Usually the all-star game is about entertaining the fans but the all-nba teams are about honoring the best players at each position. I can't see how they could put Durant or James at center.

Not trying to be a homer but if Melo knocks Durant out, it would be no crime. Melo has had an amazing season and it should also be noted. But same goes for Durant as if he is the one to make the team, who would complain?


Papabear Says

Personally I really don't care. This is just another blog discussion to find a way to just bad mouth and knock Melo. Why don't you just knock it. Not talking about you Knicksfan


Ron Ron says

Lebron and Durant deserves NBA 1st team over ALL FORWARDS and this I am bad mouthing Melo?
Are you serious?
Melo has had a very good year but let's not kid ourselves, he is nowhere as complete of a player in STAT's or W's when compared to Lebron/Durant...

Papabear Says

Then why don't you just sit down and put on your Lebron hat and Durant hat and get some honey Nut cheerios and root for them. But as for me I'm going with Melo 1st team or 2nd team I don't care and the New York Knicks all the way!

Just because some of us believe that Lebron and Durant are better than Melo doesn't mean we hate Melo, are rooting against him and the Knicks, or are rooting for Lebron and Durant. And I haven't really seen anyone saying that Melo doesn't deserve 2nd team All-NBA just that he's not 1st team.


Papabear Says

Tell me? How many votes do you have for 1st or 2nd team?? It's just your opinion. And Personally I don't care what you think. You was wrong about the Knicks this season you was wrong about your opinions about Melo this season and you are wrong about this. Melo Melo Melo. It seems to me people are wishing he loose.

Yes and LeBron and Durant got all the calls. And by the way You really think that Durant is taking his team all the way and winning a championship??

There is no dispute at all with this and it should not need a reasoning if you follow the NBA at all

Enough said. You just exposed yourself. Ha I'm a Knicks fan and Melo is a part of it. Just sit on your ass and pull out your Lebron and Durant banner. As for me I'm Knicks all the way. As for you your just a faker but it's no crime to be a Lebron , and Durant fan. I'm just not!!!

Still want to continue with the low blows?
Do you eat Melo's, butt hole too, Papa Bear?

You are just absurd, you make NO SENSE, and you always have to take it to another level when someone does not have the same opinions as you
Just like how you swore TFK was DKTH, when a child could even tell the differences in their language and use of arguements...
Yes u actually wanted to put a wager on it and wanted Martin/Andrew to facilitate it


Notice how much you have to agree with and have in common with NYMENTALITY, and where he is now, is that the fate "REAL KNICK's" belong and go, be my guest's, choose ur own fate/road....
REAL KNICK FAN's must agree Melo belongs in the NBA #1st team over Lebron/Durant and everyone else here is FAKE and should wear Lebron and Durant hats, cause Papa Bear says...
Oh with their banner's as well LOL

SMH

You belong on a Island with NYMentally ILL

Look back at what CP3 was traded for and look what we gave up in talent/assets and *CAP SPACE that saved them 30m + 20m in taxes alone so about 50m total in money that year*

And no I am not wrong, I still believe we over payed for him and he is selfish,a attention whore, a stat whore, and diva
He wanted his money, I have no problem with this, but all he had to say was I am not signing an extension with anyone but NY in a trade
Walsh was waiting for these words but Melo is trying to build a TEAM MELO brand and did not want to hurt his image like Lebron hurt his...
We had leverage and we gave leverage up for no reason and in fact did over payed for him, when it was not needed if he would just say the words...
Look at what Lebron was traded for, Denver would not let that happen, and Nets will not trade 5 1st round picks for him or whatever was rumored without an extension


2 young players (Eric Gordon, Aminu) of which both are not even better than Gallo/Chandler
1 1st round pick (Cleveland Lottery that turned into Rivers)
How many picks can u get out of these guys and how many picks can u get out of Gallo/Chandler now, and Felton at the time?


