I like melo I think he’s not a bad guy he dose a lot off the court, but as a player F U C K melo.

The only era that sucked more then the melo era was the Isiah era, at least outta all of this we got Porzingis, and one good year .

Good bye melo smell ya later you stunk the life out of this team.

Forgot to mention how he Wasted all the talent we surrounded him with.

So now that we got rid of the reason we sucked, who do you think we will play in the finals this year?

Yea talent
Amar’e he couldn’t play with
Linsanty took away his spotlight
He couldn’t win with rose,Noah,KP,lee

But it was the coach
It was the system
It was the players/talent

It was never MELO

Who did lebron take to the chip in his first showdown before moving to miami

The 2006-07 Cleveland Cavs had way less talent then most of Melos Knick teams... melo is a big looser who doesn’t make his teammates better he makes them worse.

If we switched melo out with lebron and lebron had

Chandler
Amare
Lebron
Fields
Billips

The one hole was fields but that wouldn’t have stopped lebron from winning a chip with that team

He would have won a chip

Regardless ISO ball is finally dead again bye bye melo smell ya later

I wish him well buy I’m not going to hold my breath that he has success in okc

Chances are he will ruin the team chemistry there to by holding on the the ball forever and chucking up bad shots... remember old melo dose not take it to the hoop like young melo did he just settles for jump shots.... when asked if he would be ok with coming off the bench he laughed at his interview today... if i were him I wouldn’t laugh with his awful defense and iso ball its probably where he is headed

You are wasting your time, the trolls are pissed. It's never Melo's fault. Reading this thread is fun, the three or four of them are flailing their arms and grasping at straws to legitimize the Incredible Sulk as the greatest Knick of all time. Poor misunderstood Melo.

True, and we have to thank the nyc media for portraying melo as a star the whole time , we would have never gotten kanter if people realized melo is a washed up borderline all star. A glorified Rudy gay. With terrible advanced stats, again a chemistry killer.

Love melo the person, but again f u c k melo the player.

There is a lot of revisionist stuff here. During Linsanity and post Linsanity Melo and Lin only played 17 games together. Lin sat out of the playoffs and USA basketball because he was going to be a free agent. Not sure how Melo got Lin the poison pill deal but if you can explain it pease do.
In regards to Amare the Knicks got 2/3 of a season of prime Amare. Melo wasn't around for most of that time. Amare played under 700 minutes in the 54 win season. Also, wtf is up with he couldn't win with Rose, Noah and Lee. Last season was a disaster as was the entire Phil era.

Talk about revisionist, how about Lin sat out cause he was injured?

If I remember correctly, he said he was at 80% at playoffs time

He was good to go for the USA practice team but he turned it down. Wonder why....

Love melo the person, but again f u c k melo the player.

People keep referencing this "chemistry killer" thing, yet just about all of his teammates (both Denver and Knicks) speak glowingly about him. Mike Woodson loved the guy. In a 15 year career you can point out three people he had issues with: George Karl, MDA, and a mediocre player (Lin). But that makes him a "chemistry killer?"

The Knicks were playing good ball under MDA for that stretch. Melo quit on him. I was not a fan of that. I showered Melo with praise the following year as he backed it up with what was probably a career year. After that? Back to holding the ball, apathy on defense and combine that with a less talented supporting cast and you get some years of bad basketball.

This thread is loaded with the spoutings of posters emotional investment in this player, positive and negative. He was a hell of a scorer. He could light it up any time and often he did. Overall he was a 2nd tier star, continued his pattern of stinking in the playoffs and didnt get much help in terms of supporting cast. He's the star, and he's going to take blame. Thats how it works for stars and QBs.

End of the day it wasnt that memorable. Winning big leaves a lasting impression. We won a playoff series. In a few years nobody is going to care about anything he did or didnt do here. Time to move on.
