If you say so.
Melo doesn't have some broadcast for his decision or write an essay about it. He may care about money but he's never been one to crave attention on a LeBron level or even close. Just another hater, I presume. I suppose you think he will never win, is just a loser, overrated etc.
Melo rarely puts himself in the media, not his fault ESPN covers everything incessantly. When's the last time you saw him on ESPN doing an interview?
Melo wants to win but he also wants it to happen in NY. He has said in the past it's not all about the money but also that he wants to lure players to come to NY with him. He's in a tough spot now.
