He has no reason to resist since this system is going to be based on doing things he's already great at doing. It should make him a more efficient player along with a more efficient team. Sure his comments are a bit phony. Lots of players make similar kinds of comments. In the end it's meaningless.

"in the end" how would you know it's meaningless? that's the tail wagging the dog, my friend.

When this team is playing unselfish BB and winning games with the very same Melo as the lead player, there will be silence from his detractors. It's really not about his words. It's gonna be about what this team does on the court. We have IMO the best leaderships we've had in more than a decade. Phil is here and has been putting his people in place. We saw already how that impacted the SL team and all the decisions Phil has made so far have been to the betterment of this team. It's just the beginning but you get the sense that things are changing for the better. Guys are making too much of Melo's comments as if it really has any impact on what this team does on the court. It does not.

I, for one, prefer to like the players on the team I root for, and Anthony's hypocrisy is not exactly endearing to me. Everything he's done so far in terms of the original trade and this contract has been for him, and him alone.

Many folks on UK make a big deal about how "he should get as much as he can," or "how can he leave $30M on the table?" Fine, but something is really wrong with people if they don't have a reaction when Anthony, probably looking for some kind of love after seeing the general reaction to his fleecing of the Knicks, comes out and says its not the money, but winning, after getting $124M from the Knicks, and spurning less from a team with a much better chance of gaining a title.

Some things for you to think about:

What will you write if Anthony doesn't completely buy into the theoretical unselfishness of the Triangle and we don't even make it to the EC finals during his contract?

What will you write if the Knicks are only OK, and Anthony leaves after 4 years to play for less with Durant on OKC of James on the Cavs?

What will you write if we reach the EC finals in year 4 and he opts out with the intention asking for a 2yr/$65M contract, benefitting from the new cap numbers?

Will you have a different view of what he's been saying and the contract?

Just wondering.

I think many here that seem like they are huge Melo supporters are reacting to the constant trashing of the guy. While the trashing was always present it increased dramatically when some guys got kicked off of realgm and brought their hate to this forum. I think Melo will be criticized if it is justified.

It is a bit of pain but if you are curious you can go back to around the time of the trade to see how posters felt about Melo. Also, the fight with Jeffries etc. some guys that post here make him a polarizing figure. I know for myself it is hard not to defend and advocate for the guy when I watch the games and the read some of the stuff guys are writing about him.

this observation of yours-- perhaps you should consider that the boys in charge over at realgm are actually swine? otherwise i would still be there.

you are, sadly, out of your depth here.

Have you been spoken to here by the mods about negative posts?

i have said nothing negative here. i was kicked off there because one of the filthy internet swine over there received a personal insult and used that as pretext to ban me. pretty sure tkf (true knick fan) has a more fascinating tale to tell.

meanwhile i have no intention of doing something similar with the powers that be here.

anything else, champ?

I decided to check out realgm. This is a pretty funny thread. Imagine you being caught calling out Melo and not watching a game. It was the mods over there right?

I like the idea of posting game action though when you are accusing a guy of not guarding someone.

you're wasting your time. but just for fun lets hope people of good character take your bait and weigh in on all the libelous stuff born of desperation you're posting now. as i said i can't be bothered if it's just you. and friendly advice here... you may end up deemed foolish.

melo is a douchebag with FU money.

Thirteen days after your peers on a sports forum are calling you out for not watching games, being a troll, posting hate on Melo and wondering why you haven't been banned yet you joined this forum. But your reasoning for getting banned is the swine mods on realgm?

there are two reasons not to watch games: the knicks are boring because meloball is boring; the knicks are predictably bad. the first reason is self-evident. the second reason is the provenance of those who are good at predicting based on a superior insight into the nature of the game and human nature.

i have never been a troll. the accusation is laughable.

posting hate is inaccurate. what you mean is contempt and disgust.

the powers that be there on realgm are swine. the fact i was banned says a great deal about them-- they are panderers, among other things.

what I find funny is how people talk bad about realgm around here yet when they have no argument or point to make to they go back and refer to realgm to try to discredit you.. and as you said, the discussion was probably over his head, as he has no clue as to how that culture works around there...

