Read a blurb in the last 24 hours (sorry no link) that Earl was ok with him using his number.

It is retured for Dick McGuire.

I would urge for Melo to not go there. He has not earned a thing here other than a big contract.

Earl has no choice but to publically state he is cool with it than risk looking bad.

Numbers are retired for a reason. We should uphold this honor and not break rank. Im sure Melo wants his number back but as a knick its not his to "Keep". It's Earl the Pearl! Its Dick McGuire's and Earl should not even be asked.

Let Melo carve his own identity and perhaps we can one day grace his number in the rafters as well as Amare!

I'm not okay with it. The number is retired. best case scenario: team wins a chip and Melo's number gets retired too. Don't want to see three 15s in the rafters. Might as well make all our talented players wear 15

When are they going to retire 30?

The only thing I don't like is the number he picked. He looks too much like Al Buckets with the 7 and the headband.

classless. Why doesn't he go with either 22 or 65?
