Ryan Anderson and Evan Turner is what this fanbase deserves.

My body is ready.


We're gonna get one of them or Meyers Leonard with Harkless.

Don't see a way how we don't take a bad contract in this. Portland is in salary cap hell, they ain't giving up Harless for just Anderson who has a much worse contract

Why worry? It's going to be underwhelming. Fans will compare what we gave up for Melo vs what we got for Melo. Fans will continue to complain that we didn't pick Smith in the draft, we will take on some sort of salary in which we will complain about.

Preseason basketball will get here, Frank will turnover the ball in a meaningless game and doom and gloom will fall upon the board. Season will get here, we will win a game and the fans will think we will be a championship team and then we will lose a game and the Porter JR bandwagon will be in full steam.

You already know how this season will go...


So do I renew my league pass or not? :lol:

When the Knicks are still bad in the future like they have been for the past 20 years not because of terrible management but solely because message board karma spoke their failures into existence

You guys deserve Dolan and Mills and Isaiah.


We traded an entire starting lineup for him and maxed him out what do you expect

This is why I don't like you. You make **** up.

Melo wasn't even the highest paid on this damn team.

You let me know when we get a player like him that actually wants to be here.

He played here alone. 6 fuqing years and the best we came up with was Tyson fuqing Chandler?


I don't disagree with you. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Knicks failed Melo far more than Melo failed them. Melo is the player he's always been although obviously now he's older and on the decline. It's just time to move on. Lets accept this disaster of a package Steve Mills is going to get and continue on with the rest of our lives.

at the end of the day greenie and no matter what anyone says here, the guy has been the 2nd best knick since ewing. and that's a long ass time. and we don't know that anyone this good will be here for a minute. because it was a minute between those two. but all things have an ending. some sooner than later. sorry wingo.

That's my fuqing issue.
They are literally acting like dude is straight trash.


The organization is terribly run. Melo made some mistakes but I've always appreciated his game. It's a disgrace what has went on for the last few years and how Dolan let the face of the organization talk down about Melo.


Okay, but, that's in the past. I think we all agree that the organization handled it terribly. At the same time, we know where we need to head. Instead of dreading on all of that, what's wrong with being excited about the future?

S**t happened. None of us agree with it. Why keep talking about what went wrong? It's over. We have ever reason to be excited about the future. And you know what? That includes a deal shipping Melo out. Not because we all hate him. But because it's a step towards the future.

We had a choice a few years ago just to let Melo sign elsewhere, or not offer him a NTC and maybe he would have. We would have gotten nothing.

Anyway, if we come out of this deal with an asset or two, no matter how trivial, it is actually sort of a win in a twisted way.

I mean not really, since there was an opportunity cost of having him on the roster the last few years, but, it's not a total disaster (well, not yet... let's see the trade).
