Re: official Melo trade speculation - thread 2
He's not getting bought out and if the Celtics get Paul George and Gordon Hayward then Melo will have increased his trade value.

Re: official Melo trade speculation - thread 2
Yeah, no way to a buyout. If he wants his money, he can drop the NTC and get traded to a team that will give us something in return. Otherwise, we're paying him to play somewhere else for nothing.
His choice.
His choice.

Re: official Melo trade speculation - thread 2
Marc Stein is reporting that Melo's preference is to remain in NY but at the same time trying to get bought out. So if he gets bought out the only team he should sign with is Brooklyn. If he signs with another team without giving us a chance to trade him there, his staying in NY story was bullsheeeit. Same people that are writing he wants to stay close to his only son are writing he'll go to Cleveland if bought out. Are we buying out his feelings for his son too?

Hahn was talking today about Melo doing Knicks a favor and waving his NTC so his legacy with NY stays positive.

Re: official Melo trade speculation - thread 2
That's actually kinda smart by Phil
Putting it out there that while we want Melo gone, we're not just gonna let him walk to a contender, they have to trade for him
Melo isn't actively hurting the locker room, and while the situation is indeed awkward, there has been worse player-FO relationships. If we don't get an offer, it really doesn't hurt us too much to just sit on our hands

Re: official Melo trade speculation - thread 2
Melo is the worst thing that ever happened to the knicks.
Besides that 1 fluke 54 win season his tenure here has been an abomination.
From jeremy lin to mike dantoni to even now with porzingis he has ruined everything.

Re: official Melo trade speculation - thread 2
Does Cavs even want Melo if they need to give two or three rotation players + picks?
Was Phil serious when he said in his interview after the season, that he wont trade Melo for scraps..
So we actually need to find team who wants Melo, Melo wants to go there, and they are willing to pay something.. Unreal.

You cannot be serious with this right?? Phil doesn't wanna trade Melo?? The only truth in that is that Phil wants and not even wants cause it's more wanted Melo to play the system Phil wants to run and what's wrong with that?? Once in a while Melo would play the right way and when he did he would play pretty damn good and when Melo wants to, he's actually a really good passer but it would only last for a game or two.
Again if he wanted him gone he would have done it, same with KP.
Remember Phil had a trade for Melo but balked
He said similar things in regards to both players when it came to potential trades.
What trade did Phil have set for Melo but balked at it cause i definitely don't remember that??
I'll find the report when I get a chance but it said Phil had a deal in place but backed off.
Phil also had a chance to tell Melo he wanted him gone but instead asked Melo if he wanted to be here or not. I think this was before a game in Boston.
Phil's been all talk in regards to this trade Melo stuff.
He won't even entertain a buy out. I don't think he wants him gone, he just wants him to adapt.

Well if this doesn't end right, we'll be seeing him in Oakley's spot 20 years now.

Re: official Melo trade speculation - thread 2
And people don't want to bench this guy? He's all about himself, he doesn't give a rats a** about the Knicks. Plaster him on the bench until he budges on that NTC

So Melo is worse than
Dolan
Jackson
Thomas
Marbury
Eddy Curry
Jerome James
Jared Jeffries
Joakim Noah
Amare Stoudemires contract
Should I keep going?
