Nah.. but he needed to say something like this:
More Melo on #Lin: "I hope we get it done, man. I would love to see him back, honestly. I would definitely love to see him back."
He should've said it from the beginning... but now after the fact I'm supposed to give him credit for it? FOH
He's a 9 year vet.. act like it. Jalen Rose said the same exact thing.
Now I'm not of the thinking Melo didn't want Lin in NY like the other posters... I've just spoke on the ridiculous comment.
I think he said that he wanted Lin back but he then went on to talk about the ridiculous contract. He should have just not talked about the contract. Really, it's not that hard.

Melo was asked after tonight's game about his characterization of Lin's contract as being "ridiculous." Here's his answer in next tweet.

Melo: "It was ridiculous for them to do what they did, as far as throwing that out there and making it tougher on us to sign him back."
