I don't disagree with you but they gave up too much for a guy that I don't think is as good as people think. Just my opinion of course.

Why not just sign him after the season and then Paul or Williams without giving up all the guys, picks and cash?

cant sign a max contract with all those players. who would you rather have melo, and those 3, or melo and paul/williams. give me melo paul/williams.

melo is probably the greatest scorer in the league(yes, better then durant) which is why this trade is a big deal.

this is also leading to chris paul or deron williams next year when billups contract expires.

the trio of anthony, stoudamire, and paul/williams wouldnt be possible if they kept chandler and gallinari, which is why this deal is so good for them.

Loss of all credibility to ever talk basketball again on this forum. Not even remotely close to Wade, James, Bryant, Durant, Dirk. Those guys are elite NBA Superstars. Melo is not on their level.

Melo is a better scorer than Durant LOL.

I just can't understand when Mozgov, Felton, Chandler and Gallo became All Stars? people are overvaluing them big time. Mozgov couldn't even crack the starting rotation 3 weeks ago, Chandler is a product of the system and goes into major funks and how quick every one forgets how big Felton benefited from the system. when he played in Charlotte he was run out of town for freaking DJ Augustin...lets see how well he does without Mike D's system...was he ever really going to compete for a spot with D Williams or Paul? absolutely not. only loss here is Gallo and even he is a crap shoot in it self. half of these guys were reserve role players on a .500 team....what are we talking about here?

i think you are the one who doesnt know basketball.

wade and james are not better pure scorers. durant is right up there with melo, dirk is below them.

best player and best scorer are 2 different things which you confuse.

if i want someone to give me instant offense, melo is the best. the best player is a different question.

bryant used to be the best, but he is not anymore.

nym its a great deal for the knicks. people will hate because its the knicks and melo. dont mean they know what they are talking about lol.

im not even a knicks fan, but at least i can talk sensibly without bias and recognize that melo alone will make them better then those 3 combined.

I didn't like the signing and I'm still not totally sold on it.

Yeah, ok you're right. Durant, Wade and James all average more points and always do but they're not pure scorers LOL. Melo is the best when you need instant offense over Durant, Wade, Dirk, James or Rose LOL. Good god some of you guys are too much.

Mets amare has been a knick for half a season right now he has gotten em a .500 mark and thats including a stretch were they went like 14-1 vs the easiest scheduling any team in the nba will see all year. Amare is a very good scorer and thats it. below avg rebounder for his position and atrocious defender. dido for mello.

amare is far from a superstar. mello is a superstar to your avg nba fan, not to your hardcore fan and league experts.

another Knick hater who was slamming the Knicks also when the Lebron stuff was going on after Amare signed.

so what were they supposed to do? stay neutral? the move dramatically increases their chances of winning. isn't that the point all of this? I'm sorry but you can't tell me they had a better chance of winning a championship with Gallianari, Felton and crew.

its funny that people are now bashing teams for trying to win. it's only cause it's the Knicks. in the haters minds they can't do anything right.

Has it crossed your mind that we in know way dislike the Knicks and are just basketball fans making observations about a blockbuster trade? I could care less about the Knicks. Don't like or dislike them in any way.
