Crawford, Rivers,Wes and 1 1st round 2020 pick is the most we will give them. We would need Jennings and Holiday in that package, but we would eventually be the knicks. Austin+Brice Johnson+Diamons Stone are the only young guys we got. I doubt Melo makes us better though.I'd rather do what we're doing.

why wouldnt be make them better though ? i understand hes not going to help the defense, but were talking about a guy than can drop 40-50 on a given night, playing with maybe the best set up man in the game. i feel the clippers have the most talent they have had overall in the cp3 era, but because of KD its still not enough.

I think Melo has basically made himself the type of player nobody wants to play with.

I think the only time he has ever fit in & played D decently was in the Olympics..


Name all the players who have said they don't like playing with Melo? and he won 50 games yr in and out and Denver. Let me guess Melo didn't contribute to those wins huh

Stop trying to create some false narrative, you ain't never heard one player say he hated playing with Melo.

You in here talking bout Melo Stan's, when you in here back to back to back posting the same shyt. No wonder your rep is terrible

I've seen us at our best and we don't need another dude to drop 40 or 50 every night(which I know Melo won't). Defensive consistency means more to our identity then Melo taking someone else's shots. So like I said he wouldn't make us better and we would be giving up picks and our only young developing player.

well stanley, allow me to retort: You never played organized sports huh? Never been a hooper have you?

Most players aren't going to say anything about other players, particularly those marketed as superstars, but they know each others up sides, down sides and personalities.

if a team like a memphis a few years ago has the D in place and needs a scorer, like when gay left, he would be a nice fit.

Melo can score. He also takes a lot of shots, all the time.

The facts remain, if you want to win a chip and all you need is additional scoring, then be my guest..otherwise, with his age and salary & one dimensional game, and the stipulations in his contract..who wants all that baggage stanley?

incidentally, my rep is what it is because I say Lebron is a multi tier bytch. I aint saying Melo is that..but the forced trade to the Knicks, the fight before that, the shyt he's said after getting to the Knicks..well, his bytchass lives in the neighborhood


Watch games I watch every single game fukk boy, you saying no one wants to play with Melo. Are you in nba circles, where are you hearing this. You basically just making shyt up.

I know you not calling me out, I'm not no casual fukk boy

breh, this current roster is NEVER going to have enough defense to beat the warriors. cp3 6ft, reddikk, 6'4 and not athletic

they have too much length and skill, and a big gaping hole at SF for the warriors to exploit. you think you are going to hold the warriors under 100? theyre scoring 117 a game. you only have a chance if you can put up those numbers too. melo gives them their best chance. you have to be a threat to match them shot for shot.

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
Based on the fact that Melo has the no trade clause this will get beyond tricky.

He could say no based on the players he gets traded for. Phil might have to settle for scraps and Melo could still say no because of perception.

And he can't be traded for Blake Griffin if Derrick Rose is still with the Knicks.

Of the losses the Warriors have received, how did they get them? I mean of course the other team outscored them but it wasn't some 2k shyt.. Defense and exploiting matches, as well as playing their own game

im saying they dont have the personnel to slow them down whatsoever. the only way the game will be close is big numbers on the scoreboard

who's going to stop Jordan on the inside..thats a mismatch

a mismatch they have not been able to exploit. since the warriors pack the paint heavy against them and dont even guard mbah mute.

sure DJ can jump over zaza but hes not getting many chances based on what weve seen so far. they dont let DJ post up much, even though they should. his post moves arent bad at all.

still, its just a bad matchup. blake cant bully draymond and hes still got KD to help to block shots since he doesnt have to guard anyone. they NEED another big time player

Cats ignoring the fact that Melo's PEERS still refer to him as a great player, but we're suppose to dismiss that because it doesn't fit the Coli's narrative that he's a selfish ballhog that nobody wants.

so, @Mr. Jack Napier I forgot all about this fact..even his PEERS who say he's a "great player" the coaches, the fans..couldnt mobilize to get Melo in the asg..

hmm..

Knicks are 20-27, nobody on the Knicks deserved to be there. But if you want to play that game, why did they leave Lilliard, Paul, Towns, etc out.

The trade deadline gone be interesting as shyt. The Bulls are a complete mess, the Cavs are looking dysfunctional, & the Knicks are looking old & tired.
