League Union went crazy and wanted Phil burned at the stake when Phil said Melo if he wants to win should move on. We were told Melo wanted to be with his kid and loves it in NY.
I did respect Melo when he did say he wanted to stay with his kid. If he dug in and made amendments to his game (He will in Houstan!!!) I could have been fine with him returning.

He will have to change his game to play with Harden and CP3. He will have to accept MDA. He could have done all this in NY. I realize with his marital situation changing he could have still done this to be with his kid.
With Phil gone could he have made it work with Jeff?
If Team is commited to being younger and moveing forward, why are we so upset with Mills heading this? Melo here was not a mills creation. The fact Dolan is willing to trade him to move forward is telling is it not?
Should we be happy Mills is doing a youth movement? We never did any of this before.

Fans should be happy.

I just have such a hard time relating to the mindset this even occurs to.

It's basketball, it's fun.

Who gives a **** about his personal life?

GTHOH! The biggest hypocrisy is fans thinking they know anything about a players personal life or happenings behind the scenes of a pro sports team. And then say negative personal things on fan forums as fact while sitting in their one bedroom apartment with a ****ty job, hating on the ones that did something in life. Keep it to basketball.

Your right though, Melo should have changed his game for the likes of Lin, Jeffries, Balkman, Fields and Crippled Stat. Cuz they probably were at the same level as Harden and CP3 are today. And Melo was not at his peak. Btw, didn't realize a trade was official.

Even if he doesn't adapt - that wouldn't be up to Melo in Houston. Pretty sure the guy who just signed a contract for $228 million would have more pull.

That said, I heard Harden isn't a big D'Antoni fan either...despite the success he's had with him.

When it comes to Melo and his personal life, that's his business and only he and his family know the details of their situation. So I am not going to pass judgement on Melo, his kid, and his family dynamic. And you haven't heard Melo say a word about his kid, it's all been 2nd and 3rd hand sources. Regardless, it's none of our business and for all we know he may have made an arrangement where he could see his kid living Houston almost as much as he would've living in NYC apart from his wife once the season begins.

This I agree with

Break up their families cuz they are horney.
Do I care about any of this before? No. In fact, I've kept it all on the court.
Why bring it up know? Not me, its La La. IT was the push back by the players Union. It was KP sticking up for Melo.
The hypocrisy of making his way to NY to play with knicks, then coached by MDA. He wanted him gone. Now he going again to a MDA coached team. Im sure its all be agreed upon.
The Hypocrisy of "recruiting".
The Hypocrisy of "reports" (but never denied) that he wanted to stay for his son. But he go for CP3.
Nalod bought into this and was ok with Melo for the most part except his not living up to promises made.
Again, I was ok with him wanting to stay.

Must be nice to live in a world where good dads don't ever make mistakes. Air must be really rare down there in NC.

You have any issue with Mr. LookAtMyFeetStupidMothers not living up to anything near a million a month? Any "Hypocrisy" you wouldn't mind bringing up there?

The "Hypocrisy" of a player saying he wants to stay here, but realizing the remaining management wants him to go anyway.

The "Hypocrisy" of someone changing their minds based on changing circumstances, based on possibly one of the worst wastes of $70+ mil since Noah. Maybe Mills reads the UK and figured out having a bunch of Melo-less yoots who couldn't score 80 points a night if their lives depended on it was a compelling reason to get a hired shooter while looking like his own man at the same time.
