Just get it fixed. I wonder if he had it done in December, he may be coming back now.

Because anyone worth chunks of 2015/2016 cap money is just dying to play with .... Lance Thomas.

agreed... melo was brought here by dolan and is being paid by dolan to generate revenue, not win titles. nothing wrong with that. it's dolan's team, he's the owner, and everything remains an extension of dolan and his values and character.

agreed... when you don't honor your contract because of a looming labor dispute, and you force your way to a team, gutting it in the process, then at some point you have to take ownership of that and perform even if you have a boo boo. after all basketball is a game and a business.

you have fun and make money.

and of course when you manage to rid the team of its coach, a player who saved a season, then that's just forestalling the inevitable, namely that you have to go to work in meaningless games. and when the entire franchise has been catering to your needs for 4 years with nothing to show for it, then it's time to suck it up and go to work in meaningless games.

but it's still a game so have fun and make money.

and when you have signed a contract for 124 million dollars with a no trade agreement, then it really doesn't matter what you do, sit or play, meaningful games, meaningless games.

just go out and have fun doing what you do best. having fun and making money, and oh-- i almost forgot-- promote your brand which extends far above and beyond the game of basketball anyway....

nothing wrong with that.

dolan's happy, the fanbase is being entertained. that's all that really matters.

so go out there and have fun, and make money. it's a shame that the other folks aren't as fortunate, neither having fun nor making as much money, but oh well la dee dah

Your continued focus on one individual have blinded you to all else happening in the organization...

At this moment, the "organization" IS Melo and Dolan. You don't think that Anthony could end his season with a simple call to Phil? Just had a thread where some wanted to gut the entire roster and start building around Anthony. Do you really think you can build around a guy who is 31 in a few months if he is recovering from knee surgery. Age and injury in a sport that requires athleticism is a bad formula for future success.

Anthony has little value if he becomes another Amare. Not saying that this will ever be the case, but Dolan and Phil have wed themselves to Anthony at great cost, and this team will be limited beyond belief if Anthony is not playing like a star because of injury.

If Anthony is to be the "face" of this team, he has to be on the floor and healthy. I don't have much trust in the doctors used by this team, and prefer to do things the safe way by sitting him down from now on. It benefits Anthony and the future of the team, and also helps us get a higher slot in the draft.
