Melo never would have spent his best years playing for the rebuilding Nets, a franchise no one really cares about. If we would have been patient, we would have gotten him for nothing next summer, I am convinced of that since day 1.
He didn't want to leave 20 million on the table.
He would hav emade that times 2 by coming to the Knicks with endorsements deals over the length of his career. He should have realized that the Knicks would have had a GREAT team if he joined them during the summer, and he'd have a MUCH BETTER chance at winnin with Chandler, Gallo, AR and a 1st round pick next to him for years to come.
If he was smart, he'd have realized he could have made more money and win many more games by being patient. He would have have stayed loyal to the Nuggets by playing one final season at his best to reward the Nuggets fans...
He had everything to win by being patient...
Yup... and this really confirms that Melo is less concerned about winning a title and more concerned with the $$- something many have been voicing around here.
You have to give Wade, Bosh, and James some credit for understanding that if they got all the money they could get they literally would have been playing 3 vs 5 every game.
Anthony does not seem to understand this from what has come out so far.
