Should Lin demand that the Knicks trade Melo?

[LABean]

Can't make it to the finals if he can't play his game.

[JellyBean]

No. They will be ok once they get use to each other and learn how to react to each other.

[fubu05]

I don't get it... didn't the Knicks win tonight with Melo + Lin. Granted it was the injured Hawks, you could still see them playing well off each other. Are people ever going to get off Melo's nuts? Inb4 trade Melo threads if Knicks lose tomorrow at Heat.

[Rekindled]

the problem is not melo, the problem is amare, amare is sucking so bad right now its not funny.

[Rowe]

Your suggestion doesn't make sense.

Lin "playing his game"? Thats not getting us to a NBA Finals.

Melo "playing his game"? Thats what will win us a NBA Finals if we get there.

This.

Only idiots are complaining because Lin isn't going for 25 PPG like he did when Melo was out. Everybody knew that wouldn't last as soon as teams got tape on him and players got familiar with his game.

I dont understand the amount of hate Melo received even before he got hurt and I still dont understand why the amount of hate has gone up.

What is it about Melo that makes people despise him so much? This is on par with the shit people would say about Dirk & Dallas before they won the Title about how he "doesn't do this" and isn't a "leader".

When Melo gets back to 100%, we will be rolling for the rest of the regular season.

If Amare ever finds his confidence, then we can finally start talking about a real Playoff run.

[Sarcastic]

Dolan would trade Lin before he traded Melo.

True story.

[bmulls]

Dolan would trade Lin before he traded Melo.

True story.

Doubt it. Lin is making them so much money right now it's unbelievable.

That's not the reason why so far.

It's because Melo is back and Lin is playing more of the PG role than the scorer. Even with that said with the past 2 games, Lin is still leading in scoring for them. But it's only been 2 games. And the Mavs prepared for Lin. Had Marion and Kidd guard him with double teams and Lin still scored. But since Melo is back, you can tell from the lack of Lin's aggressiveness that he is trying to get Melo and the players some shots rather than getting his own as much.

But in the long run, Melo could be better with the team because it gives Lin less pressure and he could just run the offense. Amare has to find his game for them to be scary.

But if they HAVE to trade Melo, which I extremely doubt they would, Iggy and some defenders would be nice.

[LakersReign]

Dude hasn't even played a full season with the Knicks yet and he's somehow supposed to have leverage enough to ask the Knicks to trade somebody?!

[Clippersfan86]

Reality here is 17 and 9 is more appropriate from a star PG. He needs to play more like Nash and less like Rose if the Knicks want to go further in playoffs. A PG should never be relied on to score 25-30 points nightly especially when you have all the offensive weapons the Knicks have.

[Sarcastic]

Well they raised the ticket prices for the Garden this year by like 60% because of the Melo trade.

I would actually like to see his points more around 15, and the assists at 10 or 11.

[Shepseskaf]

Why are there so many idiots in the world? This thread is nonsense.
