Its almost like David Wright for the Mets--yes hes on the team but not really(and they both have gigantic contracts) we cant make forward looking plans with Noah slotted in.

Ya think?

Noah's contract is the only truly bad one due to his health issues. If he's able to come off the bench it's an expensive reserve but at least he brings a great presence and voice for a young team.

There are some other fairly bad ones. Don't forget with an amnesty, you get cap space. I'd rather have $26 mil in cap space this off-season than anything we can get in Melo trade unless his trade value ends up being a lot higher than I expected. And with Phil, we need some spare amnesties also!

melo scores 23 ppg, 7rbs and 3.5 asst, plays over 70 games per season

noah had zero impact in the locker room, on the court, and was suspend additional games for peds..how the hell you can compare these 2 is beyond ridiculous..lol

trust me, Noah is no rasheed

The defender of all things Melo and the moral compass that points to Phil when things go wrong!!!! Knicks1248 is our champion even when there is no cause to defend!!!
A true superhero!!!!! superpower focus to see only Noah as the only bad contract in the NBA for any team. In fact, it might be the worst in history!!! Only thing to do is not hope he gets healthy, or consider his other contributions, but focus on blame. Never let blame go to waste!!!

There hasn't been a move that phil has made that I wasn't on board with, even Naoh, im not a big melo fan to say the least. the part of phil I hate, is his accountability, forcing the triangle on everybody associated with the knick, keeping rambis on the coaching staff, and the treatment of melo, who only started losing(in his career) when he arrived. other than that, phil is great

You do realize that Phil "forced" the Triangle on the Bulls and the Lakers? Neither team ran Triangle before he came and "forced" all of them to adopt the Triangle. Did a LOT of winning that way! The difference is the players BUYING IN.
