To be fair I think people should be more neutral in regards to melo. Yes there are some who hate on melo BUT there are some who also are never critical of him.

Wanting what's best for the organization is not being critical of Melo

It's a fact that he is older and it would be wise not to max him out

And people here are willing to talk about that. I mean thats really the big thing on the table right?

But you recognize why Melo finished 3rd in MVP voting last year. You recognize why he won player of the week. You recognize the very good things he brings to the table, so I for one enjoy hearing your thoughts on what you think is the best way to build this thing.

As opposed to loser/cancer, everyone from the GMs, sportswriters, fans and other NBA players are wrong and Melo is really a terrible person bla bla bla you have heard it. DK actually got pissy because someone posted how generous Melo is and how is charity is one of the best run.

I am 100% with you Guns... I want to see the Knicks fighting for a title year after year for another decade. With or without Melo.

"Forbes fashioned a short catalog of charitable celebrities in an article entitled The 30 Most Generous Celebrities at the head of 2012. Authors, actors, artists, comedians, models and athletes were applauded for the selfless acts, including NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony, whose generosity included providing a total sum of $837,200 ($500,000 to Syracuse University and $302,000 to The Living Classroom Foundation)"

anthony's salary: $18,518,574

302,000 divided by 18,500,000 equals 1.3%

whats next?

1. Chews with his mouth open?
2. Been known to ignore his salad fork?
3. Says "Um" too many times?
4. Does not put the seat down after using the toliet?
5. Does not sort his laundry?
6. Fails to always signal when he turns?
7. Does not inform host when out of toliet paper?
8. Puts back empty cartons of cereal?
9. Does not cuttle after sex?
10. Does not put ketchup cap back on after using it!!!!!!!

dude i don't want to hear about it. 1.3% of a salary this enormous is insignificant. the dude is GREEDY and nothing changes that.

12-13 million per year will change that perception.

...you're kidding, right? You cite a source on Melo donating over $800,000, and then call him greedy because one of the donations was a mere $300,000? The whole point of donating is that no one is forcing you, i.e., an act of charity. Complain about his basketball, but bitching about charity is not a good look for anyone...

the poster who originally reported his charitable donations has already said that melo is a max player no matter where he plays or in any situation. the same poster considers melo an elite player in this league.

the poster has chronically exaggerated, and citing his charitable donations he has only shown how this thematic exaggeration continues.

the quote i cited that he gave the lion's share of his charitable donations, $500,000, to a university called syracuse-- which is a private institution. i wonder if they decided to name a gymnasium in his honor?

THAT IS NOT GIVING TO CHARITY!!!!!!

he contributed 302,000 to some sort of other charity. it is as close to an empty gesture as possible.

again i don't want to hear about his so-called "generosity." the dude is GREEDY

Making a donation to your school is not an act of charity? Good for Melo buying his own personal gym in central NY. Must be tough keeping the students out of it though.

I just can't fathom how you can cite someone donating hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then complain about them being greedy. Hopefully you're donating more than 1.3% to charity while pointing fingers (don't bother answering that - it's your personal business, much like Melo's).

A lot more good posters have retreated because of the constant negative BS from people that barely watch the games. Remember HARDCORE, Marv, vdesai? fishmike is one of the few from the original group that is still posting regularly. Yes, the forum lost some that were pissed because we traded for Melo but lot more slowed down on posting because they would get attacked anytime they said something nice about the Knicks.

I see. There's really nothing nice to be said about the Knicks but hopefully Phil Jackson changes that

the biggest turn off for those guys was the lack of interesting anything on the board. I mean Islesfan was a funny dude. Insufferable but funny. Guys brought comedy and personality. Now its just about hee-hawing until you win an arguement and derail every thread into a how Melo's all star appearances and all NBA votes are a sham.

After last year this team has been unwatchable. Until now

The sad thing was that Islesfan was right most of the time.

TFKs building pipebombs with Melo's trading cards taped to them

I'd actually like to know how much / where DK donates his money to since he is on a mindreading campaign against Melo....making negative claims about Melo's psyche, fiscal responsibility, charitable contributions and ego etc. Basically performing an off the court character assassination on guy with stuff that can not be proven. It's very applicable to find out just how perfect DK is in this respect, since the things he posts shows how intolerant he appears to be of everyone else's flaws.

I believe it works both ways. "Letting it go" is not about being right or wrong or people telling other people how they should think. It is about realizing that a point has been presented, discussed, disseminated, debated and argued so many times already, and that the other side is just not going to change the way they think. A forum is also a community. When discussion gets too repetitive or goes too far, the sense of community becomes lost and posters get aggravated by the imbalance.

That's why I said they should choose to keep arguing or let the Melo stuff go because it's not going anywhere. If they can't appreciate anything from what you write than splh use the ignore feature. I won't because I like some of the points made. This should not be an issue

Like I said... google "TKF I hate Melo" and just laugh at the massive trail of various sports forums that come up.

Nobody is demanding ANYONE like Melo. Nobody cares. People tire of the same stupid comments over and over. They are in literally every thread. And when people cant see the genious then the condescending comments start.

Its that acceptable on a Knick forum then so should making fun of those same posts. Hee haw.

try to read posts more carefully please. you are in such a hurry to argue because you are on tilt. i don't hurl insults or attack OTHER POSTERS ON THIS FORUM. so far as saving my contempt for carmelo anthony, he is not posting here with me. when he does i will show him the same civility i show everyone else here.
