Did this article say they should trade Melo build around chandler and three point shooting and it wouldn't be much drop off.

:dead:
but yet people are acting like that's not a disrespectful article . He's making it seem like Melo is Danny granger status . While hawk fans who ran around all year and off season talking about how ferry was getting Dwight and cp3 are being given passes for stupid ass comments about cp3 being worse than a rookie . This board is crazy
*proceeds to quote me 2 more times* :heh:

you didn't even read the post you quoted to be saying the bullshyt you said.



Actually the Barclays are gonna still be there to put a dent in MSG in terms of concerts, shows, shyt like that. It's been doing that while MSG has been up. It's not as if MSG will get everything back that they had before. A lot of events prefer how new and different the Barclays Center is. The renovations are more or less a cosmetic change that's supposed to make MSG not look like the oldest sporting facility in town.

As for the Nets, if the Knicks would have to start over while the Nets would be competing for titles, YES, the Nets will run shyt. Nobody's immune to that shyt here. If you're rebuilding or perpetually in suck mode, the other team's gonna get more attention as long as they're not trash. The Yankees, Giants, Rangers to an extent, they can't avoid that. What would make the Knicks any different now that they have competition in their city?

I love it! According to you, I'm a Melo hater and a Knicks hater. According to @kingofnyc I'm a Net hater. Y'all need to powwow and make up your minds.
Ok one show me a post of yours saying how the Knicks season can be good ., you know I been calling you Knicks hater since last season your scenarios are always the pessimistic approach for the Knicks ... Why is the possiblity of the Knicks bottoming out ?? The nets haven't been better than the Knicks since Melo got here , their star is a hurt injury prone quitter but this whole thread is about how Melos going to be a risk at 30 :snoop: As if dwill isn't hurt and the season hasn't started yet . Niccas just won the division and we already saying how they are in trouble You completely left out the garden renovations in your post about how Barclays is taking over ... A new arena will draw buzz but don't act like msg wasn't hurt by renovations and then you make it seem like they weren't extensive . shyt looks completely modernized .

Do I need to? I'm pretty neutral on shyt the Knicks do. I don't root for them, but I'm not gonna dislike everything they do either. There's 5 teams in the league I hate, and only one of them not in my division. The Knicks are not one of them. You might the be the only Knick fan on this board that thinks I have something against Melo or the Knicks (the funny thing is that I stopped being a Melo "hater" when he stopped being a Nugget) You don't have to look far to see me objectively defend the Knicks more often than not.

Why are you assuming that I think they'll bottom out? If anything I'm saying they won't do that now and they will do that IF they let go of Melo which they won't.

i love melo but he will never be as good as bron or KD, and its going to be tough for NY to build a team that can overtake the heat. melo probably needs to team with d rose or something to have a chance.

idk brehs, if we can get Melo not to take max money, and can pick up Rondo and a decent center on the cheap, Knicks could look like

PG Rondo/Felton
SG Smith/Shump/Hardaway
SF Melo
PF ?
C ?

looks like a decent foundation for a defensive playoff team.

If Paul George can get maxed theres no good argument to say melo shouldn't...and melo im sure is fine with being a scoring champion with max contracts as his legacy as im sure most players would be...Most players im sure be ok just getting paid a few mil to play in the NBA for a living...

Yall worry way more about that legacy sh1t then a NBA player could ever care about...

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
the Knicks will be okay this year, they'll win between 48 and 54 games, their ceiling is probably a well fought round 2 series, but it'd take a few things going their way to sniff the conference finals

Bargnani being able to help space the floor will help the offense

If Shump can take it to another level, they'll be dangerous

Long term? They're fukked. They have a bunch of bad deals for the next few years, and that Melo contract gonna be insane. If by some small chance Melo shocks the world and goes to LA or something, it'd be the best thing that could possibly happen to NY. It'd be better to blow it up and rebuild than sign off on 5 years of Melo taking up half your salary cap.

So they should look to trade Melo then right?
:dead:

They're not even the best team in their own city. Right now they're looking at 5th in the conference. Heat, Nets, Bulls, and Pacers are all ahead of them.
Look at this nikka trying to tide us in with their instability problems :smh:, our teams do not parallel each other in ANY facet. You nikkas are about to max a nikka that will NEVER win y'all a championship. Meanwhile, we have flexibility and YOUNG stars. Holla at us when y'all get young nikkas doing this...


Best thing for the Knicks would be for Melo to sign elsewhere. Unfortunately, Amare got injured too much. If that didn't happen, the Knicks would of been a East Coference appearance team. If you do resign Melo, try to snag Demarcus Counsins in a year or two, other than that they're stuck in perrineal mediocrity mode(ala 2009 - 2012 ATL Hawks) :scusthov:
Short term and long term problem is their irrelevant ass franchise is stuck in the same conference with the Heat and they resigned the same dumbass dude that is never going to improve while the GOAT donk having Rican scoring forward is stuck with a chicken legged fakkit as his center

To all of you... with all due respect...
