Now that he has two all stars around him with a complement of players that can win it all his assist numbers have been cut from 2.8 per game to 1.9 per game.Even with a elite team around him, he is a net negative player (BPM = - 0.5) with a VORP of 0.1 - which essentially means his "performance" is exactly equal to the average replacement player. But the trolls will tell you he deserves all of his $25M - being a player of his "stature". I am sure he is playing even worse because of the residual effects of having to play the triangle for half a season last year, yeah that must be it.
That's all you need to know about Queen Melo and the trolls of the round table.
Yeah. Why don't you go back to your old user name from 6 years ago?
Posters who would never STFU about Melo, EVER. Calling other posters "trolls". Now Ive heard everything.
How about posters who never STFU about Phil, EVER? Thoughts on those? At least I don't build a web of hypocrisy to hide behind. I hate Melo and what he did to the Knicks - never claimed otherwise.
One player vs one Exec with all the power, who remade the roster, gave Melo that NTC. whose decisions are still being felt by the team. Big fing difference. I would love to put Phil in the past, if we dont have any more moronic threads about missing the Triangle, not missing Melo etc etc.. Havent see any threads for some time about not missing Phil.
As for you, dont care if you had another handle. You joined this board, gave yourself that username, with the clear intent to troll this board endlessly over Melo (which you have) until he was gone.
Now you are trying to rewrite history. Trying to paper over that you have been since joining under this username, one of the most divisive posters on this board. Not buying what you're selling, never have.
No idea what you are talking about? What have I papered over and rewritten? I am KNICKS fan and not a Melo fan and I have wanted him gone from day 1. What is there to paper over? I just said it, AGAIN - I HATE MELO. Hasn't changed, won't change EVER.
You can call me divisive all you want, I post what I believe and the way I see it. I don't sugar coat the ****. We were **** for 6 years, glad he is gone.
I was pointing out the flaws in Melo's game on this board, years before you started posting here under this username. Just didnt obsess over the holes in his game like you have, given the serious lack of talent that surrounded Melo for the bulk of his time in NY.
Melo took up most of your time here, not the Knicks. You found a way to work Melo into many an unrelated conversation. I cant sugarcoat the dead horse you beat.
He was the face the franchise that he castrated. He was what was destroying the Knicks and I was hell bent on seeing him gone. I responded to a poster who created a thread about Melo - if this was unrelated to Melo, forgive me.
But honestly the OP didn't ask anything about Phil - now go look at the first two pages again.
This exchange is about you calling other posters "trolls" who weren't as down on Melo as you were. If you arent a hypocrite as you say. The handle, the endless Melo comments, regardless of the subject, should make you consider that calling other posters "trolls" is at least problematic.
I defended most of Phil's moves up to the Rose/Noah deal. Anyone who tries to infer that I was always criticizing Phil, can look at the first few years he was here.
You like Melo so much that you still need to make your username about him? Hmmmmmmmm
