Chandler is better than Melo this season, younger, cheaper and knows this offense better.

Melo is a top 5 player in the NBA? Prove it. Dude isn't even top 15.

Stop buying the hype.

Come on Metro...Chandler better than Melo? Really? Melo is a better rebounder, scorer and clutch playmaker. I like Chandler, his versatility, his defense and his play but lets not get crazy. If Chandler could create his own shot and be a legit go-to player in the 4th you may have a point but he has not shown the ability to do so as of yet. He is a slasher and 3 point spot up shooter.

Melo is a legit 24+ point clutch scorer, underrated defender, above average rebounder and a true playmaker that would spread the floor allowing either Amare or Melo to go one on one against the other teams defense. I agree with a lot of what you say but boy will you be eating your words if we do pull the trigger and bring Melo on board.

Metro wont eat his words because he just doesn't like the guy. Maybe if he played for another national team idk.

Melo came into the league shittn (21 ppg and 6 reb).. He, right now is on pace to enter the HOF. How on earth can you continue to promulgate this unbelievable nonsense. Look @ this seasons numbers which are still robust even amongst all of the distractions. You are so sadly mistaken sir.

Comparatively Chandler's #'s, although I don't think the pure numbers can even save you from yo'self:

yeah I mean who was really killing us tonight.

Not Bynum/Gasol/Odom or Aldridge/Camby. It was freaking Kirelenko
because whoever was supposed to guard him kept wandering off and
no one boxed out.

The answer to the above..... Jefferson/ Okur/and Milsap owned the paint area.

This Carmelo-Fiasco should stay in Denver and in all the Nuggets-Forums.
Its obvious as a duck the Knicks be getting clobbered by oponents bigmen
lineup, we dont have any bigmen screening/picking on offense or defending
the paint area if someone gets beat off the dribble. Felton will worn-out in
midseason receiving 40+ minutes per game.

The Knicks management/ coaches/and players need to get their mind off of
Melo, especially when the main core of players in the rotation could use
another (penetrating) guard plus a bigman-rebounder added in the rotation
this midseason to prepare for the post season games.

New York Fans expectation will be HIGH as a Kite if Melo becomes a Knick
this season. They will forget about what the Knicks gave up to get Melo.
The Knicks only have one reliable SG on the roster in rookie Landry Fields,
and Denver would be a fool not to demand Landry Fields also in a trade for
Melo. Which would make the "Amare & Melo" tandem get swept in the first
round playoffs without a bigman-center or a decent SG to compliment Felton
in the backcourt on both sides of the court.

Listen we all know this isn't a two week process in building this team, we are gonna have to wait till the offseason for any decent big that can contribute and D'ant would consider playing w/o him having to score. I hate some of the guys on here talking like one big is going to repair all this teams problems when that is not true. Marc Gasol isn't even a defensive minded big, but thats who cats on here are clamoring for.

The backup pg problem I thought could be solved be trying to acquire Telfair from Minny. When it comes to a decent sg why haven't we tried to acquire Mayo? Him and Landry sharing the duties don't sound too bad, and he can play some point if D'ant wants a bigger lineup.

Wouldn't the expectations be high regardless? Especially after this years playoff run, this is NY's team am I right...

Lastly im tired of all these Melo threads as the next guy, but he's a great talent so you have to expect that.

All in all this project we have going in New York really isn't going to last long w/o something dramatic happening soon otherwise we will be stuck as a mediocre team until we become lottery bound again. Amar'e will be 29 later in the year, Felt will be in the 2nd year of his contract, Gallo probably will still be ultra streaky, Wilson could be gone after this year, etc. So something has to happen somewhere because if it doesn't, we as fans will suffer in the long run.

Scorer/playmaker is the same shit.

Rebounding, okay, but by what level? Melo isn't Blake Griffin or Kevin Love. He's a C level rebounder, just like Chandler. Its not a big difference.

Melo defense isn't even average, so put that away. He's been below to average most of his career.

Melo isn't an above average rebounder, so stop lying my brother. 6 rebounds is okay for a guy who spends most of his time in the paint/mid range.

I'm saying this SEASON I'll take Chandler's season over Melo.

Chandler has been more dynamic on both ends of the court.

Thats just a fact.

Melo is the better player obviously.

You guys get too emotional and jumpy at my comments.
But thats why I'm here, to rile you guys up and add excitement to the forums which its seriously lacking.

If you got haters, then you doing something right.

and Trill you my homeboy, but these other clowns I don't know. They put too much energy into the hater.
