Another theory, Knicks fans didn't want him back at full max and the thought was he would be looked at selfish. So to counter that, he wanted to make us panic thinking he was going to leave.

Now he will take full max and we'll all be relieved and be ok with it because he re-signed and didn't bail.

5 years $115-116 million will be what it is in the end. I have my sources as well.

This is a microcosm of being a Knick fan. It's all just a waste of time.

If his heart is really in NY this should have been over by now.

Right. Really, he would have took his 23 million and gave Phil a year. He opted out to leave.

The dude hit Marty and ran like Isaiah back in his day and used the Nets knowing very well that Dolan and theRussian were ggoing at it to get his money, the guy's fugazy

Chances are the Knicks didn't offer a max either. They just told melo we will match and exceed any contract offer by a certain amount. Now melo is trying leverage a little more out the deal. That simple.

Can you confirm or deny the reports coming out of Steptoe Johnson?

The law firm dude in Chicago is a mail room guy. Who are you going to believe?

everybody has sources. i feel kinda left out. i do have pablo's socks actually but they don't talk to me. well they did this one time but that might have been the angel dust.

For the first time feel like this guy is leaving. Word would of dropped. There is no real details to figure out or anything. How can he possibly not know by now. How much debating you think goes on. If I were in a similar position i would of been prepared heard what each teams plan is and make a decision. Feels like the linger it goes he worse it gets for us.

Right now Leon Rose and Carmelo lost leverage in negotiations due to the bulls low balling melo. They were the only clear threat. Now with that said the lakers offered a max contract. So now Leon is using that Max offer to now gain an increase in the contract the Knicks offered. Knicks are most likely offering between 100-110 mill and melo and Leon want 110-120 mill. That's all this is guys. Use the lakers to drive up the price. Negotiation 101. Your welcome.

wasn't it already comfirmed Knicks offered the max?

Yes

Haven't we learned anything from 2010. Unless you hear it from the horses mouth this is all speculation. None of this is fact only assumptions based on "sources"

Our board's "inside sources" ( :lol:
