Of course it begins and ends with Melo. All season long we have heard this blathering about how it is his team and he is the best player, an MVP candidate, one of the true nba elite blah blah blah. You know the team that was assembled around him? The team with no secondary player and no depth, no youth, and-- oh yeah-- no leadership? Well guess what the catalyst was for the state of the team as presently constructed?
He got paid to bring a title at a HUGE cost to the Knicks, the clock is ticking, the ship is taking on water. If the Knicks continue to underachieve and fail to meet the goals expected of them it will ALL rightfully fall on Carmelo.
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%
