Wait...you think people would understand his reasons for leaving when he played a large part in inflexibility of the roster? I think the vitriol would be through the roof when he made his eventual return to the garden.

I wasn't in favor of the Chandlers signing, but he blew my expectations out of the water with his first couple seasons on the Knicks. Long-term that contract never really made sense.

Until Dolan no longer owns the team, the deeper the hole.
Think about this, Donald Sterling has been known to be the biggest cheapskate and wouldn't listen to anybody about running his team. He finally listened, fired Baylor and now the Clippers are a free agent destination. Dolan surrounds himself with yes men and controls what his employees say to the media. How is it that the richest franchise in the nba and the team in the biggest market continue to fuc things up? Ans. = Dolan.

Fast forward to now, blake does this move with semi regularity now. That's crazy.

This too.. Chandler was not worth 15 mil at the time, can't convince me otherwise.
is he overrated NOW? sure. he wasn't overrated after he played a big role in helping dallas get a championship though.
I didn't say anything about overrated though, it was the 15 million per year that blew my mind. I was OK with the sigining but the money they spent on him killed any shot of going after a legit superstar to pair up with Melo/Amare

Whatever you say man.
Everything I said about Carmelo 2 years ago was right... I'm just proven right again and again. When I said last year going into the playoffs it would be another typical good ol' Melo time, you got all defensive.
But I was right then... I'm right now... I'll be right 2 years from now when Knick fans can finally breathe and admit to themselves they never should have tried to build a winner around this guy.

Plenty and I remember him getting them to the playoffs two or three times and not making much noise.
He gets paid the same as LeBron and more than wade. Unless u feel wade and bron are incredibly underpaid I'm not sure what your missing

Then they introduced Pierre the Pelican and named their arena Smoothie King Center. Someone is trolling

yeah i think most people would be like "good for him," because they view the ineptitude from the knicks organization as being greater than any limitations carmelo placed on the team. sure there's always gonna be disgruntled fans, but definitely not to the level where their jeers drown out the garden

melo to the knicks hasnt been a complete failure
they did win their division and had great season last year
but it has been a disappointing bc it was suppose to be challenging the heat for the east

i don't think anyone would disagree with this. we knicks fans have known this forever.
dolan and his family ain't never gonna give up the knicks though. they're one of the biggest money making franchises in the entire world of sports. seats are always filled, product sells like mad, etc, yet the team is lackluster year after year

how can you blame melo when he has to play with amare, jr smith, ray felton, and tyson chandler?
EDIT: and coached by mike woodson

As a #1 option, Bosh would revert back to Toronto Bosh. What would Joe Johnson be as a #1 option??

Bosh would've got the same contract as Amare if he didn't decide to sign with MIA.
They did what they had to do in order to fit all 3 in their budget. I remember reading an article at the time that said Bron/Wade wanted Bosh to get more money than them because they knew they could make up the difference with their individual endorsements.

Yo that Felton story is disgusting.
She used him to pay for law school then divorced him then put a gun charge on him in NY.
You foul ma. You foul as hell.

I think he does, he's soft and dis interested at times. ROLO is covering up from him getting exposed and we are still one of the worst defensive teams in the paint.
