It's preordained. Even if the Knicks have the 7th worst record, they are still getting Donic.

if a team is giving melo 15-20mm per year then either:
1. they're dumb
2. melo averaged 20+ ppg
if it's #2 then lol that's not gonna happen. melo is behind the depth chart. kristaps is #1 and they signed thj to be #2. IF the option was #1 then i feel bad for the team that gives an average 3pt specialist to 15-20mm per year.
Just when I think you can't go further with the Melo hate you top it every time BnOYou amuse me.

If Melo stays on NY, there's almost no way he doesnt lead the team in FGA.

Lol teams are dumb if they sign a average 3pt specialist to $15-20m per year, but wants the team he is apparently a fan of, to trade for Ryan Anderson for $20m + a year.

I think that's false. Melo shoots wide open 3's, the type that Anderson shoots off of Harden's playmaking, at a better clip.blueNorange wrote:FutureKnicksGM wrote:blueNorange wrote:if a team is giving melo 15-20mm per year then either:

anderson does the only thing he's good at a lot better than melo.

at least you admit melo's only use at this point is as a catch and shoot 3pt shooter.
