I think we all know right now Melo calls the shots. He is the GM of the team as of now. Mills is sleeping at the wheel and everyone else in the organization is afraid to make a move.

If I was going to accept a much smaller than max contract I would also want input on trades.

Melo is not qualified. He can barely express himself verbally. He's not Lebron Wade or bosh

Screw that. You want a say in trades? Sign an extension or kick rocks.

I certainly hope they consult him. Be nice to know upfront from him which players/coaches he will, or will not (Amare, MDA, Lin) agree to work with

Get wit da program. Melo is the man so get it in your head. And if you don't like it ain't a damn thing you can do about it. So that talk about him not being able to express himself verbally don't mean a thing. His pockets are deep with more money you will see in a life time unless you hit the lottery.

When Melo 1st came to the knicks for him it was about the glamor, the hype, the money.

Now the window is closing he still wants to get the glamor and hype in pursuit of a championship,

So did they ask Melo if he's maybe rethought his stand on potentially playing with Jeremy?

Im a big Knicks fans but teh chances of the Knicks getting anywhere near a title with melo are kind of slim. Thats not a jab at melo its just that we have guven away too many assets/picks. I mean unless we get incredibly lucky and get the top 2/3 FA in 2015 but i dont see it

Texas and Florida all have much less tax and will have the ability to offer Melo a decent contract
Any one of these teams offer's Melo a much better chance in competing for a title next season, especially if Melo is really willing to take "less"

SA (with Tim Duncan's opt out or/and retire, could also opt out for a bigger paycut for a last chance to add to his career)

Mavericks (Dirk is a UFA with a few others, and they about 26m in committed salaries)

Houston (all depending on if they can move Lin and Asik for expirings, could have 40m in salaries if they do move them)

Heat (if Lebron, Bosh, Wade all opt out, they can recruit and take less, adding their buddy Melo to climb Mount Rushmore and Jordan's 5 beat's 1 comments)

Orlando has many young players and only 35m in contracts this summer

It would be funny/typical/sad/ironic (pick any one) if the Knicks traded for Asik and Lin then HOU swooped in in the of rason and signed away Melo with their newfound cap space.
