OKC is perfect for him. 3rd option is about right. Im sure he will do well in the role. Have fun Melo.

Yeah, one good year. I sure hated going to the second round of the playoffs, didn't you? 36 points in game 6, what a waste! And maybe he should have signed for the league minimum, like all other franchise players do...

I believe Melo was 3rd in MVP voting and that was 100% deserved. I did nothing but praise Melo for that entire season.

Shocking you remember Melo's great game 6 performance. You seem to have forgotten WHY that was an elimination game in the first place. Maybe go look up some box scores on bb reference and tell me how well Melo played in the whole series.

In fact go look at MElo's career shooting. Now go look at his playoff shooting. Notice a trend?

I know you got some butt-hurt from this trade but I think you will be OK. Or maybe not. Melo is right where he fits. 3rd option next to a center and wings who will cover for his poor defense. Its a great spot for him. Be happy.

He collected massive paychecks. Because no one else here, or in the rest of the NBA, ever thought about getting paid massively. Notice you conveniently didn't respond to that.

Yes, and every playoff loss is on Melo, got it. I'll go memorize Melo's poor slash line when you can spout the shining performances of everyone around him.

You see, despite being a fan of Melo as a Knick, I've managed to remember it's a team game.

And I honestly don't give a rat's ass about OKC.

And trust me, I understand you're wallowing knee deep in spluge now that he's gone, but can you stop with the overly gracious front runner act?
His playoffs sucked. Except when they didn't. I praised him when he did well and then I hated on his azz when he didn't. Good for you. Flip flopping is a way of life, huh?

Im not happy at all to see him gone. Its another chapter in failed Knick management. Nothing more. I would have much preferred to see him part of a successful next era. However he said it best himself. He only stayed as long as he did for the money. Thats a direct quote from your hero. Flip flop... yea well, I am fishmike.

The longevity of what though, suckyness. Think of all the missed draft opportunities? Between the revolving door of players, coaches, front office . We never had a identity with melo, it was just melo drama and one good year, it wasn’t even a great year we lost to Roy Hibbert, yea that bust !

Again I like melo the person but his era was one of the worst in team history. The only good thing to come out of it was that we sucked good enough to get kp .

And his drama spilled over into kp this past summer and we almost lost him.

If Porzingis brings us to the promise land I will get on my knees and thank Anthony for one of the worst eras in knick history . Because he delivered us our savior !

one of the worst? surely not as bad as the isaiah led starbury, juice card, anucha, isaiah-dolan love affair, get-in-the-truck, eddy curry, jerome "garbage bag" james, steve francis era.

Nobody blames exclusively. when you sell the star and raise expectations then it the player that always get the scorn.
Max money is that kind of thing when you don't win. Max players are paid to play max minutes.
MDA had little depth on the team that depleted its cupboard.
Melo tried to play MDA ball but gave up. Tried to be the Triangle Alpha but gave up. He said he would try, then he revolted.
Thats real regardless of fault and blame.
The Jason Kidd Era was a great season and we all knew the knicks were cooked by seasons end. Melo was great. The team exceeded expectations.
You really want to argue a post being gracious about Melo?

Nalod,
It's gone. Buh bye. We have a unicorn and a young frog who jumps!
Unfortunately, the pisspoor Melo hate parade continues.
MDA ball required more than Landry Fields and BrokeStat. Not exactly giving up on something that wasn't there to begin with.
Big Chief brought his rings, waved them in the air, and did little else, besides hire and appoint dysfunctional coaches. Melo revolted? Who was holding the press conferences and writing "Charlie Says" ghost articles?
Real is what you behold from where you are.
You lost me at the "Jason Kidd Era".
Gracious would be: Buh bye Mooby, hello Enes.
End the hate, it's over.

Bahahaha. Still trying to win the argument. Your full of made up jargon and hiding behind bull****.

Ahh, the field goal % argument, good for tgise that dis not see that season, watched that series or know anything about basketball. Is that the best you have for putting down an MVP candidate year? Gtfoh! I guess the amazing contributions of Shump, Felton, Smith and Chandler were just let down by that 40% percentage of a mediocre participant.

