He's genuinely trying to turn the Knicks into a winner and putting in max effort in that regard.
Something that Melo has NEVER done here.
This bizarre narrative that Melo is being disrespected and not being treated right is sort of mind boggling. If he played the game the right way and simply acted like at true franchise player and professional, and this is without regard to wins or losses, the Knicks would have zero desire to trade him.
This is true for ALL OF LIFE, not just the NBA. A man's value is the value he brings to the world every single day. If you can play defense but you just don't care, you are not presenting maximum value to your situation. You are showing you are disposable. If you can help your team win but you don't care, you are not presenting maximum value to your situation. You, again, are showing you are disposable. The list can go on and on about what Melo COULD DO for the betterment of the franchise, it's just that he DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN.
I always akin a NBA franchise player and a franchise, the relationship like a "marriage"
Act like marriage material and no one wants to divorce you.
Present no value ( stop blowing, stop cooking, stop cleaning, stop working, keep nagging, keep being a headache) and someone will want to dump you.
The Knicks are NOT trying to fire Melo off this team. Melo QUIT ON THIS ENTIRE TEAM and has done so for years. Everyone here has a right to their "fandom", if you think that's OK, then you think it's OK, it's your right. Just never say the name on the front of the jersey means more than the name on the back. Just never say you love the Knicks, because how can you love the Knicks if you'd rather see them lose rather than win because that's the ONLY way to RATIONALIZE Melo's indifference and failures to just give max effort.
