Nah. Take a look at the team record while he was here. He was here 6.5 years — we averaged 29 wins a year the last 4. An equivalent( actually superior) Knicks player was Bob Macadoo. I’ve never seen his name mentioned. Accept for a 3 year period before Ewing the Knicks were always a decent team. This period of time( the last twenty years or so) simply need to be forgotten. I’m not cheering for shtty teams and no one else is either. Enough with Carmelo— it’s an unnecessary divergence. Do u really want Carmelo to take even 5 minutes of pt from any young player. Honestly. The correct answer is hel to the no.
I think there’s a chance to get better here. We don’t need it( Melo)
You bring Melo back if you have the right pieces in place, we need to stop blaming players for not playing above and beyond their skills.
Can you blame melo for Amare breaking down, can you blame him for Tysons injuries, can you blame him for KPs age, can you blame him for having only 2 decent pg's to play with (kidd and felton).
Mills took over and turn the roster in to lab rats, with some fake rebuild, experimenting with different players every 90 days..
I don’t care— I just want to look forward. Looking behind has zero value
This from someone who just mentioned a player from 35 years ago.
McAdoo played for parts of three seasons. He joined the franchise immediately after the glory years and had little to no impact in changing the downward spiral. The team made the playoffs once. Then he was gone.
Truly, a great comparison. You are dumber than a post with a bag of hammers.
Carmelo’s value to this team is no more than Bob McAdoo. I missed where Carmelo sent the franchise back on an upswing. Maybe you can call Jim Dolan on your bat phone and have him come on the board to explain it to us?
Bernard King was more of a guy who deserved franchise praise— only dogged by a bad injury. But he single handily made the team viable when he played. Carmelo was nothing much more than a good player on a bad team. He could not make players around him better. Case closed?
Unless you're going to sing the praises of half a season of Mr. Wine Bath, tell me where the franchise was before Carmelo joined the team and what happened immediately afterwards? In terms of wins and losses. For three full seasons. With the additions of nothing but old flotsam and other random pieces of **** during that time. Hopefully you don't need a billionaire owner/bad guitar player to explain something like that to you.
I forget where Bob McAdoo was in the running for League MVP, set franchise records, won the division (without making anyone on the team any better), and lead the team in assists. Or singlehandedly dragged the team to the playoffs.
Maybe you could explain that to us all. I doubt it seriously, but please, carry on.
Love BK. Maybe you'd like to bring BK back instead?