Btw. Love the way you always rush to accusing guys of butt hurting, masturbating, when they tell you Melo was not the cause of all your pain. What gives?

Btw, ALL Melo fans are extremely happy he got traded. But guess we expected you to be wrong about that angle as well.

But okay lets end the Melo debate. Only one question that would proof your hater view is right.
Please name which years, that Melo was here, you, the all knowing Bball guru, thoight we had the right pieces in place to win a playoff series?

And please don't change the subject by bringing out all the other made up speculations, fan perspectives, rumored fact I.e....leader, professionalism, baby momma, not taking guys to PR, not being a mentor, good team mate, what a reporter on a very well known blog site with 39 followers said, or what your aunt's cousin sisters dogs trainer confirmed aboit him.

If you think melo actually helped this TEAM create a winning environment, cause that’s what STARS do. Melo couldn’t even do that on the 54 win team, thanks JKidd a real star. Melo was a all star, never a super star like a lot of melo lovers like to portray him as .

Melo is like having a declining Allen iverson on your team, he dose nothing but ruin team ball movement offensive chemistry of a TEAM. The iso ball worked in his prime, because he had all star level skills, now he just looks like a declining ball chucker who plays no defense.

Like I said I don’t know if melo has success in okc, he’s never changes his game, why would he in okc ? I could see melo riding the pine like kanter did in the playoffs because he’s such a defensive liability and is a black hole on offense.

OKC could be Melos worst nightmare

The subject is simple. Melo's failures are reflected in the numbers. You are just unable to see them because your a Melo homer. He's your hero. I get it. You have established that. Im not. Im a Knick fan and I have no allegence to a player ABOVE the team. Its that simple. Melo has performed poorly many times, and he's got a track record of shooting his teams out of playoffs games.

Oh.. and the Knicks had home court vs. Indiana. The Knicks were the #2 seed. They should have won. They were the better team. However we entered game 6 down 3-2.
Game 1, Knicks lose, Melo shoots 10-28
Game 3, Knicks lose, Melo shoots 6-16
Game 4, Knicks lose, Melo shoots 9-23

So yea... I would expect you to only remember the great game 6 he had. Your a Melo fan. However as a Knick fan I remember being down 3-2 to a lower seed because your hero shot us out of those games.

Any other questions?

Yea.. Im a hater. You simply refuse to look at the guy's body of work, and understand his failures are just that. HIS. Cause he performed POORLY. I used caps to help you see it. Your welcome.

Typical. Useless rant without answering the ONE question I asked. Because that would prove your just a hater.

Great change of subject. Again, If you knew anything about logic or basketball, you would realize, that by pointing out a team was able to stop ONE player and win a series, it proves my point that the team was made up of ONE good player surrounded by a bunch of mediocre bench or future retiree's. (As most of those players went on to prove once they left the Knicks) But okay, great point. Let me bring up all the HOF players, on chip teams that were stopped by another teams collective defensive effort and double teams. It's called letting the other players beat you. Specially if the other players suck. But you know that from all your playing experience. So how does that dispute my point that the team had nobody but Melo?7

And keep pretending like attacking stupid logic means we are not Knick fans. It's not a Melo thing, it's a stupid New York fan ideology thing. The one that thinks that ONE player should bring us a chip. Specially the ones that make 100 times more money than they do. Or the idea that this organazation knew what the Fuck it was doing the last 7 years. But keep believing that. As that is what Dolan wants everyone to believe. As he takes our money and blinds the stupid that think its really just ONE players fault for the organazational failure. Or that believe a starphucked coach running an antiquated system was the answer.

Still waiting for the answer to my question.

So the fact that the second leading scorer on that team (JR Smith) only shot 29% in that series and his scoring average dropped from 18 ppg during the season to 13 ppg and Jason Kidd barely played in the last two games is meaningless? It's all on Melo?
