Yes. PJ is loathed by many but he was spot on in a tsunami of inherited mismanagement.

Or another guy great at dunk contests.

Phil had nothing to do with this. 2016 we swapped picks with Nuggs as part of the Melo trade February 2011. Soon to be 10 years since.
Since we picked 7th and Denver 9th, they exercised the swap.
Are you that upset? You think Murray coulda been a Knick?
But we had 7 seasons of Melo, right? Thats not the point really. Jrod can chime in on that one.
The point is we traded the pick for Bargnani. Remember the 5 Knicks that retired after we won 54 games that we all so revered? Well Knicks (Let’s not blame anyone since nobody gets this right anyway) traded the pick for Bargnani. So this was not about Denver swapping. This was about trying to keep respectability. While some like to blame Grunwald, the fact was the trade was done because our talent was so thin from the Melo trade and subsequent age of the team. It was unsustainable. The rest we know like the back of our hand.
I’d like to think we would have run Murray out of town anyway instead of waiting 4 years for him to blow up.
As much as fan’s think they know ****, we have hindsight and get to think we do. We’d suck at this.

You've got to admit, threads about 10 year old trades and a guy drafted 4 years ago is pretty damned random. His last thread was about being happy Melo signed with Portland... "I am to be great Melo fan, but I breathes many sighs of happy relief he is not here..."

And yet, is anything truly random?... which reminds me of a song...

I didn’t see it liked that but then I don’t keep a vigil, Shrine or petition campaign to the Vatican for Melo’s sainthood. My obsession is a fair and just balance of Frank critics and making sure we maintain no fake news.
In all actuality its not even frank but riding the 1248 until he shakes his head and leaves us. “What an ******* tat nalod is, I’m done”. I can live with that.
As for your MeloNosis, that I respect of you. Never let him down!
In times of covid we need things to believe in! Some carry the torch of trumpism, the goodness of BLM, some are misguided but intend well with any Blue line matter rhetoric. Ridding our society of Confederate monuments is a noble cause.
Burning the flame of Meloism and developing a vaccine for 1248’s fictitious output are worthy quests! Never give in!!!
