Ok the article says short time. We have to get the new gm involved. He may like other players/ demand other players. Let's see wussup. He has the experience. Chill

They didn't even get KP a point guard. Clearly they're not worried too much about him.

honestly i think dantoni had second thoughts about making the deal he probably didn't want melo and didn't want to talk about melo in vegas

He wanted to draft Melo in 03-04. Maybe he still likes him.

I don't have a problem with that. Some seem to think putting Melo at the 4 is going to turn a team, horrific at defense into a playoff contender. Now that's a joke.

Hardaway, Lee, Melo, Porzingis is quite the logjam on the wing.

Good thing they all except two play different positions and stretch 4s aren't wings

$30 million to blow on Tim Hardaway Jr Part 2. I don't trust Mills with cap space.

Low seed in the playoffs = terrible and unhelpful.

Top 3 pick = saving grace for this franchise

We ain't getting a top three pick man. You got some real tank ready teams such as Atlanta, Chicago, and the Nets in the East and then the West out of balance talent wise so it is good for like 3-4 more terrible teams. So we'd pretty much spend a season cheering for the Knicks to lose games that they have enough talent to win (even without Melo). Add to the fact that the East is terrible and the Knicks would pretty much be battling with Charlotte for the eight seed throughout the season. Trust me, it would be easier to make the playoffs than to sneak into the top 3 lottery pick.

Nah man, this means for sure Melo's gonna be back next year and taking 30 shots a game, literally ripping the ball out of KP's hands and sitting on him in practice to make sure he doesn't develop

Yeah Phil was the only one who wanted him gone..Dolan loves him and Mills and caa obviously do

I think Dolan and Mills see an opportunity to make the 8th seed in the east and as always lack patience and foresight and will go for it

All Melos gonna do at this point is hinder Kp's development another year and he's good enough to get us the 8th or so pick i the draft instead of top 5

We need to dump him ..as long as we're not taking hideous contracts back where better off without him for the long term but this franchise never looks at the big picture..

Pausing doesn't mean stopping. What's the harm to recollect with a new GM who seems to know what he's doing. Whatever deal Houston has been proposong isn't going anywhere. Patience is the right play here. We all gave Mills crap for this move that wasn't even made and now that we are showing restraint it shows we aren't making moves just to make moves.

Definitely feeling better when Perry comes on board than leaving it in the hands of Mills.

Scott's media homies are all over this. Morey gonna have an angry CP3 on his hands in a contract year if he doesn't get Melo.

Jay10 · Post #38 » by **Jay10** » Fri Jul 14, 2017 2:20 am

This is why Phil had to be fired after Carmelo was no longer on the roster.

At least he isn't eligible for a 5 year max contract due to the over-38 rule. :lol:

Jeff might as well start packing his boxes, since it's going to be all iso.

Read on Twitter

this is what im talking about. Melo can hopefully put pressure on CP3 and Harden. This was our only leverage play. Enjoy coming back to a loser Melo. Or get them to pony up.
