    They tend to stay in the shadows when he is doing well but will come out swinging like as if their lives depended on it.
    who are these people

    your a good poster, but you have some weird complex over lin, looking to defend him, even before anybody has criticized him.

    you do this all the time, bring lin into a thread, where nobody has mentioned him.

    fwiw, this isnt a list made by opinion, they just used that one dumb stat 'wins produced', and a players salary.

    pretty terrible idea for an article imo

    Are we replacing him with the guys that have helped lead the Nuggets to a 3 seed in the west?

    Gallo, Wilson, and Mozgov? Sure. They would be much worse with those 3 instead of Melo.

    Koufos wasn't a Knick. He was in the trade, but from Minnesota.


    None of the picks were from the Knicks yet.

    These guys don't know what they're talking about.

    Melo, Dirk and Afflalo are not overpaid. The one's they did get right are the easiest ones to pick out, Ben Gordon.. Hedo Turkoglu.

    Calling Melo overpaid is stupid. "0.7 wins?" Stat pulled right of ass.

    Sorry I was thinking he'd been with the Knicks briefly. Still picks to come from the Knicks. The trade that keep on giving! Denver has been making some good late round picks with Faried and Fournier. They also got Andre Miller for Felton who was part of the deal.

    Yeah, that makes absolutely no sense. Melo is leading the league in scoring, leading the Knicks to their best season in over a decade, and is playing in the largest media market in the country (with his jersey sales skyrocketing). I feel like his pay is commensurate with what he's done this season. PLENTY of guys who should be ranked over him. Isn't Rashard Lewis getting $13.6 mil this season to average 4 PPG off the bench?
