He just had a nice run for that short period in 2012 under D’antoni. But while putting up big numbers, he was also a turnover machine. Teams got used to him and adapted.

He was never going to be a top player, but was a decent starter or 6th man for awhile. He still had a really good career for someone undrafted.

Wasn’t that smart of a basketball player despite being Asian but honestly Melo played no favors- then he went to Houston and got sandwiched into the harden system and it was wraps after that.

Needed more time to cook with D’Antoni and develop a left hand and he woulda been solid, but the league made sure to put the kabashi on that

Can we stop with this bullsh*t narrative.

The original offer sheet reported by Woj included two $9.3 million payments in the final two years of a four-year contract. The final offer sheet that Lin signed included a balloon, “poison pill” payment of $14.9 million in the third year of a three-year, $25.1 million deal. According to Isola, it was the revision in the contract that infuriated owner James Dolan and led the team to letting their newfound marketing machine walk away that summer.
