    Yes. It seems to me that there are 50 championship rings in each year.

    players get 20 to 25 rings, coaches, doctors, accountants, office clerk etc ...

    u can’t just start a guy because his ego is too fragile to accept a bench role, that’s ridiculous...we don’t negotiate with washed scrubs

    How is Melo gonna think he’s too good for a bench role after his stint in OKC? Now he’s looking for his 3rd team since the summer of 2017.

    Everyone knows that Melo is a waster for Rockets. They would ask for future first round pick to take him?

    This is the best solution. The team handled it well. And keeping him on the roster, but making clear he is gone is also the best way to handle it, both for him and for us - can use him in trades still after Dec. 15.

    End of Melo.
    Banana Boat will blame Chris Paul and James Harden.

    I don't think so, his trade value decreases. If Melo plays, he has more trade value.
    Now he has negative trade value.

    Carmelo is a loser, always has been, always will be. (but but but NCAA/Olympics! :rolleyes:)

    Congrats on being a scorer?
    Made it out of the first once in Denver?
    Wanted to leave, had to be in-season so he could get his max deal from NY instead of waiting until summer. Not that the Knicks are blameless, traded away half the team.
    No success in New York either. (2nd round once, whoopee!)
    Chance to leave; Bulls-Rockets-Mavs-Lakers-maybe some other teams I'm forgetting? Nope, give me that max contract!
    NY-OKC-ATL-HOU-?

    You have those guys who you hate when they're on the other team (say ... Chris Paul, Jason Terry, PatBev) but like when they're on your side but I could never support this loser.

    Carmelo: Me, myself & I.

    Best of luck in China or Europe. You'll be a "star", get all the attention, all the shots & everything you seek there. #StayMe7o
