Melo to Washington for Porter (or Oubre) or Melo to Sixers for some assets would be OK by me.

Hopefully whoever strikes out with PG goes after Melo.

Fuq frank azzhole-ah. I love kp but a work related meeting is a meeting. And the reason for him not showing up to that at this early stage of his career is alarming.

I'm sure Melo loves his kid like most every other father but he's using him as a convenient excuse.

I'm guessing most NBA players have kids who's mothers they are not in relationships with and play in a different city then the kids in.

I really don't care about doing what's best for Melo at this point, but the ball is in his court and he's just going to hold it like usual.

I said all along he isn't going anywhere. He's made it clear many times that a title isn't that important to him and has tried to convince himself gold medals are just as good.

His ego couldn't handle being a third option on a good team..hed much rather continue to chuck shots on the Knicks and his fans can continue to point to his ppg average as trying to claim he's a great player.

Yeahhhhhhhhh... It's going to be pretty pretty awkward when KP has to report to team practice in a month or two.
