He's made over $100 mil in his career so far. So $150 mil isn't enough, he's got to get $165 mil, at the expense of all the Knicks assets.
He would be a GOD if he waited and sacrficed for NY. Instead he's demanding WE sacrifice for HIM so he can get $165 mil instead of $150 mil.
Can we ever win a championship with a selfish player like this?
Melo has clashed with Karl his entire time in Denver. There have been many instances where Karl was upset with Melo not listening to him and him being more concerned with getting his points over winning.
Can we ever win a championship with a selfish player like this? Be careful what we wish for. This could end up being Marbury all over again.
Let's also add the article states: “This is like the Nets talks all over again: Denver keeps moving the goal posts,” one league source said. “They don’t know what they want there.”
“Donnie isn’t going to make a one-sided deal and gut his team to get this done now,” said one league source who regularly speaks to Walsh. “He’ll end up with two unhappy stars because they have no supporting cast. But if Dolan gets more involved in this, he could really makes a mess of this.”
You have to look at thing from all angles. That Mark Weinstein (Sp?) we just signed... He was GM for DEN, and was GOOD. The owner fired him so he could have his son run the team. That's nice right. Would you be pissed if you were Carmelo? Nepotism over merit?
Who is he playing with? JR Smith and K Martin aren't exactly outstanding citizens. Billups & Nene are it really. Billups just arrived. HOWEVER, as per the career stat line in the playoffs of 24.5 ppg, 7.1 rpg & 3.0 apg... I would say that's an unslefish superstar who gets the job done.
Maybe Carmelo si fed up with DENVER for playing this game of chicken... MAYBE CARMELO TOLD DENVER, and the owner's son, way back in August that he'll go to CHI, LAL, NYK or whatnot but nowhere. Maybe behind the scenes the 1st year GM and owner's son are jerking him around. We don't know. We are not privy to those private conversations. Respect is a 2-way street.
