Ive been on this forum for a while and this Forum is starting to change. For me it's not for the best. Seems every thread wound up being a I hate Melo thread. It's getting worst every day. I started looking at other forums and view what they post. I don't post there. I have tickets for 2 more games this season and I plan to enjoy myself. I don't mind a good debate about the Knicks but when sickos post crazy things over and over about one player. And go to other threads and do the same thing and no one is doing anything about it I start to question the motives of the forum. Maybe I don't belong here because the hate goes beyond the game of basketball. Over and over again and again. We now have a new poster well not new but all of a sudden here he is back again being a poster boy for you know who. This personal hate of Melo needs to be address. I think everyone knows what I'm talking about. I come here for enjoyment but lately every damn thread wounds up being about how much they hate Melo. Melo will be the face of the Knicks for a long long time. I notice that some of the fair minded posters are posting less. Maybe it's time to move on and let them others take over the forum. Maybe! only time will tell.

We've only got another 2 months of it to put up with- the Melo either gets traded or re-signs with us long term (at which point I think the melo haters will quit the boards)

I don't have a problem with people critiquing Melo, but I get a bit bored when it's the same point over and over and over again- it's like being stuck in a rut. At some point you have to accept you've made your case, and move on to another subject

Keep reading; it's been four years. They aren't moving on.

I think that's the point of the thread.

Feat the Fbucks!

Dont sweat it good sir.. Knicks are playing inspired ball, Melo just won player of the week and Phil Jackson is going to run the Knicks. Its an interesting time. Enjoy. I am

Jesus Christ dude, the guy didn't even post in the thread and you are referencing him. You take shots at him in your signature? Obsess much?

Totally! few things weight heavier on my mind. Right now Im searching other forums all over the world to ensure everyone knows the truth. This is my crusade. My life finally has purpose. Boobies alone were not enough.

Is it not aprospos that the person who leads the charge against Melo was tossed from a forum he was once a mod of because he just couldnt help himself? I thought folks would appreciate the context when they read his posts. If it makes you uncomfortable I can remove it...

I actually think its highlarious, but who wants hurt feelings...

I'll somehow find a way to soldier on if you don't change your signature.

I agree papabear, way to much hate on this forum melo is awesome he defiantly is not the problem! Those who think that need to check themselves. Same with the people who think thjr isn't going to be great. People need to stop drinking so much hateraid. This is our team, and I really don't care who is on it I just want us to be competitive.. No matter who is on our team I'll always bleed orange and blue!

I guess the people who are not sold that THJR will be great are haters?

Can I have what he's having?

We've only got another 2 months of it to put up with- the Melo either gets traded or re-signs with us long term (at which point I think the melo haters will quit the boards)

I don't have a problem with people critiquing Melo, but I get a bit bored when it's the same point over and over and over again- it's like being stuck in a rut. At some point you have to accept you've made your case, and move on to another subject

i for one won't stick around if he is resigned to such a high salary that it leaves the knicks no chance to acquire players who will put him in his place. believe it or not melo will be a good player at the right price, which is around 12-13 million per year. but every dollar above 13 million makes him worse and worse. it's always a balance of price versus value. he didn't understand that and of course he had the perfect accomplice in dolan.

that's why phil jackson being here is so important, assuming he has complete autonomy. he is a smart and persuasive man and he has 13 reasons for people to back that up.

sorry if critiquing a player is boring but you see his game has not evolved in areas that are required to win, and his arrival created so much turmoil that the knicks could never get the right players in place to achieve anything substantial.

Didn't you say you were leaving over at realgm if the melo trade went through? My understanding was you stayed until they didn't allow you to be post there any longer.

yeah my love for the knicks outstrips my hatred for carmelo anthony. the good folks at realgm don't understand such nuances-- do you? as i said-- the reason i no longer posted there was because a global mod-- a gaulieiter with a username of "moocow"-- didn't take kindly to the suggestion that he remove carmelo anthony's nuts from his mouth. so it was personal not philosophical. besides that he was one of the most ignorant basketball posters i have ever encountered in a position of authority. everything he said was wrong. everything he predicted was wrong. you can look it up. he was quite stupid really. he occupied that dangerous territory of middling intellect and power, probably around 118-124 IQ i reckon.

my iq is a good deal higher.

anyhoo some people around here like the taste of melo's nuts. i am pretty sure you are not one of them so what is your problem with what i post?

Would you be opposed to resigning Melo if ONLY 2015's salary is structured around that rate but BUMPS up every possible other year?
So basically he would give the Knick's the opportunity to grab as much talent with 2015 UFA's possible

That was my plan but yellow pointed out that you can only increase salary by 7% year to year
