For those of you saying "We'll just build around STAT and Melo", "Vets will be lining up to play here", "Dolan's prepared to go over the cap", "DWill or D12 or CP3 in 2012" and so on, you could very well be hit with an abrupt reeming after CBA talks are concluded and changes are made.
Are you suggesting it would have been better to not make this trade & wait things out based on pure blind faith that Melo would sign with us as a free agent, assuming no franchise player tag is part of the new CBA & assuming there would be no change of heart in Melo from now til June? That's a huge risk you're taking with the future of your franchise going that route for the sake of holding onto a couple more role players, isn't it?
