I also don't think Melo is a system player or will even try to fit into one since he openly refused to play for D'Antoni.

Not trying to get off topic but melo resigning would indicate he is willing to play in a system. Also, when did Melo openly refuse to play for Dantoni?

You are right. He quit on the team is what I should have said. He may be willing which I will believe when he actually takes less rather than talk about it. I still don't think he can play well in a system.

mark jackson would be the perfect coach for melo. melo should go to wherever mark jackson ends up. it'd be a perfect fit. no real system or plan, just let the favorite player improvise and make stuff happen, like with curry in golden state, apparently. no need to hold serious practices either. melo is just that talented, being a top 5 player in this league and what not. and ewing, patrick ewing should be the low-post, footwork, recognize the double team and pass out of the double team coach for melo. that's the ticket. and wherever that paradise is melo should be getting max money. talk about dynasty.

Syracuse and the Olympics don't count?

I too sense a little too much ex knick nostalgia and think oh mayo at point guard is a downgrade from prigs.

Felton and JR alone equals Thornton's contract. That deal would work. If Robinson and Prigioni are included in the deal to Houston, that would work once Asik and Lin are officially slated to earn $15 million apiece.

Why would Mayo be a downgrade at PG?

Ok. If this is fantasy basketball or a yahoo league then yes. Possible. Real life. Not a shot. Sorry man. I like your posts too, but maybe try to keep it simple.

Trade chandler, Felton and maybe jr. Or only s&t melo.

Your type of overhaul only works in video games. And maybe not even there.
