Sas has caa connections so hopefully it's true

Nah, Love is perfect for Lebron's Cavs. Melo is a ball stopper, unless Lebron can somehow get him to play like "Olympic Melo", which I highly doubt, especially at 33.

What is Olympic Melo.

Love for melo......

Cavs would probably win 4 straight finals

Love is averaging 11 rebounds per game, Melo cannot replicate that and it's one of the major strengths of the Cavs team.

Have they won a game when Lebron sits out yet

What is Olympic Melo.

An egoless team first player.

How is all this Melo hate warranted? There's mad good players with big contracts on shytty teams.

This...i cant wrap my head around it for the life of me . I guess its the cool thing to do right now

 

[Gotright]

I could rather the cavs get love. Melo is a cancer to a lebron james team

imo, melo is a one dimensional player who will NEVER win a title. I consider him, dwight howard & deron williams all in the same category-they will NEVER even come close to winning a chip. They have angered the basketball gods by forcing trades, not honoring contractual obligations & being over all "wussies" [if anyone knows what this term means haha].

Melo forced the trade from denver to nyc, then had the audacity a year or 2 ago to be like-I've never been a free agent, I want to see what that's like..after the knicks GUTTED the team to get his ass. [and they were decent before he got there]. Then payed him all that dough, only for this? I mean how could any real knick fan believe melo would lead y'all to a chip?! you knew what you were getting by watching him in Denver.

not to mention that fight in the garden where melo stole on the little dude then backpedalled from a true confrontation.

the real question is who's going to take this no defense playing, I need at least 30 shots a game, shooting something like 9 for 30 ass dude?

Dwight Howard has come close though

"almost doesn't count"-brandy

I'm willing to make a standing bet, for the duration of his career, dwight howard will NEVER win a ring.

HE probably won't but he's more of a winner than Melo.

Fat iverson

8 years later, this hoe STILL taking shots

Phil Jackson blames Carmelo Anthony drama for failed Knicks tenure

James Dolan thought the media would run Phil Jackson out of town. But it was Carmelo Anthony.

nypost.com

“Dolan said to me, ‘Are you going to get run out of town by the media?’ I said, ‘I know who the media is; that doesn’t affect me,’ ” Jackson said in the Carmelo chapter of his book, “Masters of the Game,” a conversational read on the 75 greatest players through the lens of the legendary coach and Hall of Fame scribe Sam Smith. “But Dolan felt it was too much. He said, ‘I don’t want you to go through it. I know what it’s like to deal with these people.’ I said, ‘Unfortunately my relationship with Carmelo is kind of busted, and if he’s going to be here, it’s probably best that I go.’ ”

“I had this meeting with Dolan, I said, ‘I don’t want Carmelo back on the team; we’ve got to find a way to trade him,’ ” Jackson said in the book. “I said, ‘Let’s sit with [Anthony’s agent] Leon Rose and explain we’re not going to win a championship. Carmelo wants a championship; he wants to be on a team that has a chance, and he should be; he’s a Hall of Famer.’ ”

“[Karl said] ‘Kobe’s going to get his 30 points and we’ll deal with that; shut down everybody else.’ Carmelo interjected, ‘No, I disagree with that. We’ve got to defend Kobe first. We’ve got to throw everything at him,’ ” Jackson wrote. “ ‘You know why?’ George asked. ‘[Carmelo] said he wanted to be the top scorer.’ ”

He even sent shots at KP & Frank Ntilikina

In the book, Jackson also touched on his two highest draft picks as Knicks president, Kristaps Porzingis — “a good draft pick, but his brother was in the way all the time” — and Frank Ntilikina — “the NBA game turned out not to be for him. I thought he’d be great in a two-guard system, 6-4, agile, but he could never shoot.”
