Not the Gilbert before the knee injury. The Gilbert when he signed that contract. Melo basely quit on the Knicks asking to be traded. He's not a good team player. Melo always goes for his stats before playing team ball. Now things not going well at the moment for the Knicks now he wants to bail out instead of finishing what he startedNivek wrote:truwizfan4evr wrote:Carmelo Anthony want out of New York. it's the same thing with Denver. He was not good enough to get the team to win so he blames it on the organization. Just face it melo you overrated and never been that good in the first place. I hope melo don't come to the wizards or we really be in bad shape with his selfish play and large contract. He is a cancer to any team he plays for and to any of the team he goes on in the future. He reminds me of Gilbert arenas and Iverson. They all kill your team chemistry.
If he reminds you of Arenas, you need to get your memory checked. Arenas was a stone-cold offensive machine -- an uber-efficient, high-usage weapon. Hughes, Jamison, Butler all had terrific seasons playing with Gil. Deshawn Stevenson resurrected his career playing off Arenas. Gil was scoring 28+ a game, but also getting 6+ assists. And his team's offenses were terrific -- top 3-4 in the league when he was at his peak.
Now defense was an issue with Arenas, as it was with basically everyone on the roster not named Haywood.
But don't confuse the stuff that happened after Gil got hurt to what Arenas was pre-injury. Before the injury, the guy was phenomenal.
