The Knicks are in a lose lose situation right now. We trade Melo, we'll get nothing in return. If Phil Jackson stays on course, we'll never get better. If Phil Jackson leaves in 2017, we get Isiah.

All of this is just bad.

Our new hope is to eventually just build through the draft and become one of THOSE teams. Oh boy.

Why would we get nothing in return for a Melo trade? He's playing great with at least 2 years on his contract guaranteed. The issue is who he would waive the NTC to go and play for. As long as he gives list of a few teams the Knicks can get a bid war starting.

Also yeah Losing sucks but we've been losing anyway.

It's just the reality of having 1 star player doesn't win games like they used to.
Lebron's team is loaded with stars, and they will be watching the championship game just like us.

We are now in the Steph Curry era.....Similar to being in the Jordan era.
It only gets harder from this point forward, as long as GS and the Spurs are relevant.

That's another reason Why I feel the Knicks should go full rebuild mode. They already got a young stud, let these other teams age and start drafting guys to make a run in the future.

Probably the most sensible post in this whole thread.

I don't understand why people are scared to go the rebuild route. "OH NOES! WE GONNNAZ ENZ UP LIKE DA SIXAZ!!!" That's the most stupid shyt I've ever heard. WE AIN'T WINNING SHYT EITHER WHILE MELO'S A KNICK. Wake up people. Forget about the next 2 or 3 seasons, we have to built something more substantial, and that requires stud talent through the draft. We seriously need to get lucky and tank the 2016-2017 season to get a top 5 lottery pick in the 2017 draft to pair with KP, so we have the framework for a truly competitive future. Then you can sprinkle in free agent acquisitions once you have your building blocks, not before!!!

Patrick Ewing
Latrel Sprewell
Marcus Camby
Allan Houston
Stephon Marbury
Jamal Crawford
David Lee
Amar'e Stoudemire

and now

Carmelo Anthony

and soon

Kristaps Porzingis

A list of the Knicks best players who are blamed for the organization being absolutely terrible and rudderless since James Dolan took over.

Keep up the good work, Chuck Buck

I don't think any of the other names on the list showed up their coach by sitting out of the huddle.

Good effort though crzy!

At least Spree didn't choke Van Gundy while in a Knicks uni! Of course we all remember when he broke huddle yelling "LET'S PLAY THE FUCKING GAME" before Woodson was done calling the play.

No matter how much of a shythead the coach is, you don't disrespect him like that. First George Karl, then D'Antoni, then Woodson, then Fisher, now Rambis

Gots to give it to Melo, at least his disrespect is consistent through the years!

Exactly, just build up slow and keep cap space available for a trade. We're too far behind teams in their prime to make a legit run at it. 2017 is suppose to be a beast draft. The Knicks should tank to get a young prospect from that draft even if Melo is here.

My best case scenario the Knicks trade Melo for mostly picks, use their cap space to overpay some RFA with high potential (Bazemore, H. Barnes), and still tank next year to get a high place pick. It would be similar to the Detroit rebuild but with the Knicks having more picks to show for their trouble.

This guy, he gets it.

Nah... it's this guy who gets "it":

Knicks rebuilding while Fish is knocking it down!

and by the way, maybe he just has to poop? I just pooped myself.

The crack staff is busy coming up with stuff to justify their terrible existence with Melo. I have unequivocal proof that "Melo Haters: are not good team fans:

As well as some historical data on the subject: Note the Brown posts:

Don't forget, we have a young Scola Willy coming over next year.....So eventhough we don't have a draft pick.......Phil was able to obtain two young pieces in Scola Willy and Wroten. This gives us players who will fill up the roster, without breaking the bank. Gives us flexibility to add a FA that fits with KP, and then a draft pick the following year. Meanwhile, a Melo trade for picks sounds like a Boston move, which is why they are now a solid team and 1 superstar away from making real noise.

+1. Melo trade would be a nice reboot for us. I like him, but his window will close before we're close to relevance.

Better for both to move on at this point. The photo looks like Melo is nearing acceptance of this fact.
