This just shows how out of touch he is and has always been with reality. This is why he doesn't have trade value.

It takes a person of Dolan's stupidity to trade for this crap.

The Knicks traded for Melo when he was 26. I thought this thread was about 33 yr old Melo with an almost max deal, ntc, and a 15 million dollar trade kicker.

Exactly. Huge difference. We got melo entering his prime. We traded him at the tail end of it. For some reason he still sees himself as this elite player who is absolutely insulted at the suggestion of coming off the bench. Dude is about to turn 34. He was a great scorer, but has lost much of that. He could be a decent 6th man at this stage of his career but he sees himself above that still, which will be a big problem for him at this point moving forward. But melo now vs when we got him is a huge difference.

The point is it doesn't matter where Melo was in his talent cycle, the trade sucked ass because he still had the same exact crappy attitude. Melo has always been about Melo.

Anyone trying to build a team would pass on him. Only people trying to build Carmelo's starting five enamored with the next first round exit, would sign up for this loser.

Some people refuse to see the forest for the trees.
