Melo is highly highly respected by his NBA peers who are stars. When you watch what happens what star is going to come here? The Knicks will give out big contracts to 2nd tier guys.... because they can. Al Jefferson's contract comes to mind. Ty Lawson.. Knicks will end up giving 2-3 guys like that 4 year $60mm contracts and wonder why they are only a playoff bubble team winning 40ish games totally capped out with no future.

Anyway... regardless of what happens the fans arent entitled to anything. Its Dolan's business and he's running it well because the value has climbed impressively over the last couple years. He may be a loathsom drunken hobbit but its his show. Knick fans are the consumers. Business will listen when the consumer stops buying. Thats the only upside to Melo leaving. A couple horrible seasons that result in the NBA forcing Dolan to do what? We made the playoffs 3 years in a row, won a playoff series and now look like its back to the lottery. These things happen in sports no?

You feelings dont entitle to you dictate to Dolan how to run his business. A dose of reality folks...

Oh no! Not that! Can you imagine if we only won around 40 games and were on the bubble for the playoffs every year? What a downgrade that would be for us considering all the success we've had over the last several years

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

didn't read the whole thread but I would like to point out that if a petition gets 100,000 signatures on the White Houses's website, the President will address the issue.

I'm not saying having the White Houses address Dolan's ineptitude will solve anything however it would be fun to shame the fool

there is only one shame... and thats getting crushed in season tick subscriptions. Bottom line is the garden is filled, MSG value is at all time high, they have taken over the Lakers (never thought I would see that) as the most valuable NBA franchise... sorry mate, we are stuck with the drunken hobbit for the forseeable future
