lol Taking a total of $9m less over 5 years, just so that he can avoid saying he took the MAX. Hilarious. Doesn't help his team in any way to save $1m on the cap. Too bad he chose to continue to stay in Lebron's shadow for his entire career. Hope he enjoys his money.
The drama over Melo was completely false and contrived. He was never going to leave the Knicks once the max offer was on the table. I don't believe for one minute he just made up his mind. Money and playing in NY are more important to him than competing for a championship.
He was staying all along. Don't know why other teams thought they had a chance. $50 million is A TON of money. And his family loves it there.
Man. He is going to be rich and have a very empty trophy case to show his kids. At least he is in his home state. Knicks will suck for a long time.
