^^there is no way he was going to choose this slop over that squad the Knicks had with Amare. He wanted his cake and to eat it too.
I would love to hear more of that interview but, saying he didn't want NY and back then he said he'll go to the Nets... He wanted whatever team took him and paid him. He wanted that money over everything else. He didn't give two shyts about our HC or the system we played. He didn't give a shyt about what it cost to get him. He wanted that Max deal before the CBA expired. I believe they were already talking about moving to Brooklyn then too. Either way... He wanted his money over everything else.
my recollection is that your version is correct.

Melo wanted his money, but he was using the Nets at leverage against the Knicks.
Both of you, please watch this interview from that time, and yall both tell me with a straight face that Melo wanted to go play in NEWARK for a 24 win Nets team my memory isn't that bad now
Melo: "WHO???? "
