We need to stop with the Melo hate and let Phil do his thing with Melo and this team.

Well you are beign ridiculous. There are a2-3 melo haters on here. the rest of teh people Simply would have preferred he take less. So its not hate in fact its support for him and the team

You seem to pile on every time someone trashes melo but qualify it with a, don't get me wrong... Comparing Duncan taking less at the end of his career versus a guy in his prime isn't fair or accurate. What was Duncan making at age 30 in a state without state income tax?

Sorry Crush but that simply sint the case. I have defended Melo plenty fo times. i have called out a few people who just bash melo. I have said 100 times im happy to have him bcak and have no problem with the contract but i personally would have preferred him take 100-110 million because they would have been a tremednous sacrifice from him. Im sorry that i havent complimented him to the moon like soem ahve but taht doesnt mean i dislike teh guy not even close

Well he wasn't and shouldn't take Gordon Hayward money or Parsons money. Phil seems happy with the deal. I don't think he expected a 30 year old to take a 12 million dollar pay cut so that he could trump Duncan by beating him to taking a big hit for the team by 6 years. Duncan was making the big bucks through age 36. Same thing as Dirk. Those guys also play in Texas where there isn't a state income tax. Reports are Ariza had the same deal in Washington as Houston and wanted to go back to the Wiz but the tax difference was significant enough that it played a role in his decision.

Again its not that big of deal so case closed

Yeah we should make a statue. Even though im a diehard Knick fan but i really respect a guy like Tim Duncan. He is probably one of the best players i have ever seen besides jordan/lebron and the guy continues to take less. No wonder San Antonio wins for 20 years

Cool. Can we addend this then and agree that Duncan got paid a ton of money and then adjusted after he turned 36? Also, Spurs are a great organization but they hit the jackpot having two hof big men for the past 20+ years on their team.

Well first of all it had nothign to do with melo. I was just talking about Duncan on his own. I guess youa re trying to come to melo's defense but there is no need because i was just talking about Duncan. Secondly i would never comapre the two because lets face it Duncan is teh better player in his prime and a hall of famer

Duncan made over 21 mil when he was 36 in a tax free state. The guy is great but to suggest that another player should cut 6 years of max earning time off of their career to emulate a guy that did it at 36, not 30 doesn't make sense to me. 'The guy continues to take less' is far from accurate. He took less after he turned 36.

I NEVER said Melo should emulate Duncan. I never said Duncan took less when he was melo's age. I know its easy to misinterpret over the computer so i'll try and explain it as simply as possible. I simply said melo taking 5 years 110 million would be fair on both sides. I just brought up duncan for the hell of it. I never said he should do whta duncan did. You just got confused it happns i do it too

and the guy continues to take less. No wonder San Antonio wins for 20 years

I guess I mistook your post about erecting a statue of Melo for taking 7 mil less as sarcasm. Following that you referenced Duncan and said this,

We don't have much or a choice. Except If it blows up in our face again we can switch allegiance

Brought this up like 100,000 this past season alone. When it's all about one player other players never get a chance to develop. You can land the number 1 pick in the draft it won't matter. If Tim Duncan was a rookie on the Knicks last year he would've never become Tim Duncan

If Tim Duncan was a rookie on the knicks last year we probably would have won 50 fewer games the prior year. That woulda sucked.

Go look up his salary history. Taking less didn't happen until he was 35

dont bother fish, you and i have said this multiple times each and people just ignore it. yeah, duncan took less, only after he made 200million..

you're misrepresenting reality, aka lying.

duncan had won three titles and when he was 26 he earned 12 million dollars the year he won his first of three finals mvps.

again, by the time he earned 22 million in a season he had already won 3 titles and had earned 3 finals mvps. he led his teams to those titles.

meantime your defense of this greedy, me-first never was is truly moronic and pathetic.

what has carmelo done to actually earn the right to receive almost the entire maximum?

NOTHING

NOTHING

Ask Phil Jackson. He wouldn't entertain a sign and trade with the bulls and gave Melo the contract that he signed.

After watching McDermott tonight in Summer League action both Phil and Nuggets may have regret, although Harris may be a gem.

Hoping C-Early can be one himself

I think Phil could have exercised due diligence and entertained S&T offers, to peak Anthony's value. What would the harm be knowing Max contract was always the Trump Card?
