Melo has been trash since 2014. He only gave The Knicks two really good years.

Good luck to OKC
That nikka bout to opt in and show up in September like
I just got in this thread so I dont know if its been mentioned in here or not but Melo STILL has his no trade clause. he only waives it from team to team.
also, these guys like Melo are just plain dumb or doesnt use publicist or advisor. he shouldve never came out and said what he said in an interview. now, many teams wont touch him because he feel he is cancerous. he shouldve just told the org in private that he wasnt willing to come off the bench. he shouldve played the situation like he was happy in OKC and loved it there but maybe he didnt fit and wanted a role elsewhere. he shot himself in the foot with that. yeah he will opt in, but I think he just committed career suicide, because he isnt worth the $28 mil

I like my women tall
He shoulda went to Portland 
What options do they have? Might just have to sit him on the bench
Nobody trading for Melo
A buyout would be expensive as hell
Waive is unlikely
wizards need to shack it up and have trash contracts and some so/so players to dump off
I dont think they are in the position to eat anything and move forward in a climb in the West. looks like it would have to be bad contract for bad contract. like the Turners and Batums out there. plus sweeten the deal with some picks. Portland wouldve loved to have had him last year but after this year, pretty sure they have changed that tune. Hornets cant make playoffs, they have nothing to lose really....but he really needs a buyout. eating that $28 mil is brutal. he's a cap killer.

Its a ego thing
Some of these guys have never come off the bench in 30 years
I'll do anything to get those two gone. Both of them are under contract for two more years.
I'd rather have Melo for a year.

actually, he isnt a big part of the blame to me. Russ and Donovan deserve the most blame.
as far as him coming off the bench...if he cant show better than what he has then its warranted. he brings nothing to the starting lineup but volume shooting. they have 2 others in the lineup that do that at a better clip.
the thing about the ego trip is, J.R. Smith went through the same thing this year. and they just arent thinking right. like J.R. couldnt get enough shots in the starting lineup and he is a rhythm guy like Melo.
it behooves guys like Melo to come off the bench because he has more freedom to just fire away. he doesnt have to worry too much about Russ and PG13. also he gets to play against other bench guys who wont exploit him as bad on defense.
he hurts your team by being a volume shooter with no defense, rebounding, or passing.
while that is a good deal and they could be pretty good during the regular season, they'd be home quicker than they were this year when the playoffs come.
Melo in the starting lineup with two undersized guards with weak defense?
Aminu is better than Melo right now.
