    Melo now is going to be the worst cancer on that team since they won't let him go lol...

    I hate how all of a sudden they think they are going to get a king's ransom for him.

    That's why they were so offended. That might be the offer from us. :D

    the knicks are looking at this all wrong. a more competitive nba means higher viewership and more revenue via profit sharing and distribution for everyone, including the knicks.

    trade melo to the cavs or rockets and create a more competitive nba. last year the nba could have done way better if the warriors had some comp

    get what you can and move forward

    He wants out and has a no trade clause. They are lucky they don't have to buy him out. New guy will realize this soon,

    Member posted his wife's cousin works for ESPN and that individual texted that a deal was made for
    Melo going to Houston.

    I'm going to say I believe it. I expect it to be announced hours after CP3 ceremonies. Friday evening.
    Just a hunch. Yeah, I'm going with that.

    This has become a **** show.
    Tired of this crap already.
    You're either doing the trade or not.
    F5 no more....
    Going back to my wonderful life now.
    Hey Knicks......call us when you're serious about doing business.
    Until then, lets welcome Chris Paul to H-town

    Looks like their new FO wants to keep him. Melo never wanted to leave, but probably felt disrespected because of Phil trashing him to the media.

    So.... welp.

    Not surprised. When I heard the Knicks would be getting a new GM, I thought they may want to get him on board before pulling the trigger.

    Sounds like a bathroom break to me...

    Honestly, it sounds like due diligence from new management, which everyone expects Melo to reject. At which point, the trade talks resume...

    The season doesn't start for another 3+ months. Could be a long summer.

    so carmelo is supposed to want to play for knicks due to new weirdo gm during last few years of career instead of next to harden and chris paul?

    talk about trying to assert your relevance. this is a power play that will not work. idk if it means the rockets will still end up with him but melo will force his way out of there or this will get ugly.

    "unlikely that Anthony will respond with eagerness" LMAO

    There's video of people in the organization laughing at his workout videos during summer league games. He's done with Dolan and that whole team.

    The Knicks now own the distinction as the dumbest organization in the NBA.
