Phil has clearly done everything in power short of actually say he wants Melo gone lol. Do you really think that dikkhead Phil is kissing up to Melo outside of face to face? Hell no, he's just trying not to be the one that eventually breaks in this scenario. Carmelo has all the leverage, Phil doesn't.
And I also refuse to believe Carmelo can't tell that he's wanted to leave either. Melo is stubborn as hell, he wont break either, definitely not while being paid out the ass to basically keep on losing and allow Porzingis to have some share of the offense.
be a man and say u want him gone or stfu
all the stuff melo hears is chatty patty shyt
he would be dumb to make decisions before checking with the source
every time he check with the source, he says he wants him here
and he has said over and over again, he wants to be in ny unless he is no longer wanted by management
everything was going smoothly until phil started running his mouth about posses's and ball hogs smh
