It's funny how everyone expects the Knicks to just bend over and take it because Melo and others teams want them to. No, the Knicks don't have to take it and their "credibility" doesn't take any hit by not letting themselves get hosed by a player and other teams, they don't have any right now anyway so they don't have to do anything to help everyone except themselves. Maybe teams will be ready to pony up real assets to get a professional scorer at the trade deadline.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Even I know you're supposed to have that blue check mark on there :D



Count me as one of those "old guys" because I'm still trying to figure out how this twitter thing works. Who decides whether or not you're worthy of that fancy blue check mark? I just started tweeting because I love the political humor on there. The CNN memes have me :lol: :lol: :lol:

Leonard sucks, but I'd rather take this deal instead of taking Ryan Anderson at 20 million a year

So far the best rumored offer is Shumpert,Frye and whatever else filler for Melo. That offer will be there come the trade deadline.
No reason to take a bad offer in the summer. Melo doesnt give this team anymore wins than they would without him.

I think Ariza's staying. He's friends with CP3 and they need him to win now. He's an expiring contract so not much use to us.
Let's get younger with Hartenstein and Qi along with Harkless. Maybe a first pick.

No one wants Lee. He's an overpaid role player.

I kinda agree with on that. But this has gotten to the point of no return I think. I just don't see Melo being on the Knicks when training camp rolls around.

I'm thinking we might start THJr, Frank, Lee, Willy and KP. Harkless, Dotson, Baker, Koq, Kuz, Lance off the bench. We still need a veteran PG I think. Maybe we can get Llull in the trade, Sergio, Jennings or Rondo?

I would rather Cam Oliver over Qi.

I think that Lee has plenty of value. There was a rumor a few days ago that the Sixers offered Okafor for him.

It could be our small ball lineup in certain situations.
