    Anderson or Harkless or whoever. They're stating right now that they rather take the cap space than take back on whatever they were getting. You're too focus on the Anderson part of my post.

    Considering it was Melo himself positioning to go to the Rockets, I find the Knicks thinking confusing. Then again, it is the Knicks.

    This is what I mean.

    The knicks are THE MOST dysfunctional org in all of sports. Asking them for basic stuff like this is too iuch.

    This new GM came from a team that cut bait on an unhappy star at the trade deadline and got a whole crop of draft picks for doing so.


    So naturally his bright idea when he gets to the Knicks is to do the exact opposite smh

    Ok Fatburne. Knicks may want Melo to stay but Melo sure doesn't want any part of that crap organization

    No, I was too focused on your post being incorrect.

    If you think a GM wants their max contract star to be a terrible influence in the locker room and on the court for someone such as Porzingis, let alone the rest of the organisation, then I don't think you've ever played a team sport before.

    CRAP, I'm SUUUUUPER nervous now!!! Once the Knicks tell Melo that they are signing Rondo, Melo will definitely want to stay in NY. Man, the Knicks sure are a smart organization. Maybe we could trade GMs with them, Morey doesn't hold a candle to those NY negotiators...

    Explain to me, how you think a team is going to let a disgruntled player sit and fester within the locker room for two more seasons. Just to get that cap space.

    The Knicks are in a corner, much the same way you are in 3 posts.

    Please, give me a break. They ain't keeping him there against his will. No new gm is going to want to start off like that. He's as good as go e if he wants it.

    Knicks need to move him unless melo has a change of heart.

    They can't wait until the trade deadline imo.

    You might be giving the Knicks too much credit. Sure no competent organization would do that.....but we aren't talking about them.

    If he does, he does. Him REALLY wanting to be here is probably the biggest factor in whether or not it will work.
