Not saying you should feel sorry for Stat. I just think it's funny how many posts there are about Stat, Melo, Chandler etc. saying they could easily improve if they did X. Not that easy - they're already better at their jobs then the vast majority us are at ours - it's not that easy to get better.

Melo $124mil for 5yrs

Fast forward 4 years and after dealing with injuries and becoming a shell of his former self, Melo will still have a legion of fans defending him, saying he made us relevant, we had to take the risk on the bloated contract, its not his fault, he's still our # 2 offensive option and you have to start him.

'Stat' has been a ****ing disgrace in a Knicks shirt from start to finish and deserves abuse for his total non contribution and pathetic career in the orange and blue. If he had any self respect he would be utterly embarrassed at his performance and what he has brought to the franchise. He has no excuses left and has failed entirely. The guy is a complete fraud and I hope he is chased out the Garden in his bull**** suits and ****ing canes.

Totally different situation from Melo at this moment in time.
