Steve9347 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Get that money, Melo. You can't roll hard like LBJ and even Dwight Howard who left that max extension cash on the table. Enjoy the nothing that you'll have with you in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The Daily News is a tabloid and that reporter is the Knicks beats guy. So i would expect a non-commital pro-Knicks article like that from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) On another forum I'm on if you post a link from the NY Daily News you get banned since it's a tabloid so I guess I'm conditioned to it. But I'll believe it from anywhere else. I was mostly just messing around, and you obviously have to hear it from the horse's mouth before anything is official. It was just a funny initial reaction.

I think it's a pretty clear sign that Melo is fine trying it for a couple years and if he doesn't like it or Phil doesn't get the FA's he wants, he'll whine his way out of town like he did in Denver.

Yeah, just strange because any contract would be people paying for the year 30 and year 31 seasons. Now it will be him in decline for 32-onward. Also...didn't he want free agency so he could go to a team that wouldn't have to gut themselves for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I mean I think it's reasonable to assume that he didn't know until today. And then he told a friend and the friend told the reporter. Although the story doesn't quote the friend saying "Melo told me he's decided on the Knicks" (officially hit the bargaining stage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah except he'll be 32 with around $60 million left on that contract. It won't be the same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
