He is part of a well run organization now with a very good coach and possibly the best gm on the planet. He also is playing with talented players. It was a good move for him.

But fans have every right to hate on melo the player, nobody wants him injured, or should feel sorry for him. I’m sure it burns him on the inside that he became the biggest star looser in the nba, he failed to elevate his teammates games with his play. He’ll never be a leader like Jordan,Kobe,O’Neal, lebron, magic, bird, Ewing. Melo is a second or third tier star, an’t no shame he’s just not as good. |

All of us can only be who we are. I agree, in hindsight Melo is no better than the #2 guy on a top flight team yet he was put in the position of being the top dog. Would Kevin McHale be who he is if he had to be the top dog in Boston instead of Bird?Welpee wrote:reub wrote:I'm glad we can move on from Melo too, but how much longer are the Melo haters going to keep this up?

But I think folks should really reexamine why they're exercising their "right" to hate on Melo and ask is it really fair. |

Yeah, please cry for poor Melo... |

I mean I cant remember a player whos had a such a blind group of devout followers who make excuses for every one of his shortcomings and failures. It gets old and Im happy to move on from it. Like we got a great 3/4 of a season from Amare we got a great season from Melo and it was fun. The rest of it was poor play on bad teams. Yea... most of Melo's teams here sucked. Thats not on him. In 7 years here he proved his reputation for apathetic defense, holding the ball and shooting his team out of the playoffs every year.fitzfarm wrote:Hating on him because he's not among the greatest of all time or the greatest Knick of all-time?

That being said I am feeling better and better about the trade. I like the trio of Willy/KP/Kanter up front to grow and evaluate. Maybe one gets traded. Maybe Kanter or Willy become a great bench option. Kanter certainly was last year. McBuckets could also be a useful player. He's not a good defender but he tries. He reminds me of Allan Houston in that regard. He's got a sweet stroke, and we have an offensive coach. I think we did OK overall. Would have been nice to get a young defensive 3, like the Portland kid but we did OK. Now its up the FO and coaches to get these guys involved. I do like our depth and I think that will challenge the team to be better. Fighting for minutes isnt a bad thing. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

jrodmc wrote:yeah! KP is just like Ewing! Except for the fact that Ewing managed to drag pathetic Knick teams to the playoffs every year! Except that it didn't take Ewing 2 seasons to develop a post game! Yeah! Other than little things like winning games, KP is exactly like Ewing! Ewing was a 23 year old Rookie whereas KP came in as a 20 yr old. KP may never be Ewing or he could end up better! It's still an open question but KP has shown a BOATLOAD of potential already. They're of course totally different players so there's no direct comparison but this year KP can assume leadership of the team! I'm not sure why there's a salty attitude towards KP given he's our first legit drafted talent with franchise potential since Ewing. Why kick dirt on him given his age and considerable potential?
