Who are you to judge his situation?

....you are aware this came AFTER allegations of LaLa cheating with rapper, Maino (via twitter commemts from his wife), right?

And you are aware that as a dude with a **** and balls, **** happens? You can love your family and still sleep with women outside the marriage. I recall seeing stats that about 40% of men admit to stepping out of their marriage. But you can keep pretending you are holier than thou. I'm sure you're beating away 10s left and right on the daily.

I suppose there are those of us who have never strayed from the marital bed, and those who have.
In a knick forum, I wouldn't want to be judged either.

For all we know both of them might have been moving away from their marriage but TV shows, books and for the sake of their son have kept a more private profile. At some point that gets harder and harder. What we don't know is does this women entrapped melo or was his spawn a planned pregnancy?

When you live and profit from being a public figure with a reality TV show and endorse products based on an image, you kind of are fair game to judgement when you prove less than genuine. DR. J was called out when it became known he had a child out of wedlock all the while he was the first black cross over athlete on a national basis to endorse products as he was promoted as a family man. This came out during divorce proceedings after his son died and his marriage became unworkable as many do after the death of a child.
Dr J's image has been restored much in the aftermath but the hypocrisy was not lost on some when the news came out.

Jordan was the king of endorsements but kept to a large extent his family life out of the public realm. His marriage and kids were not part of his public persona so when he and his wife had a private split, he was not called out on it.

This will tarnish Melo's image a bit and would make it very hard to continue in New York UNLESS HE AND THE TEAM WERE TO BE SUCCESSFUL BY SOME DEFINITION! If not he would lose some support. The divorce is one thing, but even if consensual to have an open marriage, Melo and La La sold books as a loving couple, had a tv show and promoted themselves as a family. That is on them, not "JUDGEMENT".

This idea of Melo selling the public image of being a "family-man" with conservative "family values" is fictious. Guys like Stephen Curry does that with all his godly quotes, unncessary inclusion of his wife in public affairs, bringing his kid to the podium after games,etc.

Melo, on the other hand, has never followed this model. LaLa has had a public profile but that was established (and largely fizzled out) before she met Melo. And have you seen Melo dragging his kid around public as a prop? Does every other picture on his Instagram contain LaLa in it? Are they doing commericals together like Steph and Ayesha? For the most part, it seems those two have tried to keep their family life private.

This is going more public. Also, they split about three years ago. I'd say this is not weighing heavy on Melo's mind as they have been at this for some time.
From everything written, this has not been a great marriage for some time. That matters because if it was a more recent event and it messed with him it could matter regarding "fixing" his head and and his game going forward.
but if this is been the case where she is off doing movies, him doing his thing then the emotional bonds thin out and people move on.

Melo, like many athletes should not marry as the temptations of what he is presented with being an attractive and super wealthy young man is way beyond what most can comprehend.
For that I don't "Blame him or judge him". IM not condoning or condemning him. Man has an obligation to his contract to his employer and fellow employees to perform. Thats his coach, players and training staff down to the guy that mops the floor!

But when you live a public life, sell that as an endorsement, then you give up certain rights to privacy. Celebrities pay a price for their fame. Thats their choice.

I also agree that while having extramarital affairs is despicable, we should not rush to judge Melo, since it is not yet clear whether it was he or LaLa who cheated first.

As for Fish, he was a family guy who had a daughter who was very ill but got better. Fish divorced his wife in a devastating manner from what I read. He sort of just bailed on her with little warning to her. I don't have any details or knowledge. The Govan thing was he told team he was going back west to be with his kids. Nothing wrong with who and what he does, but to have a high profile incident was embarrassing on a lot of levels. But "embarrassing" is not a crime or reason to be fired.

MY take was a players life is about taking care of business on the court and taking care of your body. A coach has a more cerebral job and it seems he just did not make the transition from being a player to that. I think he would be a good coach someday and this experience will help him. I would think he'll get another chance but he might have to be an assistant first, which sucks after being top dog in his first gig! I think phil could over look much of this short comings as he had just retired as a player. Phil had played the game, and then became a coach. HE gets it. I think the thing in my opinion was if your not a finished product, and not open to being mentored as he was, then its a problem for Phil. Just guessing. Team was losing and if fish was messing with players girls then he was cooked and not coming back from that.
