not playing him won't diminish his trade value.
and stop bringing up lebron, the only person who's comparing melo to lebron is you.
Exactly. His value is set. More importantly...HE ONLY WANTS ONE TEAM THAT WON'T PAY UP NOW! Risking injury is even more insane in this scenario. Why this is hard to understand is beyond me.
IT'S NOT PUNISHMENT!
It is what is best for Melo because of he gets hurt playing in meaningless games...he will be stuck here. He would be gone if he wasn't squeezing the team again.
It's what is best for the team because...if he gets hurt we are stuck with him. We want to focus on our youth. We are trying not to lose more value. THIS SHOULD BE WHAT EVERYONE HERE WANTS!!!
I think this right here is the root of where we all differ. Tell Kristaps Porzingis that we will be playing in "meaningless games" next year. Let's notify Frank N, who just came out of championship games, that we will be playing some meaningless games with the Knicks. I guesss THJ just signed from a playoff ATL team to play some meaningless games. This mentality needs to go on this board. Game threads suck when half the folks are cheering to lose. Sounding like TWolve fans in here...
As far as Melo is concerned...playing here is meaningless. He's not going to be here. He wants to win and contend. Not happening here.
You guys who think it's wrong to limit Melos role just refuse to accept logic. That's where we all differ. Just like the Melo stan club.
We should all want what is best for this team. Fuq Melo. Period. Playing him major minutes is NOT best for the team. Risking injury is not best for the team. Letting him take shots our young guys could be taking is not best for the team. Trading him for garbage is not best for the team. Buying him out is not best for the team. Keeping him healthy as we let the kids steer the ship IS best for the team. Not debable on any level. The only reason he's here is because he's trying to squeeze the team. Not best for the team.
