that story was way too long. 
 
anyway, fml. 

 

[buzzy]

Kinda shitty thing to say, imo.

 

[BwareDWare94]

He's selfish to the point of limiting both his and his team's actual potential on the court, so this doesn't surprise me.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

He wants to experience Free Agency.

 

[Pugz]

he wants to hear the teams pitch ideas to him. the dude just wants to be a bigger star. la bound? where else can he go? lol

 

[Giantmetfan07]

yea, and plus he'd get more by re-signing with us after hitting the market, right?
 
With how much he pushed to get to NY I don't see him leaving unless we piss him off or something. 

 

[Pugz]

or he sees the future is crippled and you guys cant get that much better? thats all i can think of.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

well him demanding a trade is part of what crippled our future. 

 

[NV]

So unnecessary.
 
Just creating drama.  

 

[The Guid]

He should definitely go to LA. Because overpaying a one-dimensional, prima donna definitely worked out last year.

 

[RipCity32]

He is staying in NY. Makes much more money with them via being a free agent. 30 million I believe.
Stephen A is on SportsCenter right now talking about how Melo loves money lol.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

he even said at shoot-around today that he's opting out for contractual reasons but that doesn't mean he wants to leave NY. 

 

[buzzy]

It's not like any team that could afford him are better than the Knicks.
But you'd think he cares about more than just money, otherwise he'd still be in Denver.

 

[Pugz]

he wants big market money.

 

[Steez]

Melo is going nowhere. I won't let him.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Melo wants to get paid like he's a player who can win a championship, but his very DNA as a player is every reason he'll never win a title. 

 

[VC15]

He's just doing the same thing that CP3 and D-Will did. He's not leaving.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I wouldn't say he is leaving, but I think he is threatening the Knicks to get better.

 

[RipCity32]

Melo will be one of those great players that never win a title.