And the clown in that thread accusing you of not watching the games is historically a troll and troublemaker... the fact that someone would post that thread over here as evidence is laughable and pretty much sums what you and I have said about a lot of NY fans that post on these forums... smh

I, for one, prefer to like the players on the team I root for, and Anthony's hypocrisy is not exactly endearing to me. Everything he's done so far in terms of the original trade and this contract has been for him, and him alone.

Many folks on UK make a big deal about how "he should get as much as he can," or "how can he leave $30M on the table?" Fine, but something is really wrong with people if they don't have a reaction when Anthony, probably looking for some kind of love after seeing the general reaction to his fleecing of the Knicks, comes out and says its not the money, but winning, after getting $124M from the Knicks, and spurning less from a team with a much better chance of gaining a title.

Some things for you to think about:

What will you write if Anthony doesn't completely buy into the theoretical unselfishness of the Triangle and we don't even make it to the EC finals during his contract?

What will you write if the Knicks are only OK, and Anthony leaves after 4 years to play for less with Durant on OKC of James on the Cavs?

What will you write if we reach the EC finals in year 4 and he opts out with the intention asking for a 2yr/$65M contract, benefitting from the new cap numbers?

Will you have a different view of what he's been saying and the contract?

Just wondering.

I think many here that seem like they are huge Melo supporters are reacting to the constant trashing of the guy. While the trashing was always present it increased dramatically when some guys got kicked off of realgm and brought their hate to this forum. I think Melo will be criticized if it is justified.

It is a bit of pain but if you are curious you can go back to around the time of the trade to see how posters felt about Melo. Also, the fight with Jeffries etc. some guys that post here make him a polarizing figure. I know for myself it is hard not to defend and advocate for the guy when I watch the games and the read some of the stuff guys are writing about him.

this observation of yours-- perhaps you should consider that the boys in charge over at realgm are actually swine? otherwise i would still be there.

you are, sadly, out of your depth here.

Have you been spoken to here by the mods about negative posts?

i have said nothing negative here. i was kicked off there because one of the filthy internet swine over there received a personal insult and used that as pretext to ban me. pretty sure tkf (true knick fan) has a more fascinating tale to tell.

meanwhile i have no intention of doing something similar with the powers that be here.

anything else, champ?

I decided to check out realgm. This is a pretty funny thread. Imagine you being caught calling out Melo and not watching a game. It was the mods over there right?

i am not going to bother to look. you are not contributing to this thread

It is a classic

i am pretty sure the discussion was over your head.

i am not calling you stupid, by the way.

I think I get this. http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1178309
I like the idea of posting game action though when you are accusing a guy of not guarding someone.

you're wasting your time. but just for fun lets hope people of good character take your bait and weigh in on all the libelous stuff born of desperation you're posting now. as i said i can't be bothered if it's just you. and friendly advice here... you may end up deemed foolish.

melo is a douchebag with FU money.

Thirteen days after your peers on a sports forum are calling you out for not watching games, being a troll, posting hate on Melo and wondering why you haven't been banned yet you joined this forum. But your reasoning for getting banned is the swine mods on realgm?

let me ask you a question. do you know any of the mods on realgm? I personally know a few and I have had numerous off site discussions with the owners of that site.... so how are you going to question DK? I can tell you this, I was a mod there for many years.. and DK is on point.... trust me.. why can't you just debate dk straight up.. do you think dragging in realgm and people you don't know is helping you here? if anything it is making you look bad, because you have no clue what went on over there... none..

In the Charlie Sheen sense, a 122mil contract is winning!!!

I agree guys, its about Wins and Losses. If the past is all we can go on then why play the games?????

Is that why DK refuses to click on the link that Crush provided?

No I was referring to putting people on ignore.

As far as the realgm I didn't pay much attention to it because I don't see how it applies to this topic
