Kane, was the interview the link that you posted? Because if it was it is exactly as I thought it was (Melo playing the game). I think the impression he was trying to get across is that his mind isn't made up and it's very hard for him and he cares about everyone but ultimately he will be forced to weight everything and do whats best for his family. When you look at what the "Knicks" have to offer (closest of the three teams to contention, his first choice or "ultimate dream", resources, youth with Amare and Felton, one of the three guys if you believe we would have to give up two of them. Cap space if he waits so we can keep two of three. How does he go anywhere else??
Yeah thats the interview. Everything you say makes total sense. I think the same things. But its all speculation from us the fans of the knicks. Its what we do to convince ourselves. He didnt look excited about NJ. But his face lit up on the prospect of playing in brooklyn.
It IS a game, like you said. The same game Lebron played. He can deny it. But if he didnt want to make a big stink about it, he would not have done a ESPN interview talking about the decision he makes and weighing out his options. I was dead set that the opportunity's available to James in NY were to much to pass up. And he was just being coy.
I do think NYK is his number one option. I dont think they trade him to NYK. Forcing him to consider NJ. A team that will become BK. And it seems like something he is now considering. And he sure looked genuinely happy talking about brooklyn.
Maybe he is a great actor. But I wont be fooled again. This dude is playing games. Not
exactly the same game James played. But its very similar. Amare, his so called buddy on the other hand, didnt play the game. And ironically is not down with the team that masterminded the game. Unlike anthony.
