That makes no sense.
What do you mean ? NYC Media type hype was waiting for some top 5 scorer to make his way to Broadway again.
They want to see a show.
Media knows as long as Lebron James was playing in the east , Championships aspirations for the knicks has to go through him. Championships is all he would be playing for regardless of the team he played on.
I'd say you have a concept in your head but it does is not coming out right. Thats the polite way.
Or I can say "Im laughing at you cuz your an idiot".
Take your pick.
"Lets do it again:
Makes no sense"
You reply what do you mean?

Make way to broadway again? We had Ewing who was a top 10 and a string of playoff success.
"Media type hype", Not words most would use but we get it. I call it "Starphuch". I don't think Melo was the "tap dance kid" so I don't see him "making his way back home", but lets be real, the trade was hyped and we saw the marketing of "coming home". That elevated expectations meanwhile the roster was thin to make the trade. Not making a value judgement of whether it was worth it, just saying that what happened.
And with a thin roster, you don't hve developing players other than Shump.
its not a dire situation and we are a better team with melo than without, but one that has a ceiling.
You asked why King was more revereed. You don't have to agree, but at least make sense if you can.
