    Melo: DO NOT report to media day or practice. Go awol bruh. *** it.

    This is bigger than basketball- this about the man trying to keep you down / punishment for not opening up to more teams.

    This is such hoursesh--. Players do care about trades. There is numerous examples of players playing worse because their name was mentioned. Melos is the opposite. He didn't get traded ... well ... Let me see what I can do. He won't be openly critical, but would be interesting to hear stories in a couple yrs.

    A dotard like Dolan, unfit to run an Arby's kiosk let alone a NBA franchise, should have his team seized by the NBA and sold to a more worthy owner.

    Dork Elvis squeezing the balls and the New York Media is playing right into his master plan.

    3-D Spock Chess... It's not fair.

    If you look at Scott Perry and Steve Mills there is definitely a disagreement. Perry speaking as if he wants to keep Melo. Mills wants to trade him

    I feel like some Clutchfans were expecting Him to say we have traded Melo to the Rockets this morning.

    One interesting thing I caught was when Hornacek was answering a question, he used the word "if" and then abruptly stopped himself and re-routed his words. He was going to say "if Carmelo is here". It sounds to me like they were instructed to shape all statements from the standpoint that Carmelo would be a Knick.

    Still waiting for the BIG question...."did you, or someone in the organization, promise to trade Melo?"

    Fully expect a response of "We aren't going to talk about who said what...we are looking forward to having Melo here on Monday."

    Knew it, called it, etc.

    Clutchfans having faith in the Knicks of all teams to show good will to melo and take a negative deal was the biggest running joke of the summer. Played yourselves.

    Imagine your boss in a company memo saying "Well Jim is technically an employee at XYZ Corp, but I can't say anything else about that".

    What a ringing endorsement. Would love to work there. Seriously though... this is exactly what I said would happen months ago. And they are going to drag him to camp and drag him through the mud during the regular season until he asks for a buyout at 75 cents to a dollar unless he expands his trade list which is what they want. If they can't have that, they want to save money on a buyout. Because they are the Knicks, and shame on anyone here who thought they were going to handle this like a normal rationally thinking place of work that cares about their people.

    Knicks will try and put a positive spin on things and shape a certain narrative, but what they say and how they really feel could be 2 different things

    ""Right now Kyrie Irving is under contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers for two or three years depending on the last year, so as of now, he's one of our best players, and sure, we expect him to be in camp," Gilbert said."
