This is great hindsight logic. Everyone just knew Jason Kidd had enough left in the tank and Jason Terry was the missing SG necessary to get a chip 6 years after getting him from the Hawks.

This is like saying every piece of dust can and will evolve into a monkey if you give it enough time...

Jrodmc your posting is to advanced for my simple mind. I can't tell if you agree with me and are being sarcastic or you disagree with what I am saying.

I'm just trying to express my opinion on the difference between direct causal relationships and dominoes falling over randomly. I mean, Cuban's about as close to a rich genius blabbermouth as there exists, but Jason Terry 6 years later and Jason Kidd on his last legs?

it comes down to winning, and that in a nutshell is why I want Melo back, poor playoff performances or not. Because when your winning games the players and their stats on your roster mean more. Everyone has more value. Winning is so important. I think its critical to show that last year was a one-off and we are much closer to the 54 win team than the 37 win team. Phil has some more work to do...

you are insane

really, I mean I am having to read that over again to see how any of that makes sense.... Bring a player back, even if he has been a poor playoff performer because winning games makes everyone more valuable.... well how about winning playoff games?

As far as last year, we are supposed to ignore that completely, and believe that we are much closer to the 54 win team, and why is that again?

All I can really say is wow..

Martin! They are hurting my feelings again!!!!! I will be filing a full detailed report, complete with historical evidence of this unfair treatment.

Anyway.. Yes tfk you ignore last year. Why? Because if your talking about Melo teams you have a decade of winning records to work with. As for winning playoff games I agree. Just like with Kevin Garnett, who had even more playoff futility and struggles than Melo you need to build out the whole team.

Funny thing about winning playoff games. You have to get there first. Funny when Robert Horry was a FA he didnt have 5 teams pining to give him the max. Go figure.

FUNNY THING FISH.. robert horry had rings, and never did he have a shortage of places to play.. do you understand when horry retired? WHEN HE WANTED TO!!!!!

Robert horry was coveted by teams who won....and when he got there.. they won..

Melo teams you have a decade of winning records to work with.

here is where that is useless... It didn't help us last year... and here is another thing, why aren't there players lining up to come here and play with him..why? why is he hopping from plane to plane trying to find a place to play...

Let me give you an example of what a winner and leader does.. Dirk is sitting in Dallas with no contract.. he could have easily asked for a contract and taken a pay cut.. but no, dirk one upped that... he said go out and get the players you feel we need to win if you can, and then come back and take care of me...

Instead carmelo is flying from team to team.. LOL.. who is pining for who?

BTW where is carmelo's black book?

I know this line-up doesn't exactly instill the fear of God in anyone but I do think it would be fun to watch:

Amare at the 5 again? Why would it be fun to watch both knees implode?

I see,

As the phrase goes there is no blueprint to winning a championship. But there is also a reason why the Dallas Mavericks have won around 50 games in the tough West for the last what 12yrs with about like 4 different cores. That's not dominoes randomly falling over, that's flexibility that eventually lead to a magical run.

Horry was a unique player 6'10 player that can guard 3-5 and knock down 3s. He was the perfect compliment to dominant post presence(Hakeem, Shaq, Duncan).
