Man who the heck cares what he's saying really? This is a very important season. It's the start of a new way of doing things and we need Melo to be at his best playing in this style cuz if he does, not only do we win more games but a possible FA will see this as a good spot to come and play. Everyone is gonna be watching to see how Melo adjusts to this style of play. In a month or so we won't talking about what Melo said during Training Camp.

And just as sad, there are a lot of Knick fans who claim to be unbiased when it comes to Melo but clearly have an agenda against him. This agenda is usually due to a certain player that they wish was still here.

Wanted desperately to rid the Knicks of Jeremy Lin ( how dare that young player do crazy horse **** like show leadership and play team ball! He's making the team better, I better call Leon Rose to make sure we get this crazy mother ****er off the roster !) Done.

I noticed that this part of your checklist got a little more attention than the others.

Well said. Also just wondering what players willing to sign for mini mid level exception that tge Knicks have had to offer were chased away by Melo.

Melo is the last player you would look to for insightful comments. He has just enough brains to use his great talent to be a stud offensive player and a pretty good boarder (because he loves to follow his own shots ), but that is about it.

He never was a leader and he has always been into it for the money, so what's new? He gave the Knicks a whopping 4% discount on the Max after saying he would help out with the salary cap. He has always been a double talker. And hearing him talk lately about how he is an underrated superstar just shows he has not turned over a new leaf and he will always be a prima donna a few fries short of a big mac combo.

That's Melo, take it or leave it, but he is not going to change now. He needs smart teammates to play with more than other stars and we don't have that many A students on this squad, so it is going to be an up and down year and Melo will just have to grin and bear it. He got paid.
