Who cares..

You of all people, by the way, should realize the importance of leadership. Anthony does his job as a leader and maybe JR is still around...who knows.

I've been coaching HS sports for over 25 years, and the ONLY good teams I've ever had are the ones with a leadership component that deals with issues a coach can't control all the time.

Melo can't be that stupid

The only way this goes away is a trade at the appropriate time for a price reasonably comparable to what we paid out. The Celtics have the goods we need in terms of guards and draft picks

Actually brought tears to my eyes.

Aw jeez. Maybe the Knicks could find Melo a david Wingate type that is only there to sit by Melo and hang out with him. Tim was brutal last year and getting the 19th pick for him was one of Phil's finest moments.

I am not one who wanted to give up on a young talented dude like THJ, but given that we acquired a much better talent for him, I won't complain. I hope he does better in his new environment.

Carmelo Anthony feels “completely hoodwinked and betrayed by Phil Jackson’’ after the Knicks traded Tim Hardaway Jr. and selected European project Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth pick of the draft, according to a radio report by ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith.

The report cited sources close to Anthony, who is currently in Las Vegas for his wife La La’s birthday.

“All they said was he’s furious, he’s livid, he feels completely hoodwinked and betrayed by Phil Jackson,’’ Smith said. “He feels like he was lied to and sold a bill of goods. He’s willing to concede he wanted his money, but he didn’t know it would be like this and this bad. He can’t believe the second season for Phil Jackson he has to look forward to being worse than last season was.”

I don't know what if anything Melo said. And he didn't say it publicly. I don't trust leaked information. But a reporter, however agenda driven cannot get away just making **** up. If it's completely untrue Melo or his agent would have denied it.

I just don't have any issue with him not liking the pick. To me is not relevant.

Young talented dude that regressed to a sub past bench warmer as the protege of a great mentor.

I hope he does, too. Should be interesting to see how he fits into a Spurs type offense where he will have to do a little more moving around. I think they see him as a possible Korver replacement, but he'll have to do a better job on D.

Atlanta is also a pretty nice city, perhaps the NYC of the South.

Who cares..

If you know anything about successful teams, you would care.

You are right..All successful teams take to Twitter to welcome Newbies..

Forget Twitter...he should have called each of them personally...

...but then that would have taken some class, as well as leadership.

So you know that Melo have the phone numbers of all potential draftees..Just in case he needs to make that call to the players drafted by the Knicks...A call can't wait a few days once things are settled, and he can get in touch with the appropriate staffers that have their numbers..These calls need to be made immediately to appease message board participants..So they can determine proper leadership qualities..
