    As opposed to the "with Melo" first round exits the Knicks have been enjoying? You're obsessed. Nobody else with any passing knowledge of basketball gives up Gordon AND Ariza for Melo and the vast majority here don't give up even one of them.

    the OKC board is around the corner on the left, go there and have your Melo obsession

    all this crying over Melo as if he's Lebron, u must still think he's a superstar

    If moving Anderson into the corner can make his 3pt shot more consistent that would be a huge help.

    Morey read this thread, sent a memo to CP3 and Harden: No pass to Anderson unless he is in the corner.
    Result: Ryno averages 50% on 3s. Cavs offer Lebron for Ryno before trade deadline. Morey says nuh

    I was with you until you reached at thinking SOMEHOW mentally weak ryan is a better fit than Melo.

    You obviously never seen him play one Olympic game. Melo can hit wide open 3s just as good as ryan and hes a game altering superstar. Melo was a big loss and our chances are much lower with ryan. We simply have a long shot instead of a strong chance.

    Dude, the Melo ship has sailed. Ryan is not a star like Melo, but he is a very good role player in this system. He has no ego, he doesn't complain about touches, he will focus on catch and shoot all day if that's what MDA says.
    Can you guarantee the same things for Melo? Can you say Melo is definitely better at what we need Ryno to do?
    Melo is better at iso and creating his own shots, that is not a huge bonus when you have both Harden and CP3 conducting offense.
    I'm not saying Ryno is better player, I just think if Ryno can play at Toyota center as well as he plays on the road, he can be more valuable in this system than Melo.
