Knicks secret weapon has been unleashed

Why doesn't melo just play point forward? LeBron does it, Pierce did it and got a triple double last season. Even kobe doing it.

Melo isn't a playmaker, he doesn't have the court vision like the guys you mentioned

This is really where the locker room tension started for the Knicks.

All of the players in training camp could see who the best players were, and then Chris Smith makes it instead of other guys more deserving. And then they figured out why - because of JR Smith, Melo and CAA.

So then this sent a bad message to other guys not to complain, and it's been all downhill from there for the Knicks this season.

Bolded part shows how you can turn a successful business into a dump. 1. Hire your family as staff members (they will feel privileged, won't work as hard, won't treat customers with as much respect, and you will feel bottled up because you don't want to tell off your family all the time.) Before you know it, all your customers are gone and sh1t never gets done but you still have to end up paying your staff. In the end you lose the business and likely the relationship you have with your family. Instead what you should have done from the very beginning was hire hard working people who won't be lazy and you won't have to worry about telling them off or firing them.

Looks like the Knicks wanted to go the family route and it all starts with Melo. Melo wanted his 'boys' from his Nugget days -> Kenyon Martin, JR Smith, (another one forgot whom). Melo also wanted to have power over his coach -> D'antoni ran out of town and Woodson (Melo's boy) came to be the head coach. Now Melo and JR are trying to get his little brother into the NBA too. Melo basically surrounded himself in a comfortable situation but how comfortable is it going to be when everything is falling apart?

Actually Melo has very good court vision and you will often see him making the right passes. He just overestimates his own scoring ability a little too much. Why pass and swing the ball when I can just score off 2 moves now?
