25 year old Randle vs. Melo today? Yea ok. Same age? You are out of your mind. Melo at age 25 was putting up 28ppg on a 54 win team out west. This is silly even by Melo-hater standards

Yeah and they won 60 after he left.

they went 38-28. Their win% took an immediate hit.
Knicks had 10 losing seasons before Melo followed 3 winning seasons after adding him.

Slow day at work?

Weren’t we winning with Amare before he got to the Knicks.

2 games over .500 at the time of the trade.

The Knicks played .500 basketball after he joined the Knicks. The nuggets improve 3 games after the trade. Let’s play along and go into the future a year after trade. Nuggets 35-23 Knicks 27-33. Everyone keeps harping one the 54 win team. Melo was an amazing role player that year. I say role player because he wasn’t asked to much with JKidd and other vets covering him up big time. All he had to do is be a scorer which he is most willing at. Everyone wants to give credit to Melo who was playing with a veteran team of old farts. But it was the veterans that brought winning mentality and took him for a ride. Great inefficient scorer that had a lot of people fooled because of fan fare. The pseudo superstar.

He was third in mvp voting the year they had Kidd. He won the scoring title. The Knicks won 54 games and Melo won player of the month that April and the Knicks went 14-1 with most of the team hurt. Just say you hate the guy.

Man I wish we had a few more role players

Funny the supposed role players the Knicks traded were winning 57 games.

Melohate is relegated to the same abject stupidity:
1) Amare, his fire extinguisher, his red red wine and dribbling off his feet was going to get us a chip. All by his lonesome, with his glass knees.
2) 54 wins was specifically Rashweed inventing 3 to the head, Camby being an invisible presence on the bench, and JKidd's missed layup festivals. And Kurt's one game resurgence in Utah. And occassionally mistaking KMart for Melo.
3) LinLove (Thankfully, since he's currently burning up China in the shadow of Marbles, hardly anyone mentions this anymore)

Randle's O still reminds me of Melo.

Funnier, the season before those role players (who ended being on the top 10 list of worst contracts in the NBA) were winning 38 games.
Your hate denial is also apparently leading to alzheimers. Get help.

And the Nuggs were winning 50+ games for several seasons with that pathetic role player.

Even more hilarious, check the win differential for the three straight seasons the Knicks went to the playoffs compared before we added that role player. I suppose you can tell us how DLee not being allowed to blossom was the key to that?

And stop with the JKidd/CambyMan/Retiredweed/KrazyEyes dragged us to 54 wins. You always sound stupid saying this.

How could you forget Kenyon.
