Did we move the hippo out of the water yet? Everyone acts like he is gone. I won't believe until i see it.

What I don't get is, if you're Melo, doesn't this whole experience have to humble you? The fact that no one really wants you THAT much? 2 years ago, he was pissed at NBA Rank for being rated outside the top 10. Now, teams won't give up Kevin Love, draft picks or anything... That has to hurt if you're him.

We should try to get point guard Shabazz Napier in this deal. His salary is only $1.35 million and he's very good, hidden behind Lillard. Here he is at the end of the season. IT-like:

He went out and flaunted to see how he was in demand during his 1st free agency and if I remember correctly, he implied later on that he just wanted to feel like how it is to be courted by other teams. Seeing all this now gotta hurt him to some extent.

It's probably why he's been banging strippers raw and impregnating them. He needed the ego boost due to the depression

There's no need to move Lee just for the hell of it, especially when he's still an asset who can contribute as a veteran presence. IF a deal comes in that knocks us over for him then fine. Otherwise, it's unnecessary with him being on an affordable deal.

As for a starting PG, I really wouldn't mind bringing Jennings back. He could thrive here now that Phil is gone!

Get Shabazz Napier in the deal as a throw in. He's better than Jennings .

Reportedly, there are plenty of teams that would love to have Melo. The problem is he doesn't want them. His no-trade clause has limited our trade partners.

Then of course, there's his solace in all the $$$$ he's still owed.

I heard he was screwing around but I didn't know he actually impregnated one. Is she having an abortion or having this love child?

Knicks should keep melo. They aren't going to get anything of value for him, just more deadweight contracts.
he's lead them to the lottery 4 years in a row.

maybe melo will give up 27 million next season to join wherever the banana boat is.

He has Kobe like attitude but without the same determination under those fat layers. He will only get humble when he realizes he isn't the franchise anymore but riding greater players like in Olympics.

Not sure, but another instance where ISO'ing too long in one spot instead of a quick shot and movement has failed Melo.

Really? That's been our hope but I haven't heard anything official. Do you have any sources pf that?

I'm sure that everyone would like him for their bad contracts and scrubs. In Melo's mind, he has always thought of himself as in the class of the elite. When he hears Kevin Loves name, he's like "he can't play with me." He probably feels that way about a lot of guy's that teams value. He probably couldn't imagine being turned down for a pick.

Maybe. Banana boat isn't going to wait for him. They'll use their cap space next summer and Melo will miss out on the negotiations.

He's probably looking at the room exception in 2 years time.

This brings a whole new meaning to the term dadMelo.
