Melo wasn't going to FA without a deal, especially with an uncertain cba, and this is beating a dead horse.

Nalod agree's that Melo did what was best for him, I think.
But we made a horrible decision to trade for Melo, with all do respect, than just signing a FA with the cap space in the summer.
Melo did not fit a "need" that many suggest, while not paying the right price....
We can only blame ourselves or Dolan, is it our KNicks or his?

Melo was a Net or a Knick. He wasn't going to become a free agent with the lockout and new cba pending. He wasn't going to be a free agent in December of 2011 after the cba was worked out. He would have been a net.

so let it be, HE DID NOT FILL A NEED. Without Melo, we probably would have been in Cp3/Deron sweepstakes, possible DH as well.

The need was to pair Amare with the only player available at the time, so he doesn't break down and become useless.

It happened anway, but it certainly would have happened if Gallo who's always injured, and chandler overseas were here.

We gave up too much in the trade, while paying 2 max contracts that have holes to their games.
We should have been able to at least keep Chandler, 1 2nd round pick from GS this year, and kept Felton instead of Billups.

Regardless, FA last summer, was where we should have waited for, because we really did not improve in my opinion.
Instead we traded 4 starters, multiple picks, and took back bad contracts in Billups/Balkman that are still haunting our ability to improve our roster today.
