    That's what Melo's knicks teammates have to say.
    It' was basically his way or the highway when Linsanity happened & when the knicks were playing team basketballs.
    Melo was all about him & killed the lil win streak & hype that Lin & the team brought back to the city of NYC & forced Pringle out of nyc.
    This guy says all the right thing but does all the wrong.
    When he said he's all about winning... & chose to stay w/ the sorry a** knicks...

    After that interview about coming off the bench I’d expect some teams to try and sign him.

    Two stars pushing for team to sign Melo, where have I heard that before and how did that work out? I don't think Melo would do well under a coach like Doc or Pop at all, but might be just what he's always needed. It's no surprise MDA doesn't demand respect. He does so by giving players freedom to make decisions and he has a solid track record, but he's not the Pop type who just literally demands it.

    Melo is like Dwight.
    Always say he will change but he never does. New team every year

    Early returns on Dwert are pretty positive.

    We actually did do Melo pretty dirty.

    I wish we could have seen him in the playoffs last year against GSW, just for fun.
