Well you and Kane have always had a good hunch about what happens with the team. I think it's now going to happen eventually for the same reason. There's too much out there like you said and now there's dead silence instead of rebuttal. Once Phil signed him and gave him the NTC I though he'd be here until he retired... honestly.

Thanks fam. I did at a time believe the NTC basically said "you're a Knick for life", then I thought about it some and seeing how Melo has responded at times. Melo has a huge ego as do any star type player. I really do believe the final straw was not making the all-star team starters and likely not being there at all.

I think Melo is fine without a ring in the NBA. I don't think he wants to go out in his latter years taking L's like this, and quite honestly even though I thought this roster was .500 material, it's actually really, really poor from a competition standpoint. It's gonna be a minute before the Knicks become decent again, and I think Melo realizes that.

Just my two cents, but I believe Melo will be a Clipper really soon. The amount of info coming just seems to lean towards getting this done quick and both sides moving forward, and the Clippers have some motivation to get a deal done.

It makes sense that the clippers want lee because they'll be giving up all their guards to us.

makes sense they want a lineup of CP3, Lee, Melo, Blake, and DJ

and they will give us Crawford, Rivers, and JJ....unless we can get a pick for crawford I don't include Lee.

Isola and Wojina said the only place Melo wants to win is NY. Now they're Tweeting like they never said that.
