[Stein] Melo will consider Rockets, Bulls and Mavs

No, you let him sleep in his bed.

Rockets were his 4th or 5th choice at best anyways.

 

Exactly. He chased the money, and now he has to pay for it. He should have pulled a LeBron and signed multiple one year deals to control the organization.

 

I don't think he leaves the East unless it's to LA, and I seriously doubt he wants to be second fiddle to Harden.

 

Going to have a nice paycheck.. but messed up not moving to Houston or Chicago.

 

Sounds like SAS speaking on behalf of players again as if he's the voice of the almighty.

Seriously... what would Carmelo expect? Was there some great offer out there for 2 superstars in their prime that was being offered that Phil passed on?

Its the freaking draft. You draft talent. You don't draft ready made superstars like Knicks fans, SAS, and Melo want. It just shows how idiotic fans like SAS are, and how dumb the Knicks are for paying Phil Jackson 60+ million dollars basically to call in draft picks.

I thought the Knicks actually had a great draft to get Kris & Grant where they did.

But yes, they absolutely should trade Melo, and I don't blame either Phil or Melo for resigning there last Summer. Melo got to get the most money, and Phil got to retain an asset they could trade later.

It is what it is. Somebody will trade for Melo. Its just that it wont be the Rockets most likely. If the Lakers miss out on Love/LMA they are a possibility. Maybe Dallas is able to move Parsons and get Melo. I dunno but he's a good player. Someone will trade for him.

 

Rockets loose time waiting for him, and Lowry finally resign in Toronto.

 

The Knicks have made move after move trying to win now, and that's why they suck. Porzingis was a good call because he represents the Knicks trying to be forward thinking for a change. Even if he doesn't pan out, at least they're rationally thinking, which is something that can't be said for the Knicks lately.

Melo shouldn't have resigned if he wanted to win now. At least he's got his money.

 

Melo.... We would welcome you with open arms.

 

Pretty much.

This was a good pick by the Knicks. Sure it was a risk, but that's what relying on the draft is. Karl Towns could bust out and this guy whose name I won't try to spell could become a perennial all-star. They both could bust or both become great. You never know...

But they could have done the bad thing yesterday. They could have traded this pick for Bledsoe or Lawson or some other win-now move which probably makes them a Eastern playoff team and nothing more.

 

No we will not. He is a money hungry lime light seeker.

 

My thoughts too. Not sure he'd be ok with not being the first option anyway. Do not want. Guy has a ton of talent, but is too selfish. Imo Carmelo could have been a much better player than he has become.

 

I always felt like Melo resigned with NY for the money and would force a trade once he had the contract in place. Otherwise his whole I want to win statements are utter bull ****.

 

Its funny how a team of melo, jr smith and shumpert couldnt win a game to save that utter disgrace of a franchise's life. Pair those guys with lebron and they look halfway decent. Funny how that works.

 

Melo would be great here, legitimate low post threat that can hit an open shot.

 

FIFY.

:grin:

 

So, has Melo ever had played with another Superstar?

No one can predict how he would turn out.

When I say superstar... I don't mean a washed up AI coached by Karl.

I personally think he would buy in.

 

I'd rather watch Dwight post up for 48 mins a game than have Carmelo on this team.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure some... If not most would welcome him.

Good to know you wouldn't.

 

It's not always about the most talent. Melo would not fit on this team. There are just not enough basketballs. Ariza is a better fit both chemistry wise and defensive talent. Melo is a primadonna who shuts it down when he doesn't get his way. It's not his team and he is not Lebron who can singlehandedly carry his team to the playoffs. He hasn't done anything in the playoffs. Just a prolific scorer who makes no one better around him.
