why would anyone want us to divulge if we are trading or keeping Melo? If we say Melo won't be back under any circumstances then that would cause HOU and or CLE to offer even less...

Perry should say something like we are listening to trade offers but as long as the offers aren't up to snuff he will stay a knick.

No need to unnecessarily undermine Melo's trade value here.

It will be interesting what they say about that....don't expect much details either way. I assume they will be more politically corect then Phil and won't start calling players out

yes and no. Phil did say he wanted to trade him even at the deadline...but he also said he was looking for a good package. So he still wanted something of value back. Whether me and you considered what Phil consider "value" might be a different story. But assuming the crap clippers offer was on the table he still didn't accept that offer and whatever CLE was peddling.

Phil was more open about dealing him than I probably would have liked...but people and the media were clamoring to phil to give them the "plan"...what was he suppose to do..if he ignored the questions he would have been killed too.

Just say Melo and I talked we love him as a player we think he a great knick and player he fits any team and Is a great team mate. We will do what's best for him and the team. We think melo on this team will work wonders with out young players but if a trade blow us away we will look at it. lol increase his value

I'm sure he will gush over KP, Willy, and Frank, etc. but the Melo issue has to be addressed in some form or another. Hopefully just a respectful statement about how we will do what's best for the team and won't rush into anything, etc.

We LOVE Melo so much. He will be a great fit with our new roster, so it would pain us to let him go.

It's not in the guide on my phone. MSG often doesn't update the guide in time for press conferences. Look at their FB page - it's there too.

Does it say in the press release which current players Scott will insult or criticize? Isn't that an official part of all our press conferences?
