Nearly every team who's player wanted out got a rather weak package.

That's player influence.

And Melo wanted out. So why bend over.
Go speak to thd Knicks.

We make bad trades often. Melo wasn't the first or last.

It's a players league. Period. The evidence is abundant.

You keep saying this as if it holds water when making trades.

The Knicks were simply supposed to walk away or let Denver figure it out. We just watched it with OKC.

Can we just have a nice Melo Appreciation Thread
End things on a Classy note for once ?
Melo was paid but lost the prime years of his career due to mismanagement of the organization.
The Man showed up, played hard and handled all of the drama better then anyone else could of
We can argue all we want on the trade thread

Without Melo, they win 30 games, tops

word. **** is over and done with and we've got people rehashing the past still. even if you dislike what he did as a player have some respect for him for what he's done as a man.

OKC is giving up what again?

This is the difference between competent front offices and what the Knicks do.

Remember the Tyson trade? Fast forward to what Denver got Mozgov.

We can go on and on about the **** trades the Knicks get down with.

Never budged, or had no assets to facilliate a trade in which we were looking for next to nothing in return? They made a terrible signing in Anderson because he fit D'Antoni's system, similar to why we signed Noah because he fit a system. Just because they couldn't make something work out for Melo doesn't mean they did a good job in this process.

Tyson wanted out and Melo wanted him gone, it was a crap return but lets not pretend that there was a ton of value for a player who just quit on his team and the star player wanted him gone. Denver played it's cards right, were able to trade Mozgov to a team that was in a finals push and had a coach who was Mozgov's coach. The two situations couldn't be further apart.

We could go on and on, but the Knicks usually are never trading from a side of strength due to their own dysfunction.

Melo's albatross salary and willingness to only go to a select few teams neutered whatever value he had left. What logical person expected a great return for him?

I'm just glad we don't have to pay anymore attention to the Melo nonsense and perhaps we can give Jeff a chance to coach this team his way, where he has proved that he can succeed in this league.

I agree! It's almost Ewing all over again.

He deserved better than he was treated here and I wouldn't be too upset if he killed us everytime we we see him again.

We earned what's coming to us.

All I hear from you right now is noise.

Players forced the Knicks to:
Give STAT that contract
Trade for TMAC
Make the Melo deal
Waive Billups
Trade and pay for Tyson
Trade for Barf
Trade Tyson for ****
Trade JR and Iman for Lance
Trade for Rose
Sign Noah to that lovely contract
Sign Timmy to that number
Hire Jeff
Hire Fisher

On and on and on. Knick fans get it. The team does this. They hold the purse strings. Not the players. They make the moves. Not the players.

I hated when they brought him in but in due time I came to appreciate him as a player and as a man. The amount of charitable work he has done in the city and elsewhere has always meant a lot to me. And even though he drove me crazy at times I always respected him. This is the best for both parties but I'm definitely gonna miss him. Rooting for you Me7o lol

The Failure belongs to the organization and prior GM's not his own

Sad to see him leave the Knicks...happy he's with a legit contender. I've watched this forum get on some straight bs the last year or two looking for answers as to who to blame for this sorry ass team. I hope the KP believers get the true quality they want outta homie this year. I personally believe he too will be gone because only Knicks fans believe someone is supposed to be battered, bruised, and shi**ed on and want to stay on this squad. His time will come soon and let's see what other credible free agent will want to join this squad after how a VERY respected (around this league regardless of what you may think) and talented player was dragged through the mud. I hope Melo gets that chip. I hope the Knicks make some noise. I hope this forum gets back to being fun to read on breaks.