We traded 4 starters, 3 picks, swap of 2016 pick, cap space of 50m to save Denver, and
Felton was also traded for an additional 1st round pick and Andre Miller

Is he talented, YES, he is a scorer, Yes, and Yes he is having a great year, in fact the best of his career
He deserves credit for his focus this year, with his effort, improvements, finally more trust in team mates, and the best shape he has been
He wants a ring and he wanted to reclaim the Garden from Lin, aftering being MVP chants to boo's...

Also Denver was not built to win now and we are, yet Denver has plenty of assets that teams want to trade for, while we have players that we will have trouble keeping
Also, we got very lucky with the amnesty and lock out year to get JR Smith and some other talents
This speeded up our process at least by 1 year but at the cost of amnesty to use on Amare...


In these past years after the trade, did we have more success than Denver? NO
Did Denver win more games and have an actual series? Yes

Do I think he is worth a MAX contract extension of 25m + for 5 years, NO, not with this CBA
Will he opt out for it and maximize what he can make, TIME WILL TELL...


Speaking of Olympic's, Melo played off the penetration of the team, something Dantoni wanted Melo to mix it up with, instead of mainly ISO
And he was was a TOP SCORER because of it, do we have the players that on the Knick's that could play that same way, probably not
But had he given the Knick's that leverage that we in fact had, it could closely resemble it to play with that same philosphy..
Is Lin as good as Cp3 and the talents off team USA, NO..


I am rooting for the Knick's but just because I have different opinions with the choices that the franchise made, does not make me a "FAKE" fan...
So because I have my own views, opinions/thoughts, and my own brain does not make me "FAKE" please elaborate if you want to make an arguement not name calling like 7year old

Is Melo better than Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson were, or are you not a true Knicks fan, Papa?

Yes get it off your chest I probably was a Knicks fan before you was born. I can tell by your post you just can't enjoy Melo and his team. Yes his team. he is the leader. All you showed was how miserable you are from the Lin deal to the trading for Melo. Guess what Get Over It! It's done so stop being a cry baby. Melo is here to stay. I just know how that gets under your skin. As for TKF and DK7th They are one in one maybe not the same people but the same thought process when it comes to their feelings towards Melo just like you.I don't have to discuss them anymore because I have them on Ignore button. Hey I'm having fun enjoying Melo and the New York Knicks. ARE YOU???

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

you do not get under my skin Papa Bear, you cannot even hold a conversation
I do find you annoying and humorous though

I don't believe we had to play $1.50 for one dollar in the Melo trade, in fact, we should have payed .75 cents or slightly more at best, considering we had, LEVERAGE
We gave up assets, draft picks, cap room, multiple players of good value, and had we not, we would have been in every conversation for

Deron
Cp3
D12
James Harden

at a lower price and probably would be able to have enough assets for future trades as well
But because we over payed for Anthony, we loss leverage with other teams in the league because we exposed ourselves in "MUST WIN NOW MODE"
DW loaded up on assets/picks, cleared cap room, and waited for the opportunity to pay the right price
That is the same road that Houston took and it works...

I don't "HATE" Anthony, I do dislike qualities about him as a player and person
He is having an amazing year and a great month, I give him much credit with JR Smith and Woodson for our improvements
Absolutely love Kmart, he resembles the 90's Knick's style of play, DEF, and toughness
I always try to find ways to improve the Knicks, whether with their play on the court or off the court with pick ups
If I was not a fan of the Knicks, why would I even care

You will believe what you continue to want to believe but just stop the name calling

No name calling intended. You do not know what we could have gotten Melo for.You or me was not in the room. First of all if we didn't sign him or should I say make the deal with Denver he would have gone to the Nets. Hey he wanted to come here but when money is involved you just can't tell him to take less. Would you take less on your job when you could make much more with another company doing the same thing and working less than 3 miles apart? My thing is Melo is here and that it! You called me names and I responded back. Now we both can sit back and wait till Tuesday and Root for our Knicks. Peace be with you. Not long been out of church today and I'm on good behavior.

