Melo will be fine. Once the season starts and he sees that this team is a better support system around him he'll relax and be happy. Phil has built a solid team that can support a top player, no matter who it is. Melo should begin to recognize that in Training Camp and Pre Season.

Phil was asked if Melo will have to do more as a scorer this year and he responded by saying no it's a team game...This is the article that resulted:

Phil Jackson and Carmelo Anthony haven't talked since free agency began, and team president isn't concerned if Knicks’ star is upset with latest moves

LAS VEGAS – Carmelo Anthony is a franchise player in name only. Phil Jackson revealed on Monday that he hasn’t spoken with the Knicks superstar since the start of free agency and added that he isn’t concerned if Anthony is upset over the direction of the club.

“Well, you know, we’re a team sport,” Jackson said. “When we’re putting a team together that’s our first priority; how do we make a team that works together? That’s the important aspect. How this all comes together is still a mystery for us. We’ve got five months to kinda get into it here.

“Obviously Carmelo is a guy that is a premier player, we understand that. But it’s a team game. And it has to fit together.”



It's time to sharpen up Knick fans, you are being played...

being played, how? melo got all that money and a no-trade. now he has to sack up and be a good employee for the good of the knicks. you should be applauding these developments. what's your problem? the plan is no longer catering to the primadonna?

How many user names do you have, as mentioned by other poster. Is this true? Just to agree with uourself? Pathetic.

Let the money go brah. He is one of the best scorers is the league. Won the scoring title remember. Won 54 games with Woodson iso offense with him as #1. Still #1 on the team and umm yes the team does cater to him as Phil has put together a team strictly with in mind. So he deserves all the money he gets. As for effort, played on bum knee on a horrible team where most would of sat. He is our best player so better start rooting for him unless you want to become a Net fan. As for the young talent they looked great in Vegas. If the new cast outperforms last years, with Melo we will have a great year.

what does this gibberish mean, really?

He(Melo) basically is saying he doesn't need to air his displeasure over the Porzingis pick and Hardaway trade, it should be common knowledge.

I thought DestiNY The Future is Now was positive no?

No. I think that's an expansion pack for PS4 game Destiny.

Holfresh, you gotta stop rooting for the jersey names and start rooting for the "jersey".

It took me a few years to separate myself from this thought process, and now I can see team sports clearly. I pretty invented the "Youtube Melo" thread!

Separate yourself from the player, and root for the team and I think you'll have a better go of it.

ChuckNBuck you have got to start using your brains...You are being played like most...Look at the most recent article by Isola yesterday that I refused to post because of it's obvious attempts...I saw the Phil Jackson interview..It was completely written differently to be provocative...To reach gullible Knick fans..It's working...

Holfresh, stop being so defensive about any Melo criticism, it's unbecoming of you.

Love the Knicks and team and whoever puts team before themselves, not the "player". Detach yourself. You'll see it's better this way.

I tired of the bullshiit...You are being played..You are a victim..No shame in that...

It's okay Holfresh, I admit I was a Melo groupie before. Posted dozens of Youtube videos on his behalf on this site alone.

I've seen the light...this guy is not a team player. Everything negative or derogatory said or quoted about him is true, and I accept that I was wrong for believing him to be something that he wasn't.

He's a poor man's Allen Iverson in a 6'8 puffy body. Ain't nothing wrong with that, both will probably enter the hall due to sheer buckets.

That said, at least AI was able to drag the Eric Snow/Aaron McKie/George Lynch/Mt. Mutombo sad sack of a team to the NBA Finals at least once in his career. No such case for Melo.

Root for the team, root for the rookies, root for the new additions like RoLo, O'Quinn, Afflalo who all want to play and win here. Don't root for the guy that openly trashed our draft pick and the trade of his fellow chucker THJR.

So root for everyone on the team except it's best player? Oh okay..ots all about the team huh?

You answered your own question, Melo isn't a team player.

You root for a whole team not part of it. You must be a Nets fan, low IQ proves it.

You got me, I root for the Nets.
