well nothing shuts your mouth, so there's just another thing that remains to be seen I guess. Hey, with Lin running the show I thought anything was possible but this last task appears too monumental even for his skills.

You describe Melo in a way more fit for Marbury. All Melo has ever done in the NBA is play on winning teams. All of them. Winning. You would describe him as some malcontent cancer. Good job. I wonder if while the Knicks are working their way up the playoff seeding chart if you will still subject us to this drivel. Pretty sure we all already know


He's won 2 playoff series in eight years. You can't be serious.

Shut my mouth? You word things in a quite abrasive way for a guy who complained about my bringing up our season predictions earlier and calls me "snotty".

You said help his team win lots of games. Isn't that what he did in Denver?? Now its win lots of playoff games. Oh. You were probably one of many who used to bash Ewing. How many championships did he win? He was a great player. Did he have faults? Sure but his biggest problem was he never had a great 2nd player on his team. Was that his fault? Every day its the same crap out of your mouth. Melo finally has a PG to play with. When they win I am sure you will complain about something else. Are you this miserable in your everyday life?

let him have it!

"LINISH HIM!"

You actually think MElo did this as a favor to Denver? LOL, no chance. Denver had enough depth without him. There is not one shred of evidence to support the crazy hypothesis of what is being put out here. Look, I think we can succeed with MElo and this lineup (now, with Lin) but I can see him pretty clearly, both in interviews and on the court. That guy is about "ME" it's even in his name. People are what they are, we don't separate them into two different personalities - one at work and one at home. e.g. - If you are an aggressive person at work you can't be a soft loving one at home. You can try to act it, but it just doesn't work like that.

I agree as in the quote above that it was really selfish to help dismantle the team here when all he had to do was say the right things, play it low key and come as a FA. Luckily we were able to get some talent, it seems. It wasn't easy, we again were great in the draft and then were able to get Lin. But all of this was chancy at the time.

He did this for the money. If he wanted to really do something for the team he should have accepted less money to play here like the big 3 did in Miami. Then we would have had more free money for other players.

This is just absolutely crazy what is being said now here but if it makes you feel better about him then go on believing it. Great thing about belief systems.

It wasn't a favor. During the time that Melo was trying to get traded, Lebron was being turned into a public enemy in Cleveland, while he had previously been Cleveland's favorite son. Melo didn't want to leave on bad terms with the Denver management and fans. It would definitely have happened, if he decided to help the Knicks and leave the management and the fans of Denver with scraps. He actually said that he wanted to stay on good terms with Denver at some point, but no, I am not going to dig back and find the actual quote for you.

"He did this for the money. If he wanted to really do something for the team he should have accepted less money to play here like the big 3 did in Miami. Then we would have had more free money for other players."

Come on now. Its a business. His advisers want him to get as much as they can, so they can make more money. It is unclear whether Amare and Melo might kick in some money at some future time in order to help the Knicks get a player that will put them over the top. But taking less money than you can get in the marketplace, to benefit a rich organization like the Knicks, is something you don't see very often and cannot expect.

Melo had to know that he was weakening the Knick's team in what he was doing. But he probably has so much self confidence, that he probably thought the combination of he and Amare would be good enough to make things work, even if the Knicks gave up too much. (Yes he was wrong.) He didn't want to hurt his many friends in Denver, and become a villain in a place that he really liked. He acted against his own self interest in doing this. But he did it any way. If you live in Denver, it actually was a classy move on his part. (Actually unselfish in a way.)

Please God trade Melo now!!
