I saw the game where he scored 11 points in 1 quarter. I also saw coach K say that he's one of the most likable, easy to coach players he's ever had. K said he was surprised b/c of Melo's reputation.

Melo also lost a ton of weight last summer and has been making a better commitment on both sides of the ball, and has been settling for the long ball a hell of a lot less this season. I know Melo had a turbulent year in his sophomore one, but as some might say, you can take that reputation and shove it.

It would be nicer to see him in a knick uniform before he is in the twilight of his career!
once his knees are shot and he has 80mil left on his contract, then he is ours!
LOL. Sad part is that's probably accurate.
Speaking of which.....this hyper extending of his knee? You could are that type of injury coming. He lands weird every time he takes off. Every time I see him jump and land my knee hurts! Dude has big legs so maybe he can handle it.
Damn without depressing yourself about cap problems wouldn't it be wicked to have melo here with this line-up?
