I agree. Not sure what they do to create a roster space though. Do you cut Thanasis? I don't think Sasha is going anywhere. Maybe trade Seraphin for a second rounder if a deal is out there.

Yeah, I'd try to trade Seraphin.

Isn't Thanasis's 10-day up soon?

We need a guy who can play NBA minutes. I really would like to take a look at Wroten.

I agree. Also, Wroten wants to be a Knick and wants a shot at redemption.

It seems like the front office has no interest in adding a point guard with athleticism and speed to push the pace with the ability to break down defenses. Don't ask me why. That's exactly what the team needs. I wouldn't care if Wroten missed his outside shots, as long as he kept pushing the ball and attacking the defense.

If the guy can't play big minutes or carry a team anymore, I don't know why the Knicks are keeping him. They can get 3 starters for his money. Get the re-build going sooner than later, because as much as I appreciate Melo's commitment to NY, he isn't able to carry a team like a franchise player yet is paid to be one.

Holy crap......Attention all Knicks fans....MELO HAS A NO TRADE CLAUSE, AGAIN......MELO HAS A NO TRADE CLAUSE. wow

what...? shut carmelo down, please. you know your best player and most expensive asset is hurting and you play him 40 mins coz you cant really coach.

this is going from bad to worse each day!
matter of fact give KP a week or two off as well to regroup himself, he's already played more mins than he did last year.

it's better to protect those two instead of letting something stupid happen.
let the bench players compete for playing time.

How quickly people turn words around and make them sound different. So i'm sure it wasn't before the game that he knew his knee was hurting him....SMDH.

So for all those that were saying last night was a 'moral victory' with the way the team came back in the 2nd half and almost pulled off the win. With Melo playing over 40 minutes and it still leading to a loss in a back to back scenario, how moral was that victory now with a certain L coming again against the Griz tonight. Maybe jose will drop 30 and save the day lol

This post is extremely ignorant for many different reasons. Your namesake Porzingis wouldn't have had anywhere near the level of success he did without Melo this year, I'm sorry to inform you. And I'm not saying this because I don't like Porzingis, I love KP. But I'm also not blind to what happens on the court like some of y'all.

Melo has been our MVP this season and a top 20 player in the league. If you can't admit that to yourself, it's on you.

Well said.

Do you really think this team is a playoff team anyway?? I mean lets give this some serious thought here. Fisher is talking about giving Thumpo minutes tonight which i love cause i've been rooting for this kid for a while but what's it matter cause this team isn't going anywhere this year anyway.

I may agree with you, and if that is the case, then we should definitely trade Melo for all the assets we can get right now before he gets any older and start playing all the young players like, KP, Jerian, D WILL, Thanasis and bring in even more young players like Wroten, Eliot Williams and others who have potential. Then it would be a true rebuild, not a half ass one. A decision needs to be made. You can't have it both ways. Either you're rebuilding, or you're not.

Maybe Fish needs to realize he is dealing with the NY media and censor his comments a bit. If he said I could see Melo was laboring but he didn't want to come out I think the reaction would be different.

Dolan is going to fire fisher after tonight.....you watch
