trading Blake, the more likely trade canidate is Chris Paul who has an opt out next summer. It's silly to go out west and try to compete the better option is staying east but there are zero real trade options.

I'd trade him to boston for brad stevens and danny ainge

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Does that come with an anti-Dolan vetoe clause in all transactions.

Also, how are you going trade Melo for the guys that want Melo?

This is usually the signs of a knick player being traded......

1) disrespect Dolan in some fashion
2) miss one of his events

he could just be avoiding the media after what happened yesterday. It was embarrassing as hell between the anti-dunk incident and him getting into it with a fan when he damn wells know those fans opinions mean nothing even in the $1000+ seats.

With the cap going up a lot of teams could absorb his contract damn near outright. Washington is an option, Miami might be an option too. If he really wants to chase a ring I think Cleveland is the only legit option out there. Plus a lot of his friends are there already.

Yeah it's Dolan's fault that Melo is so much in a physical decline, straight up elevating and making an open practice dunk leads to him being rejected by the rim. The guy is a steep physical decline being paid money that superstars in their prime make. Knicks like usual are paying a star for what he was used to be able to, not what he is actually able to do. I blame Dolan in that regard (seems before Phil he was always interested in getting the best star available on the market) but this current situation has as much to do with Melo's physical decline and huge salary as it does Dolan's mistakes.

It's not just about absorbing Melo's contract it's about places he wants to go and return assets. Melo for Otto Porter and a protected 1st is not that appealing.
