Obviously good pg's don't raise his game. Oh yeah and we wouldn't have needed a point guard I he didn't force the trade that sent Felton to Denver. Felton look like an allstar in mda's system... But since he had to play games and force a deal we ended up with no point guard for a third of this season. Again you miss the point that he forced a team HE WAS GOING TO to dismantle for no reason. The Knicks have stated an interest in signing Chandler and he said "he'd love a return to NY." even if we paid him in chicken gyros he'd be a knick, and no matter where he or smith sign it's going to be for the minimum. Both want to play in new York and the difference between Chandler and Melo's contracts and Howard's would be available. Even if Dolan had to eat a few million their contracts shouldn't count against our cap.
WTH is turkey glue? How couldn't they afford deron when they'd be getting rid of an 83 million dollar contract and a 54 million dollar contract? Plus the millions we gave to one year deal this off season... You're telling me 140 mill wouldn't be enough to sign them?
right. So it's pretty clear that you may want to read up on a lot of topics and consider your points more closely. Stay tuned, keep up and perhaps back off on being so absolute.
You missed about a dozen points in my post, and you still have too many factual errors and argument errors in your own. I'd suggest reading more and taking your time responding.
Sorry I have a life... I'll read your points more closely as soon as someone takes the time to comment on my original point... How much more egotistical can a player get than dismantling a team you're going to sign with anyway? How come no one is willing to comment on this fact?!
"Dismantled" by ego?
Ok, so you don't like Melo. Thats ok. Your entitled to your opinion.
Your not exactly backing up your arguement.
You have a life. So do we. Sort of.
If your going to engage on an emotional rant thats cool. But if your going to engage
in a respectable conversation then back it up. If you can't, then let it go.
Thats what Martin is saying.
And BTW, Howard is doing the same thing but he is actually complaining about touches and his coach.
That is one thing Melo never did.
Melo was pretty clear about his situation. He wanted to move and wanted his money. Blame the knicks if you must for "dismantle" of the roster.
If you are any kind of lurker on these pages you'll see many were not in favor of the trade as the price was very high.
Love it or hate the trade, its not what we think that is important but what the team does. Usually we are not privy to the decision making process nor what happens in practice.
Melo played very well on the olympic team and was a key player. It was filled with other alpha players. I think he knows whats going on and SHOULD try to fit in. I have not seen him to be disruptive nor selfish at any level. I have seen Ewing do far worse expeically in 1986!
Melo has his big money and now its about legacy.
That is a powerful agenda.
Players do evolve and he has every opportunity to do so.
