Melo never changed his game to fit his capabilities over time.

We see YouTubeLebron hitting weights until they cry uncle. We see YouTubeMelo running drills in a hoodie.

Funny, earlier in the season, when Melo was killing it, nobody was posting sheehit. Interesting.

Bitterness doesn't become you martin. Didn't I just sort of call Melo fat?

Our only hope is if we strike gold in the draft, even when we have faith in the front office, Dolan puts the cabosh on any rebuild as soon as we start to turn the corner.

Like these Kawhi rumors, sure trade away our future #1 picks both lottery bound picks and a young up and coming player in frank for a system star who is injured. If I’m San Antonio I’m dancing a Jij, the New York knicks just bailed out our rebuild, We’ll be back in the playoffs in no time !

Meanwhile we end up with no future and two broke down stars around a bunch of average to below average role players and no first round picks. Sounds like Deja vu for the tenth time since Ewing got traded.

When are we actually going to trust the process of a real rebuild with no bailouts, I guess when Dolan sells the team and when that happens let’s mark it down as the day the Knicks were reborn and turn it into a holiday .

don't know don't care. Melo plays for a different team and has been a waste of a body for OKC and is nearly done as a player. Wake me up when he scores again in a 4th quarter or has an impact on a playoff game.

Melo has been exposed for what we already knew him to be - a one dimensional, no defense iso-chucker.
Saying "I told you so" seems to be woefully inadequate at this point. There will always be those that will try to blame Phil for this.

Dude's got a rep for being a poor playoff performer and his first trip back he's just terrible. not having to pay him $28mm next year to be "the man" while he holds the ball is worth it. Knicks are poised to take a nice step forward next year

It's easy to be down after this year, but Knicks do have a nice group moving forward. Porzingis, Ntilikina, Hardaway, Burke, and 2018 1st round pick is a great core group. What we need to do is find a 2nd star to put alongside Porzingis without sacrificing any piece from the core listed. Hardaway is a solid 3rd scorer. Ntilikina should be a fantastic 2-way role player and long-term starter. Burke looks like he will be a nice playmaking guard moving forward. We need that number 1A or 1B guy and the rest will fall into place.

Hardaway matured and played defense for coach bud. Therefore if we secure Coach B then keep Hardaway despite his anemic shooting percentages and lack of D. He’s a #4 for me.

Has anyone said that Phil is responsible for Melo's on court play?

Actually yes, if I remember correctly. You have, multiple times claimed Phil's mind games was affecting Melo's play. You main theme was the team was winning before Phil called out Melo and then we started losing because Melo sucked ass. Others too, the usual Mello fans. So yes, it's not a stretch to think you would try to blame Phil for how Mello is playing in OKC.

Melo didn't even take the first round exit too hard, - oh, well another lost season - next year will be different - maybe a new coach or GM or whatever - you'll see...
