That right there is the gist of it. You can stick spare parts around Melo.. guys like Toney Douglas, Landry Fields, Copeland, bla bla bla and you make the playoffs. Stick the same spare parts around Chandler/Gallo/Mosgov and they are a lottery team.
I dont love Melo here, we cant build this thing right to get the most out of his talent with this retarded owner so its pointless, but in terms of value? I once thought the Knicks got fleeced. We didnt. we made out just fine. Its the moves after we totally yacked up

This. All day, everyday.
We read Melo blew up the team. We read over and over about Melo forcing to trade half the team away. What team?
It's wasted typing though. tkf would trade melo straight up for the rights to Darko's dog. Make that Darko's dog's sheehit.
Remember the miles of threads showing us how great Denver was after the trade? How they were building for the future? How Karl's genius was finally going to show through? How Gallo was going to be everything at both ends that Melo never would be, in the playoffs and beyond?
Hello? It's the future gentlemen.
how is that working out for us now? we have better than spare parts and we suck...
according to you what stars do denver have? yet they won 57 games last year... they have won more games than us every year since the trade.. even right now, up to this point they are a game better and they don't even have gallo playing..
plus the picks, lord forbids we miss the playoffs and win the lottery..
this kind of talk is just foolish.. absolutely foolish.. carmelo is a waste of 20million dollars.. not money well spent... you guys can fool yourselves all you want..
the proof is in the pudding
3-7 and counting..
First round and out. Say that to yourself.
they won 57 games, but they're first...round...and...out.
I thought the regular season didn't matter? Remember that line of reasoning when everyone on here talks about 54 wins and winning the division?
Try a little consistency, tkf. It might help your coherence.
You'd rather be Utah <---this is sig worthy, dude. Seriously.
DENVER IS now .500 and not healthy
knicks are 3-9 and stink..
say that to yourself Jrod and find another hobby, you not good at this..
regular season matters to teams like Denver who are clearly trying to rebuild..
win now teams like the knicks.. 54 wins and then getting your brains blown out in the playoffs hurts.. no moral victories for these geezers...
Utah has youth and a ton of picks.. what do we have j-rod? yes right now I rather be utah!!!!
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
