What could they do with it. We have no choice but to swallow it until 2015.The only option is take a longer bad contract but I dont want that. Fact is we need to start rebuilding for 2015. Trade the pieces we can. Tyson Chandler should be on the block for draft picks. Try to get some young players here so when or if we resign Melo we can get another star and have some young players to play with

The thing is, as long as you have a healthy Melo, you are a 50 win team regardless of the supporting cast. We just need to find the right combination of supporting players to help push this team into contending status. Still plenty of chances to do it, and if not, we will be a good team until 2015 when we can rebuild around him the right way by adding another real star that can push him off the ball, forcing less shots, and improving his efficiency.

so, by that time after 13 years in the league, some GM will finally figure out the right way to build around carmelo? do you honestly believe that?

The thing is that Carmelo was supposed to play alongside a HEALTHY STAT. If that had been the case who knows what the team would look like. The funny thing is that Denver wanted to max him out and KEEP him. Seems to me that Denver wanted to continue to build around him.

IMHO, the Knicks had the right idea with Melo this year. Surround him with shooters and give him the room to operate. For example, I would LOVE to see a combo of Melo/Love/CP3.

For example, I'll write about a player I HATE.....PAUL PIERCE. The Celtics could have traded him but stuck with him and got him 2 studs to play with. If the we don't phuk things up we're set for a straight reboot come the 2015/2016. Even if we max out Melo, we're talking Melo, Felton, Novak and Shump at a price tag of around $36 mil.

I'm not going to argue about Melo being the MAN but I will state that Melo is a HUGE part moving forward.

Seconding the Thread Title.

Coming Home was obviously corny, but it has worked itself out sooooooo much better than the Coney Island version that preceded you. Thank you.
Efficiency be damned! We are almost taking second round basketball for granted now. Thank you.

The Yankees are now an interesting side note to what you and this team of yours are accomplishing. Thank you. (From a Yankees homer, no less)
You are big part in keeping the Rangers and hockey in general where it belongs, in the third world of NY sports. Thank you.

Even the possibility of a Game 7 in MSG this huge is something we haven't even sniffed at in so long, it's just...words fail me. Thank you.

Write us a fable we can believe in, StarMoobyMelo. Damn the critics, and drag us on your bully ball back to the promised land! Thank you.

Melo isn't a second option, but he should have the ball in his hands less, especially on the perimeter. He really needs to commit to playing the low post more where he can use his strength, quickness, off rebounding, and ability to draw fouls. That's where teams send the double team at him and he can get the ball moving. Melo is also capable of being a great quick catch and shoot player. We've seen all the times Felton has set him up. Im a Felton fan but getting a top NBA Pg would make us a major contender year in and year out. It's too bad a scenario for CP3 seems impossible.
Thank You to Melo
