I don't know what hell is the meaning of What should we do with Melo. I should say what should we do to help Melo. Every damn thread is bash Melo time. Damn can't we talk about something else. This is getting sick. Just like the two sicko brothers. which one I have on ignore. The best year we had in 13 years and you still complain. Now about winning it all aka a championship. You have 12 other good teams thinking the same thing but there can only be one winner. So does the rest of the league suck? I believe that half of the people on this forum only care about is how you play the game and not winning the game. I bet no one on this forum would be willing to give up a raise in pay just to bring in someone else on your work team. Hell No! give me mine. Now you say regular season don't count and what Melo did then dosent mean a thing. Let me tell you something every game is an important game.

Perhaps with his 29th birthday celebration this week, Carmelo Anthony should treat himself to Phil Jackson's book, "Sacred Hoops."

That's what Jackson hopes Melo, whom he called a "terrific player," purchases to learn what it takes to become an NBA champion.

"He's one step away from getting there and having that opportunity," Jackson said on Thursday during an interview on Bloomberg Radio's "Taking Stock" with Pimm Fox and Carol Massar. "Having had [a championship] as an NCAA player, it's something he must crave."

In "Sacred Hoops," Jackson describes coaching the greatest player ever, who also needed some motivation from the "Zen Master" himself.

"It's a book in which I address the fact that Michael Jordan's a leading scorer, he's got the capability of being a terrific scorer," Jackson said, "but that he's got to get his other teammates involved and he's got to make it a team game."

"Sacred Hoops" was published in 1995, two years after the Bulls won three straight titles. Jackson has written several other books, including "Maverick: More Than a Game," "The Last Season: A Team in Search of Its Soul" and "Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success," which was released earlier this month. During his legendary coaching career, Jackson was known to give his players books to read for teaching and inspiration.

Recently, in an interview with The New York Times, Jackson also took a jab at the Knicks, saying they're still missing championship pieces.

"The Knicks still have to find some accommodating group of guys that know how to play ball together, move the ball and play the game the right way," he said.

it's not just people on this board that are sick and tired of melo playing like he's in the streets..

the main issue is playing ball the right way. i have been saying this all along. melo doesn't know how to. trade this chump.

I think he can be MADE TO PLAY THE RIGHT WAY. -
That's what coach K did in the Olympics. But you need someone like tgat with enough credibility to steamroll his whining and self centered ego issues. If we don't have a coach like that then yes trade him by all means. We will never win anything with Melo.

Do you really believe that? I wish people stop using the olympics as an example of how carmelo can be a different player... everyone can behave in the short term, in a different environment when they know it is just temporary.. plus it wasn't coach K that kept him in check, it was the real star players that made sure of that.. carmelo had to fall in line.. and unless you can get that olympic team in NY, we are doomed..

or get 1 real star to play with him. Dont give me Tyson Chandler the guy isnt even a Top 5 Center and Amare Stoudamires knee just gave out again while i was making this post. I think Melo would be more inclined to not play hero ball if he didnt have to play hero ball to win.Do any of u really think this roster is good enough to win a title. This team wouldnt win the title if u replaced Melo with Lebron either.Melo is the only 1 making big money on this team that actually earns it.1 guy has no knees making 23 million and the other is 14 million dollar role player

You know we need to end this thread and here's why. Melo ain't going no where he will be a Knick and probably retire a Knick. He sells tickets. Dolan loves him. So why all the trade talk. Are we playing a fun game? Ok I will play this little game with you. Let's call it make believe because that what it is. Melo is here and some of you don't like that so you write bad things knowing good and well it means nothing. You have no power and I have no power. It is what it is. And it's not like any of you haters go to any games. But guess what. The games are sold out without you. So lets continue to play make believe about Melo. It makes you feel better since you are helpless to really do anything about Melo. LOL let the games continue.

Honestly? No, I don't really believe it will work. But he is what we have and unless Cleveland wants to trade Irving or something like that, this approach of getting a legit heavyweight coach maybe a more realistic option. I think we should give it a shot - if it doesn't work, keep the coach and trade his ass.
