NFT: Knicks Chat: Melo open to other teams?

that Melo wasnt interested in.

Also smartly points out that everyone who doesnt win a title is gonna re-assess. Maybe a broader market for Melo going forward is the implication.

Now that Phil came out and said Melo would be better off on another team. This situation cannot persist another season

Phil Jackson says he never criticized Carmelo Anthony in any tweets or interviews this season. I think Carmelo would disagree.

or get the hell out. He is not a capable NBA executive at all!

This organization is such a joke!

Why does everyone hate Phil? The players gave no effort on defense every night. They could have had a much better record.

...the team might consider using a full-court press in the future (Good luck w that if they don't like running triangle). Not to mention...

Boston get swept!!

has picks + (not saying all would even be available) but Brown, Zizic, Yabusele, Smart. Find a way Phil!

I dont like what the 3 has done to the sport in recent years, but the math is very clear that it is a good shot a lot of the time.

He needs to speak a little more, no question. We're entering a brave new world with a Knicks rebuild. Very exciting.

in PJ Tucker to toughen these suckers up!!!!

question, I know everyone is reading resistance of the triangle "from the top" being about Melo but couldn't that line refer to the top of the triangle ie Rose?

But damn, Phil is a Savage

show baby!

The "star" players didn't buy in, and everyone followed their "lead."

@PhilJackson11 Call Vlade, he's prone to dumb trades and the Kings have multiple picks #Knicks

I don't know if Knicks fans can call the Kings dumb now. They knew when the right time to sell on their main star (maybe a little late, but still).

Well they are dumb enough to have Vlade admit they had better offers and passed...

better offers for Melo in the past few years. Just not foolish enough to admit it to the public.

Melo needs to go. If this is how it has to happen, so be it. We need a full rebuild.

By putting this out to the public, it increases the pressure on Melo to accept whatever deal Phil can drum up.

I can see both sides to this fiasco...as Melo's aged and battled injuries, he's not a top shelf star anymore, but wants to be treated as one. The flip side, I can understand if he's not happy with how Phil has put stuff in the media.

Either way, it's time for the divorce.

but so be it. Just get him out of here. The "importance" Melo places on winning sure as hell doesn't manifest itself in the effort department. Stay Me7o, kid.

Ideally you want Boston to win a few rounds and then lose to the Cavs. Close enough that Boston decides to make a move to get better in the short term, but also they need to lose by enough to make them think they need to make a real move. Importantly, for Melo to end up there, Boston's problem needs to be that they couldnt get tough buckets when needed. Either Thomas is shut down, or no one else produces.

They're going to have to evaluate if giving Thomas, Bradley and smart a combined $100M a year is a good idea (it's not). Ainge likely realizes that already.

Ainge is probably having sleepless nights as is. What team is going to throw the kitchen sink to give Thomas a $200M deal going into his 30s? There's really not many positive possibilities in that regard unless Boston can defeat Cleveland.

Wow. Bad. But maybe great long term.

KP "liked" Melo's post. In 2017, I, a grown man, am following such frivolities.

it shows he actually cares BUT skipping meetings is not the right way to go about it

KP and Lee for Lavine, Dunn and the wolves pick! Who says no?!

but if there was ever a time for an exception - it's this guy, this team and this time. What a disgraceful year on and off the court.

.

Idiots run this team. Meetings are only of any value if you trust the team and they know what they're doing. None of that fits the Knicks.

Nothing to see here. Dolan will fix it all by banning a season ticket holder for saying something mean to him. This mess is all a figment of all the fans imagination

Melo is only a sympathetic figure for idiots. He hasn't played well enough or hard enough for me to feel any sympathy towards him (as it pertains to Phil).

To be perfectly honest, I feel somewhat similarly about KP. I don't give a shit if he skipped the exit meeting, but KP could've cured a lot of the "dysfunction" by playing better after his injury.

Hmm
Espn - ( New Window )

if he plans on following Melo and being a diva.

Wow. The future of the team and arguably the best player has one moment of frustration and suddenly he "needs to play better if he's gonna be a diva?" Cmon man.

it is going to be an eventful offseason..

If clippers lose first round expect the rumors to start rather quickly

for Bosh and Miami's pick who says no?

I feel like in theory it makes sense for both sides.

I honestly don't care what we get back for Melo, as long as it's not a long-term contract. I just want him off the team, even if it means a buy-out (extreme worst case scenario). When the lottery pick shows up for freakin' Summer League, I don't want Melo around. I just want to move on. Everyone with a brain should want to move on.

Derrick Rose? No. Just no.

if he was strictly used as a guy to get in the paint and score i dont think it is a bad thing...

BUT you need to have a good defnder and distributor at the point or 2 and the problem is rose will never take a backseat...

1. Didn't put in ANY defensive effort
2. Didn't display any chemistry with KP
3. 4th knee surgery
4. Went AWOL
5. They are rebuilding, he's going to want to get his numbers and rebuild his FA value
6. Openly took shots at Hornacek
7. Supposedly didn't get along with Hornacek behind the scenes
8. NEVER healthy


Awful idea I'm sorry.

Rose has been increasingly frustrated with how this Knicks season has unfolded, culminating with him privately fuming over his diminished late-game role in Friday night�s victory in Milwaukee, sources said. Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek played undrafted rookie Ron Baker over Rose in the fourth quarter.

Rose has been privately critical of Hornacek, but no one in the locker room � or management � has expressed any issues with how Hornacek has coached Rose, league sources said.

-something along the lines of �how about you just show up for work and do your own job.�

Instead, Jeff Hornacek seemed to take Rose�s suggestion that he push the team harder on defense in stride, calling it �typical talk.�


It would be truly awful. Absolutely not. No fucking way. As I said previously if he's back I won't be posting on BBI regarding the Knicks next season.

i just said if the role was right it wouldnt be horrible but his perfect role he will never accept

his perfect role is 6th man off the bench instant offense
