Expectations were high. I think every Knicks fan would welcome vintage Ewing back on our team.

Yeah, it got ugly towards the end. Barkley still references this every once in a while.

The knicks screwed up putting talent around him, sure. The melo trade drained all of our assets to get another star, was terrible. Using the amnesty on Chauncey to get Tyson instead of waiting a year for Cp3. Both of those were mistakes.

But melo did his fair share to contribute to the losing culture and era he played in. Not adapting his game to fit the best style of the team. Not adapting to the new era of ball movement. Never giving any effort on defense. Getting coaches fired. Deliberately sabotouging a team president and trying to turn the locker room on him. Everyone had a role to play but melo could have made this whole situation a lot better. He has no one to blame but himself for the way he is going out


Name one coach he got fired. FIRED. Not quit. FIRED.

Trading a pick for Bargs? All good right?

The president threw him under the bus, not the other way around.

You want to come at his play, fair game. But you are lying about a whole lot and ignoring so much just to scapegoat the one guy who brought anything of relevance, no matter how minor, to this franchise in a decade plus.


He forced out dantoni man. Fired, quit, what's the difference when you give an ultimatum of him or melo to the owner? Funny thing is, dantoni was the first one to use melo as a power forward in an uptempo system that featured point guards and got forced out for it.

Trading a pick for bargs was awful. But CAA was running the organization a team the time. Literally had everyone from grundwald, to Woodson who they forced to sign with them, to melo and Chris smith under their agency. Can't tell me it didn't have Melos stamp of approval. It was his agents pushing stupid moves thinking we were in contention.

Phil threw him under the bus but no one knows what that locker room was like all year. Sounds like melo has been trying to turn the team on phil rambis and the triangle way beforehand. Like I said, knicks made mistakes. But still should have been way better if we really had a star player. Melo has as much if not more blame for the situation he is in

Exactly.
We need to stop it.
It took us how many years to get another star?

So the next star we will have will be in 2027.

Let the wait begin.