Not trying to be a homer but if Melo knocks Durant out, it would be no crime. Melo has had an amazing season and it should also be noted. But same goes for Durant as if he is the one to make the team, who would complain?


Papabear Says

Personally I really don't care. This is just another blog discussion to find a way to just bad mouth and knock Melo. Why don't you just knock it. Not talking about you Knicksfan


Ron Ron says

Lebron and Durant deserves NBA 1st team over ALL FORWARDS and this I am bad mouthing Melo?
Are you serious?
Melo has had a very good year but let's not kid ourselves, he is nowhere as complete of a player in STAT's or W's when compared to Lebron/Durant...

Papabear Says

Then why don't you just sit down and put on your Lebron hat and Durant hat and get some honey Nut cheerios and root for them. But as for me I'm going with Melo 1st team or 2nd team I don't care and the New York Knicks all the way!

Just because some of us believe that Lebron and Durant are better than Melo doesn't mean we hate Melo, are rooting against him and the Knicks, or are rooting for Lebron and Durant. And I haven't really seen anyone saying that Melo doesn't deserve 2nd team All-NBA just that he's not 1st team.


Papabear Says

Tell me? How many votes do you have for 1st or 2nd team?? It's just your opinion. And Personally I don't care what you think. You was wrong about the Knicks this season you was wrong about your opinions about Melo this season and you are wrong about this. Melo Melo Melo. It seems to me people are wishing he loose.

What the **** are you talking about? How many votes do you or does anyone else posting here have for these awards? Then why the **** are you discussing them? And I was wrong about Melo? All I've ever said about Melo is that he's been one of my favorite players in the league going back to his rookie year and that he's an elite talent that you can build a championship level team around.


Papabear Says

Ahh Excuse me but I wasn't referring to you or speaking about you.

Well you responded to me so what was I supposed to think?

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

If I did I apologize. My bad and my mistake and I was wrong. You see when your wrong about something you have to man up and say I made a mistake. That's a lot better than some people I know. Oh by the way I'm watching the Heat and Bucks game and I feel so sorry for the Bucks. The refs are calling everything in the Heats favor. Thats a warning to Our Knicks if we make it that far.

I smell a thread lock coming.

Back on topic, sort of.
Just how low can we go?

did someone actually say Spencer Hawes? Spencer Hawes is a better center than Tyson Chandler?

Spencer Hawes: C

The long-bodied center that is as soft as marshmallow; Spencer Hawes once again failed to produce anywhere near the level required. Despite averaging 11.1 points per game, he did so averaging less than 50 percent from the field — which is poor for a 7’0’’ player. He takes too many inefficient long 2s and has trouble setting screens with any kind of force.

And that wasn't "C" for Center. And that's from a Sixers fan.
Tyson Chandler isn't better than the Sixer's back up 5? Really?

Melo hate; you're either against it, or helping to spread it around.

Next up: a listing of 40 year olds more valuable than JKidd.

When you play the same position as LeBron and Durant, you don't make the first team.

Paul
Kobe
Bron
Durant
Marc Gasol

Is the all NBA 1st team.

On merrit he should be in, because he has had a fantastic season, however James has played like a clear MVP and Durant has also been amazing.

If the 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams could be decided the way the All-star starters are (2 guards and 3 forwards instead of 2 guards, 2 forwards and 1 center) then there's absolutely no doubt Melo would be in, if that's not going to be the case then although one could argue I don't think he's getting into the 1st team as great as he has been.

I can't argue about Marc Gasol, he is better than the choice I was predicting, Roy Hibbert. Didn't think this thread would turn into a pissing contest.

The problem with Hibbert is his offense was absolutely terrible this season. I have no idea how a post players shoots 44% from the field.

Could Melo be left off of All NBA 1st team
