Never been my position. I just want the move to be Jeff Hornacek's choice. I really hope it is or that Melo is traded. Otherwise this will be a mess. Don't sit a player down because he won't waive his NTC and wants to finish out his contract. Sit him down because he's not playing defense or doing the things you expect of him on the court. Professionalism.We should try it for once.
It is Jeffs choice. He's on board with the youth movement. You guys forget that Melo is on the trading block. Jeffs best interest is to keep him healthy too.
It's not because he won't waive the NTC. STOP SAYING THAT! HE'S ON THE BLOCK. HE HAS TO STAY HEALTHY OR WE GET STUCK WITH HIM. WE DON'T WANT HIM. JEFF...PERRY...MILLS....IT IS NOT PUNISHMENT!
IT IS THE LOGICALLY BEST INTERESTS OF THE TEAM AND THE PLAYER AND WHATEVER TEAM WE TRADE HIM TO!
He's done here.
He's only here because he won't leave! You DO NOT REWARD THAT WITH PLAYING TIME! LOL
hmmm...

a combination of statements, ideas, or features of a situation that are opposed to one another.
Not a contradiction. It's just another fact. It's not my argument either. It's what you're trying to say is gonna happen. It's not.
I made logical points as to why he shouldn't expect major minutes. I made logical points why NO ONE should want or expect it as well.
You put a player on the trade block 7 months ago. They told him they are moving on and he'd be better off trying to win somewhere else. He's still here. He's only still here because he has a ridiculous 1 team list.
You want to develop a young team and remain flexible to build on that in the future. The player everyone seems to claim is so elite...can't get his one team to offer value. He refuses to go anywhere else. Playoff teams want him. So what is he staying for?
You know what. I'm done. Logic and reason escapes this place. Between this conversation....the DSJ nonsense....the Melo apologists. The Melo bashers. Simple logic is hard to come by around here.
The fans seem to prefer to expect the worst....bash the team...promote the player....wallow in shyt.
I'm excited to see what good comes out of the dust and smoke filled rubble that was Phil Jackson/Melo era. BOTH are over. One just doesn't know when to leave.
I expect Jeff to limit Melos minutes because he knows in the best interests for everyone. I expect Melo to understand his new supporting role here. I hope to see inprovemwnts across the board from last year's youth and I am dying to see this year's youth. I'm hopeful that Jeff proves to be a good coach as well.
Most of all...I hope Melo is gone in an acceptable deal ASAP. I'm done talking about this dude. It's over for me. He needs to go.
. Anyway, outside of speculation, Mills actions and statements lean towards excluding certain players from the team moving forward, without actually doing it from a front office perspective. Thus he's relying on Jeff Hornacek to do it, and therein lies my problem.
