Im a Knicks fan and would love to be proven wrong (I doubt it though), but how many excuses can you make for the guy I'm not even talking about a title, when is the last time his team was in the playoffs in the Eastern conference the 2012-13 season was the last time and he had a 40 year old Jason Kidd telling him how to run an offense. Melo is just lazy and doesn't even seem bothered by losing. I guess Phil thinks he can change Melo but I dont see it, the Knicks have actually looked somewhat promising Porzingis looks like the real deal (he need to be the go to guy), Melo just doesn't have it forget a title, at least Stockton and Malone, Reggie Miller, Ewing, Barkley etc would put forth a valiant effort to win. Melo went 3-15 with 8 pts against the Suns in a loss which he was the main reason why they lost and those stats dont even tell the story, Hornacek runs an exciting offense, Melo comes into the game and its as if everyone just freezes and watches Melo run his iso offense. Oh yeah did I mention he went to Cuse that would explain him being a loser .
