well melo hasnt exactly been a big attraction to free agents to be honest. Im not trying to bash him at all but its just the way it seems to be unfortunetly

Knicks haven't exactly had cap space to spend.

this past summer?
ONe big name left his team and he went to the Spurs. He also said he was considering the Knicks but didn't want to play center.
its not a bad thing to say melo doesnt attract free agents. The truth is very few players have that type of luring ability. Its not a indictment on melo
San Antonio attracted a big name free agent. What other players pulled free agents this past summer?
Again its not a diss on melo. If melo fans interpret it that way im sorry. I was actually trying to defend him by saying that its very rare for players to be able to lure other big free agents
So you don't have a name? I know I don't. But we have discussed this before. The CBA makes it extremely difficult for marquee players to pass up the extra money they would receive if they stay with their teams. In addition some destinations that don't have state income tax are also more desirable (money does matter). In addition NY has a city income tax handicapping Brooklyn and the Knicks even more.
just forgot about it i give up. Im wrong melo is great and a huge attraction
Your words. I was asking you what players were huge attractions this past offseason and got other margueee players to leave their team in free agency? I can't come up with one. Not trying to spin it back to a tired topic.
i never said it happened this past offseason. But time to end this dude
You started it with your comment about Melo not bringing in free agents. In this cba no one is bringing in the free agents that I am aware of. A marquee organization landed the one marquee free agent that left. Calling Melo out for doing something no other individual player is able to do is what I take an issue with.
i didnt call melo out. Now you are just stirring the pot. This is the end of the conversation
I was referring to this,
well melo hasnt exactly been a big attraction to free agents
. That was why I asked you to name other individual players in this cba that attracted free agents.

the fact that you want him traded so bad, you lose a ton of cred because some of the propose trades, are not well thought out, and are just herky jerky moves, and it wouldnt solve one single real issue.

As long as you think melo is the issue, the more you don't sound smart

No. I get frustrated when Melo is blamed for things that are beyond his control (i.e. not drawing marquee free agents to a team that only has the mid level exception to offer) or for not doing things none of his peers are doing. The fact that the cba, nys and nyc income tax also handicap what the Knicks should do is a factor as well.

first off i dont want him traded so bad. I said im totally fine if he stays. Secondly insulting my intelligence is just juvenile. When it comes to basketball i have been involved with it pretty much my whole life so i think i know some stuff. Stay classy

Phil should not talk with Melo about NTC or trade or anything related to this...
Melo should talk with Phil about it if he feel like.
It is Melo problem not Phil, and not Knicks.
As Phil rightly mentioned there is little difference if Melo will stay or go.
We suck and will suck for another 2-3 years and Melo will be gone or done by then regardless.
So why bother?

Maybe blame is the wrong word. Inability to do things that his peers don't have the ability to do as well would be a better use of words.

I dont know if anyone saw this, but when Melo was being heckled last night about how bad the team was, (blacked out in my area) he told a fan to talk to Dolan.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14881904/carmelo-anthony-new-york-knicks-tells-heckling-fan-address-james-dolan-ask-your-money-back

Melo knows what kind of owner Dolan is about even the slightest criticism by his employees. It was just an offhand remark, but it seems almost like a shot across the bow. Im sure Dolan's people relayed this info him, will be interesting to see how Dolan responds, if at all.

Are you watching the game? Just curious. Do You think that the other 13 players on the squad are just invisible to NBA players? Who the Hell would want to play with that garbage? I do hope Melo leaves so all of you are drowned in misery. Funny how when KP is asked about Melo he realizes what he will be left with if Melo leaves. Not a pretty picture for him. But all you high IQ basketball guys know better.

yes i do watch and have played since i was 5 so i might know a little about basketball. By the way i didnt insult the guy. I have given him props for his play this year. Also hoping he is traded so you can prove we suck without him is kinda petty

What's our record again when Melo--that-player-you-give-props-to-BUT-- doesn't play? I forget. Does he really have to be traded to see how much more we suck without him?

He's a ball stopper, but he leads the team in assists.
He can't shoot anymore, but he leads the team in scoring.
He's old and is breaking down physically but leads the team in rebounds.

Meanwhile everyone's Melo antivenom, KP, has hit the rookie wall big time. And as was stated, even KP, the team's Mr. High BBIQ, knows the worth of Melo.

This that the other thing. If you put Lebron on a team with 4 D league players hes going to win 50 games. Carmelo is on a team with a legit C and a bunch of vets --same thing w e had 5 years ago and we stink. We stink with Carmelo--thats the answer--were not a good team. The style of play on both ends is one of the worst in the NBA. The only way to rectify this is by trading him for a multitude of assets and starting from a new base. Putting mediocre on top of medicare doesnt = winner. If this team spends 20mm a year and over pay Mike Conley we still wont win 41 games.

well melo hasnt exactly been a big attraction to free agents to be honest. Im not trying to bash him at all but its just the way it seems to be unfortunetly

Knicks haven't exactly had cap space to spend.

this past summer?
ONe big name left his team and he went to the Spurs. He also said he was considering the Knicks but didn't want to play center.
its not a bad thing to say melo doesnt attract free agents. The truth is very few players have that type of luring ability. Its not a indictment on melo
San Antonio attracted a big name free agent. What other players pulled free agents this past summer?
Again its not a diss on melo. If melo fans interpret it that way im sorry. I was actually trying to defend him by saying that its very rare for players to be able to lure other big free agents
So you don't have a name? I know I don't. But we have discussed this before. The CBA makes it extremely difficult for marquee players to pass up the extra money they would receive if they stay with their teams. In addition some destinations that don't have state income tax are also more desirable (money does matter). In addition NY has a city income tax handicapping Brooklyn and the Knicks even more.
just forgot about it i give up. Im wrong melo is great and a huge attraction
Your words. I was asking you what players were huge attractions this past offseason and got other margueee players to leave their team in free agency? I can't come up with one. Not trying to spin it back to a tired topic.
i never said it happened this past offseason. But time to end this dude
You started it with your comment about Melo not bringing in free agents. In this cba no one is bringing in the free agents that I am aware of. A marquee organization landed the one marquee free agent that left. Calling Melo out for doing something no other individual player is able to do is what I take an issue with.
i didnt call melo out. Now you are just stirring the pot. This is the end of the conversation
I was referring to this,
well melo hasnt exactly been a big attraction to free agents
. That was why I asked you to name other individual players in this cba that attracted free agents.
damn dude you really wont let it go. I mean it doesnt matter what i say because you always unfairly accuse me of being a melo hater.
No. I get frustrated when Melo is blamed for things that are beyond his control (i.e. not drawing marquee free agents to a team that only has the mid level exception to offer) or for not doing things none of his peers are doing. The fact that the cba, nys and nyc income tax also handicap what the Knicks should do is a factor as well.
i didnt blame melo for anything. Now you are getting ridiculous

Maybe blame is the wrong word. Inability to do things that his peers don't have the ability to do as well would be a better use of words.

police man, do you ever post about things that you don't like or hate about our team or is it just "I love nascar"?

so here is what phil is thinking ....
If I were PJ and wanted out of Melo contact...
