Now you know how some of us felt when trading for Carmelo Anthony especially right before he was to become a Free Agent.
That's like acting as if Melo never sucker punched Mardy Collins in the face and backpedaled like a Dime Trick Ho in MSG away from Nate and Jeffries....
Oh wait "TEAM MELO" has decided to black that out from their memory....My Bad
My advice to those on "TEAM MELO" better support what your Hero wants because he wants Rondo(although he'll never get him)
Denver and New York never had a rivarly.
Let's be honest, did we really care about Mardy Collins even when he was a Knick.
The Denver-NY brawl was entertaining and gave us something to talk about.
Melo, born in New York to a Nuyorican father and raised in BK till he hit double digits...never been a rival player to the Knicks.
Rondo has always been a thorn to the Knicks for the last 7 seasons. As much as Garnett and Pierce have been rivals to NY, Rondo also have been terrorizing us and embarrassing this team in the playoffs.
Personality wise, he's a locker room cancer. I'm surprised you ignore that but yet get on Melo's inability to get a team together.
Rondo's recent injury is pretty scary. Rondo needs his knee with how he plays, his style is dependent on his speed and ability to stay centered and balanced. Without a healthy knee, Rondo will degree and we won't be getting the Rondo of previous years.
We always seem to be taking teams injured and damaged players, from Antonio McDysess to Eddy Curry to Steve Francis all the way to Amare Stoudemire.
When do you want this to stop?
Theres other PG's that will be better than Rondo (a lot of young PG's developing currently). I believe if Knicks are smart they will make a move and give Melo the PG he deserves.
