it would be so much more enjoyable to talk about actually rebuilding with a real plan, around fresh talent, good character guys with talent, who want to be here with no other agendas... no TV shows for their wives, etc....I mean lets move the topic away from this loser.. time to rebuild the right way. let carmelo take JR smith and kenyon martin with him to wherever he wants to go.... add woody on that sinking ship as well..



A non- realistic plan that included Lin, right??..You may not like it but Melo will be resigned...

why are we discussing LIN? listen if you want to come at me this way, I will pull your skirt down, don't let me go back and pull some of your classic homer post.. I would cool down if I were you.. pick your troubles else where bro....

U need some growth..

I have your growth..


I doubt that very much..U can bury your head in the sand and continue to sulk that your favorite players aren't on the team...Melo will be a Knick for a long time...U can continue to whine like a two year old and post unrealistic scenarios tho, free country...

and the knicks will never win... so I don't want to hear any complaints from you.... you are team melo for life.. rofl..

U remind me of JR Smith..Ur favorite/s are on not on the team so u whine and moan and be disruptive when the opportunity presents itself..

nah, this team sucks, which is why i am upset.. if this team were good, had a real franchise player, quality player, leaders.. I would be fine, regardless if they were my favorite.. actually they would be my favorite as I favor players with those qualities..

instead we have a bunch of clowns, posers, losers, and fools.... so yea, I am pissed.....

you remind me of carmelo.. don't care if you lose, as long as you get what you want... as long as you get to watch carmelo go 4-23, you are just fine, because he did score 26 points, in a blowout loss.. but hey he did i mention he scored 26? LOL

Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser............... TKF

Well we played well last year and you belly ached all year...Here is what u don't understand about me, I'm a realist and know Melo will be here and would like to see scenarios we could build around him to put us in a good situation...I don't care who is in a Knick uniform as long as we are winning...I didn't give two ****s about Melo until he got here..I root for the uniform unlike you...I remember you posted a few weeks ago there are people here who root for Melo more than the team...That's funny because I rooted for the team not matter who is in uniform..I always root for the Knicks even with scrubs like Lin are running the show..Can u say the same???..Who is really rooting for players and who really roots for the team...Bro you root for the team to lose, think about that...Then you are coming at me for liking players on the team..

Building around Melo and still holding on to the future is still a real possibility. They need to decide on the coach. If it's woodson they need to get him his players. If they want another coach they have to get the guy they want here now. They need to do things now not 2015


Agree. Melo isn't an easily replaceable talent. But this team doesn't have it. Time to move on. First two guys to move in my opinion would be Tyson and shump.

If we lost melo, it might not be nearly as hard as you think to build the roster back up to a .400 team

tkf, if you don't want to participate in thread, please move on.

wait so you mod me, after I was actually contributing to this thread. I actually made an offer to discuss something that everyone could participate in.. outside of the same old. keep carmelo..

holfresh is the one who came at me, and it had nothing to do with this thread.. why isn't he being modded?

no tkf, you really don't have anything to contribute to this thread. It's about rebuilding around Melo and you have made it abundantly clear in too many threads that you don't want to have anything to do with Melo.

We get it, you hate the Knicks with Melo on the team, but there is no need to drag every thread into "I hate Melo".

Move on please.

you aren't a realist, not even close. you're closer to a nihilist.

a realist would realize that dolan is a LOSER and attracts LOSERS and supports LOSERS. no use in denying history and his track record... and melo's.

you are resigned to the fact that dolan is the owner and that you believe that melo will be signed for max money. this is an utterly hopeless cause for someone who wants to see titles in msg. oh i forgot... for you basketball is entertainment and a business. winning is really rather secondary-- even meaningless, right? well that's just more nihilism.

alternatively, there was a ship called the titanic and i recall being told that the string quartet continued playing as the ship [be] sinkin'.

you remind me very much of one of these musicians.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

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.

We won't be able to get that when Melo alone takes up half the cap and we have no picks. And having that alone won't work if we don't have good front-court players too.

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.

You are assuming that Melo will take all of the money he can get. 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.

I think he would be crazy not to take all of the money unless he has another star or two in his pocket like the three sisters in Miami. Also, if he is just about winning he might leave. The Knicks seemed to be headed in the right direction and then fired their gm and kept Chris. Things have been crazy since. The guy is the hardest working man in the nba and one of the most talented.

he's talented but dumb. he has poor shot selection and is often out of control taking stupid shots or committing offensive fouls.

hardworking? depends. working hard on defense is almost never dumb.

working hard to score points on offense is almost always dumb.

he is just too dumb and lazy to win as the main guy so there is absolutely no point in building around him. absolutely ludicrous.

Thread is about building around Melo not making it an anti melo thread. Mod has already weighed in on it.
no tkf, you really don't have anything to contribute to this thread. It's about rebuilding around Melo and you have made it abundantly clear in too many threads that you don't want to have anything to do with Melo.

We get it, you hate the Knicks with Melo on the team, but there is no need to drag every thread into "I hate Melo".

Move on please

To rebuild we need not a good but a great point guard and a pure shooting guard.

We won't be able to get that when Melo alone takes up half the cap and we have no picks. And having that alone won't work if we don't have good front-court players too.

You are assuming that Melo will take all of the money he can get. 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.

I think he would be crazy not to take all of the money unless he has another star or two in his pocket like the three sisters in Miami. Also, if he is just about winning he might leave. The Knicks seemed to be headed in the right direction and then fired their gm and kept Chris. Things have been crazy since. The guy is the hardest working man in the nba and one of the most talented.

he's talented but dumb. he has poor shot selection and is often out of control taking stupid shots or committing offensive fouls.

hardworking? depends. working hard on defense is almost never dumb.

working hard to score points on offense is almost always dumb.

he is just too dumb and lazy to win as the main guy so there is absolutely no point in building around him. absolutely ludicrous.

this thread is about building around melo and i gave reasons why you must not build around melo. nothing personal to him but as a player he is both dumb and lazy, as i said in the first place. and, off topic, he clearly is rather conceited too, i am sure you would agree.

to me building around melo is anti-knick.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Havent we rebuilt around Melo already?

Why exactly would first place Toronto sell their starting PG that ship passed

We have little to rebuild around Melo we made a big commitment to Bargnani you know thats that. Jim Dolan said this is a championship team--a guy like that does not admit mistake EVER. He will have the company line as injuries and well be back next year or 7-8th seed this year or whatever. This is a bad team for a dozen years sans 1--get ready for the next decade.

Simply put, NO..We need to put the pieces in place and clear the dead weight for day Amare's contract expires...Lowry isn't staying in Toronto unless they pay him a fortune...Toronto will lose him for nothing...We didn't make any commitment to Bargs that goes beyond Amare's deal, so thats no issue...Dolan will resign Melo...We have a couple of years to find pieces that fit around him and the next guy...


Bargs will be gone when the Knicks have to fork over the three draft picks used to acquire him.

So in actually we've committed to Bargnani all the way to 2018......smh.

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.


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.


Between his cap it, and the lack of draft picks available here in the short term, there is just no way to add the kind of talent that any player (perhaps short of a Lebron/Duncan/MJ type player) needs.


The only chance we have to build around Melo is to absolutely tank next season when we own our own pick and land the top pick and score a franchise type talent.

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.

Rebuilding around Melo...
