Here comes 3 pages of how Jabari could fit with the Knicks, even though there's no way the Knicks are getting Jabari for Melo.
So you don't want people to have any joy then?
Correct. I want to remove all joy from this forum completely.
Oh wait... what's this?
It seems as though all joy has already been removed. I didn't even have to lift a finger.

agreed. but i still don't understand what the bucks get out of it and how it would work financially
rockets - melo
knicks - anderson, jabari
bucks - late 1st round pick and what else ? where is all the salary coming from ? and what else are they getting that would equal parker's value ? it's another rumor that doesn't make sense

Also if we want to tank we need to trade Melo. This is for all intents and purposes his contract year for his last big contract. You better believe he will be on for most of the season and we don't want that on the tank.

Players who get a NTC on their contract do it so they have confidence that they won't get dumped onto a team in the boondocks with no hope for the season because it's a good business deal for the organization said player is on...the " business" side of things. It's actually so the player has the power to stay on his team, and if he does want to demand where he's going, he can demand going to a good team and leave the **** team he's on...that's usually the case when a player demands a trade..it's to a better situation. There are a lot of good teams, better situations, but Melo doesn't want to go...why?
For the player to do what Melo is doing there has to be a good reason to stay on the team, right? This dude is using his NTC to STAY ON THE **** TEAM, not get out. Meanwhile, there are players above and below his tier taking destiny into their own hands and making moves that benefit their careers. Is this guy doing that? This mentality of his is why he has people rubbing their faces.
Saying "we did this we did that it's not Melo's fault" is simplifying it too much, put some context into it. This guy doesn't even know what the right way to use the power he has is...he'd rather stay in a dump then go give a couple years to a solid team and then go wherever he wants....nope, he'd rather play here and go nowhere. That's all you need to know why people think this guy is a dumbass, because most of the people who have a problem with him doing this can't fathom doing it themselves. You would sit here collect and mope, that's you, but don't paint it like it's the right thing to do just because the power to do it was handed to you....it's **** stupid and a career killing move.
Irving didn't even have a NTC...he played with Lebron James, yet he demanded a trade, ended up being on the best regular season, ECF team from last year and is ready to go toe to toe with Lebron in the ECF on his own...Paul George was able to leave a bunch of nobodies and is now going to start along side the defending MVP, even Butler is going to go play with a young and coming team with a couple of former ROY winners and a great coach.....wtf is Melo doing with his NTC? Poor baby doesn't want to go anywhere because he wants to only play with Li'l Chris.
So read your bolded statement and ask yourself, is what this guy doing in his own best interest? Staying on this team? Really? This is what bums who don't know if they're going to be in the league do, not future hall of famers. I want him to go somewhere and kick ass, I don't just want him off this team because he sucks or anything...it doesn't matter, this team is garbage with or without him...but he can do better, and he won't. This is why this dude has me SMDH.
Exactly. It is possible to think melo is being a dope even though he does not owe us anything. Really not that complicated.
Yeah it is complicated though. Guys like you gotta understand that Ny is just the **** situation in the town you like. Ill give you some scenarios
1Bad situation, great town
2Bad situation, bad town
3Great situation, great town
4Great situation, bad town
I think I covered every situation. Think of it like a tree diagram from your statistics class. The Knicks are that first scenario. I think fans assume he won't waive his clause because Melo wants this scenario as if he wakes up everyday hoping the Knicks suck. To me thats oversimplifying it. If he could have his way Im sure NY would be the 3rd but we all know it won't and Im sure at this point he realizes that. Its not crazy to think he didn't realize it last season. Maybe he actualy thought like some fans that adding Rose/Lee/Noah wouldve changed things. Obviously it didn't. But now its certain, our goal as a franchise is to be option 1.
But keep in mind, waiving his NTC could easily land him in option 2 as well. Haters never factor that in as well. And hey, if you're gonna give me option 2 then hell yeah Im gonna choose option 1 instead. But again, haters (im generalizing for convenience here) assume Melos issue is mostly option 4. We think that Melo just hates certain towns that he would rather not win. It is possible in some cases but Id rather asume hes holding out for option 3.
Perfection. Great situation, great town. And to me THAT is his right. Not mine, not yours. I really wish hed open up to option 4 but I get he wants 3 more than 1. My order would probably be 3, 1, 4, 2.
And let's face it. Nobody is gonna change thier view on Melo by him joining the blazers even if they go to the playoffs every year until he retires. Perhaps Knick fans will apprecieate that he allowed us to rebuild but in the grand scheme of things we're more happy to get him out of our hair than gaf about his post knick happiness or success. So all im saying is let's stop pretending that we care.
Melo knows this and thats why he probably has the same order I have...
3 Houston
1 NY
4- Wizards
2- Pelicans

Monroe, Jabari, Tucker and 1st to New York
Anderson, Ariza or Gordon and 1st to Bucks
Melo, Lee and KOQ to Houston Rockets
