Picks, Cap space, good young player core. Phil did exactly what you are supposed to do to rebuild a franchise!
Melo plays for himself. This is an all time STUPID move.
Phil came to a Knicks team in terrible shape, especially regarding our draft picks, and Phil's first big decision was his biggest mistake...
Signed Melo, who had just chosen to opt out of the final year of his first Knicks contract, when he should have seen this as an opportunity to start over- do a sign and trade for picks and do a real rebuild.
Not sure if Dolan had a role in resigning Anthony but that contract and its NTC and trade penalty was one of the worst ever. Hopefully we find out the real story of that signing at some point, but my feeling was that we should have cut ties with Anthony at that time and used his value, which was high, to get some draft picks.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
