This all just seems so dumb and over-reactionary from both sides. If TJ McConnell, Giannis don't hit flukey game winners and Rose gets rightfully called for a foul yesterday this discussion isn't happening..

But, yeah can't wait to see what wonderful haul we get from the Clips and/or Cavs

Would be more dumb to not make a decision that you would have otherwise had those games gone differently.

I get what you're saying but, moving Carmelo solves nothing but, clearing cap space in my opinion. We're getting nothing of value back if those reported 2 destinations are true.. This is all going to be one big waste of time and a big distraction in my opinion for nothing worthwhile and it's coming from both sides...

Just kiss and make up and move on.

I thought they did a pretty good job surrounding Ewing. Now the other three, yea.

apparently he never had a 20 point scorer in his time in NY

I would have thought Houston or Spree might have been but apparently not when Ewing was here

Starks averaged 19.0 PPG in '94.

The second leading scorer on Olajuwan's '94 Rockets was Otis Thorpe at 14.0 PPG.

Pat is a legend, but I just think he was unfortunate to come up in the era he did. I don't see much blame on the FO for the way things went down in the 90s. They had pieces that fit very well together and even had an identity and system that allowed them to wring everything possible out of their group. I watched every game and loved those teams unconditionally - to this day they are still my favorite sports teams of all time despite being a die-hard Yankees fan who watched multiple titles with multiple home-grown legends and HOFers.

I know it's not popular, like you said, but to me Ewing just wasn't as transcendent as Olajuwan or Jordan, and he also had some sh*t luck on top of it with losing a game 7, 2-18, and such. I still haven't watched any highlights from the '94 playoffs because that pain will never heal until the Knicks finally break through and win one for me, but I also don't categorize his Knicks career as some kind of organizational failure or "what if?" scenario. There were simply better teams with a better star.

Melo led us to our best season since the 90's

Phil is trying to nudge Melo to ask for a trade or else he'll ruin the Melo brand, and Melo loves the brand more than anything. The best thing he can do for his brand is go to a winner and be a 3rd banana providing instant offense in a lesser usage role.

I don't get the emotional attatchment these guys have to Melo. He won one damn playoff series why are you in love with him? Do u relate to him as person? Do u love his politics? I've never seen people so attatched to a guy who won a playoff series

"He can get buckets yo, look at his ppg"

melo?

not smith having a career year, felton having a great season, kidd on the team, and the all the vets to keep melo in check?

melo was given the greenlight to chuck and duck on that 50+ win team. he choked in the playoffs.

phil can take it, he's a big boy. As long as he does the right thing and start the full rebuild.

To match salary we'd have to send Kanter/Singler and waive our Trade Exception if my off-the-top-of-my-head calculations are correct.

But it's a moot point, Melo ain't waiving his NTC to move to Oklahoma.
