People dont want Melo to stay with tha knicks because....

[Real14]

.....its tha "New York" knicks that's why. Simple as that. Do you agree?

[NuggetsFan]

I don't want Melo to stay because we have the right to swap picks with NY in a few years. No Melo = potential high lotto if they swing and miss in FA. Seems to be FA nowadays want already legit competitive teams before they sign on.

People don't like seeing great talent go to waste.

You nassau or suffolk out of curiosity?

I want Melo to win, thats why people want him to leave. He's not winning with New York

He was supposed to go to the playoffs last season and they couldn't even make it in the Eastern conference.

The Bobcats made it over them.

I think people avoiding what im saying on purpose cuz its "New York" "Tha mecca" "broadway" etc. etc. I know these things. People who don't live in new York are really jealous or very intimidated by us. People were even talking shit about us in tha Ewing dayz.

If Melo wants to contend now, Knicks are not an option. He's going to base his decision off of priority. Does he want to win? Then, he should join a contender. Obivously, if he wants the money, Knicks are the way to go for him.

Amare kind of ruined any chances of him sticking around. Amare knew this was his last year to make big bucks and he's pretty much worthless going forward, so instead of opting out and allowing another talented piece to be added to the roster, he did what I'd have done - took the money. If he and Bargs opted out, took less, and allowed the Knicks to lure in another decent piece or two, Melo would possibly have stayed.

Face it, Melo is out and I don't blame him. He will take his talents to Houston.

It wouldn't be far fetched to say that the Knicks have been under performing for years despite their reputation as a big market "elite" basketball team, I don't think it has anything to do with the city itself.

Who in their right mind doesn't love New York?

People don't want Melo to stay on the Knicks because they suck, and we want to see him have a fair shake at winning a chip.

Ironically enough that's the exact same reason why any free agents ever consider the Knicks in the first place. Can't have it both ways.

[Legends66NBA7]

Because they probably want to see him in a better opportunity to try and win now.

The team currently as it is:

PG: Jose Calderon/Tim Hardaway Jr./Pablo Prigioni/Shannon Brown/Shane Larkin
SG: Iman Shumpert/J.R. Smith/Wayne Ellington/Toure' Murry
SF: Carmelo Anthony
PF: Amar'e Stoudemire/Andrea Bargnani/Kenyon Martin/Lamar Odom
C: Cole Aldrich/Samuel Dalembert/Jeremy Tyler


Does that look like a team ready to win now ?

[Real14]

My question to you all iz if people don't want melo on tha knicks cuz of one bad season we had then why people hated us when ewing was our leader?

[BoutPractice]

I would love nothing more than for the Knicks to succeed.

But I would also love it if we built a colony on Mars tomorrow.
