Illiteracy is rife on this site.
How have any of the posters who see the pristine clarity of the issue with the Melo trade actually compared him to those that were traded? We KNOW that his talents eclipse theirs. ****ing hell.
Their, my, our, his take is not about talent VS talent, it's about scenario VS scenario! All for the sake of an extra $1M/year for one individual!
I beg you, get out your abacus and tally. Tally ho!
Do you not understand!?
Eye read word - brain get message - brain no work: seems like the process of deliberation is precisely that, honestly.
Exactly. This has nothing to do with talent, or records pre/post trade, or even the act of trading for Melo, and all to do with the choice Melo made. He forced us to do the trade because he wanted money over winning. Nothing else. He forced us to sacrifice for his own gain. Nothing else.
Even Melo had to know that getting him during free agency vs. giving up talent, assets and draft picks is better for the Knicks and gives him a better chance at winning a championship with the Knicks. But that didn't bother him. He wanted money. All $1.45 mil/year of it. Justifying his greed with name calling, insults and comparing talents just seems like a fan of Melo more than the Knicks. I root for the jersey, not the player.
