![]() Papabear Says
Finally Martin had enough of TKF just hatin on Melo when the subject matter was rebuilding around Melo. To rebuild we need not a good but a great point guard and a pure shooting guard not like Shump who had 4 points in the last 2 games. I really believe we should take drug testing to the next level in the NBA. And that means drug enhancements that make you play better. Papabear

![]() To rebuild around Melo, we need new medical technology. First and most important, Melo needs a brain transplant.
Second, we need an actual leader/a real alpha dog. Denver advanced to the 3rd round when Chauncey Billups was running the show. There are not that many players like that floating around. Rose is not the answer.

![]() Melo is one of the most bring players in NBA.
He does the same things over and over again. Even if he is on it is boring to watch his ISO and endless shooting with no reason but show up his own skills. You cannot build a team around one-dimensional aging shooting star. Melo can compliment some really good players as he did in Olympics. Then this team can win and make him finally a winner on NBA level too. For the sake of the Knicks and for the sake of Melo he should go kick stones somewhere else. I hope that even Dolan can finally get that Malo entertainment value is limited. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet

Well if he does that then we will know that he has no interest in winning a championship just the money he wants. Well I don't think so. I think that he really wants to win in New York and he will take less money for another star. Papabear

![]() Papabear wrote:Papabear Says So basically we need team of all-stars to win with Melo....just sell high and get rid of him then since that aint happening. I understand some folks dont look around the league, but you certainly can have a player like Shump as your shooting guard, but you have to define his role, none of this run the point nonsense....just defend and hit the three...like OKC does with Thabo Ironically one of the main reasons why the Knicks had their 5 game win streak is due to the player you DONT want, go figure. And what does drug testing have to do with a rebuild around Melo thread? Sounds like the same derailing you just criticized. |

![]() Objectively- Melo is a really good player. Is he good enough to build around. Absolutely!
However, not at his current age! Denver already tried this- and they wisely moved on. At his current age, and minutes already player & at his likely salary, it is foolish to try to build around Melo. Unless of course Lebron comes here- but then you wouldn't be building around Melo.
But that will be luck, and NOT building around Melo. Does anyone really think Melo will be able to sustain his performance for the next 3 years, beyond this season? Be honest with yourselves. Melo already has played a ton of minutes - hard minutes. He's not cut like Lebron. Maybe his dough-boy body type will hold up. Maybe. But be honest and objective. I hope Steve Mills is and will be. |
