Lol uh oh. Eternal internet beef.

I trademarked Melo and cancer? I'm of course not the first or only person to say that about him. But the other day, when someone brought to my attention how offensive or sensitive that word might be, I apologized immediately and haven't used that word since. I'm not a buffoon.

But you guys have it all wrong anyway. I'm not the PC police. Far from it. It's the fact that Greenie has tried to throw the rule book at me on a number of occasions, but is no stranger to bending the rules herself. I think we should all stop being soft and stop talking about the rules. This is Knicks realGM. We're gonna insult each other a lot.

If that was a little joke between you and Fatboy, then my bad. Like I said, Fatboy has thick skin.



Once again Bill, I'm not here for you and your crew.

We will beef forever. You all are beyond unfair and are irrational when it comes to Melo.

The insults between us is different. The tone alone should tell you that. So no, you and I can't insult one another because it will turn nasty. As it did with you specifically calling me a fat slob.

Me and FatBoy are cool. You and I? Nah. We ain't.


C'mon, Greenie. That hurts. If the Knicks win a championship, you don't see us patching things up and being friends?

With how cheap he is, makes sense to trade for him. I think NY is at the point where getting him off the books would be a win; get Cleveland to send Shump to like Hou for those unguaranteed contracts and trade Melo for those+Frye's expiring. Then they can find somewhere to move Love for some kind of athleticism and defense

I don't mind trading Melo, but Noah HAS to be attached in any deal. Not our problem to make it work, that's there job to figure it out. You want Melo, you take Noah.

The only two teams he'll go to are the two teams least likely to be able to get that done (or willing). Still cant believe he got that NTC

Just trade Melo for Jaylen Brown and maybe a projected mid round 1st rd pick....

If we make a trade with Boston(which I doubt) then I want either Jaylen Brown or one of those projected high 1st rd picks... if we can get both then it would be an absolute steal

Giving out from both those contracts should be compensation enough.........

One Fact to Consider Regarding a Melo Trade 

Post#1059 » by Awoooga » Tue Jul 4, 2017 12:31 am

When we traded JR Smith the narrative was he was a difficult contract to take on because at the time, JR had up to 2 years and ~12 million remaining.

Sure enough, JR had a decent (not great) year and ended up opting out of the second year of his deal.

Melo also has a player option after this year. Barring some crazy injury or tremendous drop in production, it seems unlikely to me that Melo won't opt out. He'll be in a much better position to get a 3-4 year deal at 34 than 35 and there's still a lot of interest in him.

Don't take on garbage long term deals (Anderson) in a Melo trade. A low first rounder isn't worth 40 million. Keep Melo or buy him out at the deadline with an agreement that he opts out. I hope this team can learn from past mistakes.
