Message: [QUOTE="UconnFanNVa, post: 2345228, member: 5187"] As a Knicks fan i agree with this. However the other knock on Mel is that he wasnt willing to take less money or take some sort of sacrifice to play around more talent. I'm of the belief that a player shouldnt have to do that, and i almost look down on players that do do that to get an edge. However, by forcing a trade to the Knicks and gutting the team, he set himself up for failure. Furthermore, its just the way things are in today's NBA, if you want alot of talent around you, somebody has to take less money. Without making a sacrifice, you wont be able to compete for a title and create the kind of legacy you are looking for. I wish him well though, I think he gets unfairly criticized a bit. I think this year in OKC we'll all see more how Melo should fit in with the right players around him. [/QUOTE]
