It would take time to work something out and by then he would probably have calmed down and saw that things weren't that bad. SAS is an ass. One draft pick doesn't indicate that Phil wouldn't be able to bring in vet help for Melo. No matter who we drafted they'd be about the same age and rookies except for seniors like Kaminsky and Jerian. This is just a foolish reaction to a draft pick. We still have Free Agency coming up.

Bottom line - Melo knows both SAS and Isola. They wouldn't have reported this without his consent on some level.

So who was Melo's choice for #4? And would he really be torn up about THJ? Why?

Made the young PG comment, this most recent thing, and was seen in photos with Winslow and OK4.

OK4 was not their at 4.

He wanted Winslow, who he took to a Yankee game and taught the basics of the NYC market and proper branding etiquette.

It is funny because Grant is a 4 year player and Winslow is a one and done 6'4 power forward. I think you go with your gm/pres here. I think Winslow will be good but Kristaps was the right pick there.

Maybe it was more than the particular position or NBA readiness of a player- Is Winslow linked to him as far as Agents?

On the other hand, Grant is a leader, and Porzingis might do things that duplicate Anthony's skills- at least the shooting.

Winslow is a complimentary player- young, but physically strong, and OK4 is an NBA ready post-up player.

Carmelo Anthony not happy with Knicks drafting Kristaps Porzingis: source
BY FRANK ISOLA NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Friday, June 26, 2015, 12:29

Carmelo Anthony is upset with Phil Jackson's decision to draft 19-year-old Kristaps Porzingis, telling a close friend "are we supposed to wait two or three years for this guy?"

A Knicks source claims that Anthony called Tim Hardaway Jr. after Hardaway was traded to Atlanta for the draft rights to Jerian Grant to express his displeasure with Jackson's moves.

"He doesn't understand it," the source said.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith said on SiriusXM radio that Anthony feels "betrayed" by Jackson, who last summer signed him to a 5-year, $124 million contract.

Knicks officials are aware of Anthony's feelings about the moves.

Early Friday, Jackson was asked if he thought about Anthony when picking Porzingis and said: "Carmelo's always on my mind. He's our favorite son."

Anthony, who turned 31 on May 29, had season ending knee surgery in February and will be ready by the start of training camp.

Boom, its why your feeling empty. Its like Porn, its not real, neither are most of the hype leading up the draft. Girls don't love anal, they get to look like the love it.

"Carmelo is always on my mind, he's our favorite son at this point in his life, and that's the way it should be," Jackson said of how much Anthony matters in decisions made about the franchise's future. "But the second-most important thing is what we do for this franchise"

Second most important thing!!!!!! Hahaha

Phil is pretty good with the deep digs.

I think a lot of this is gonna be Phil trying to get through to Melo and it'll happen or it won't. Phil got through to MJ right away, took a while longer with Kobe. He's trying the same stuff on Melo. It'll work or it won't work.

I hope Dolan sees this is the way to go and doesn't try to meddle to protect his boy.

To paraphrase Phil: Melo buys in? Man are we fortunate. Melo wants out? Man are we fortunate.

See this is the kind of crap by our media that makes players hate to come here. Isola is literally doing things to sabotage the team. He writes things to directly have a negative impact on the team and put the franchise in a bad light all the time.
