If the Knicks win, it'll always be because of Lin and in spite of Carmelo. If they lose, it's because Carmelo came back. He'll demand to be traded soon. He can't win either way.
Carmelo is in a lose/lose situation in NY

#2I think this is a shame. The NBA is definately more exciting with a force in NY, but e media and NY fans are setting Carmelo up to fail. The guy is being crucified, in my opinion, and doesn't deserve it....at least not yet.Comment -

#7I think there are a few teams that wouldn't want him actually. The Bulls wouldn't want him because his defense is still bad despite what people are saying about it improving and he needs the ball too much and that would kill the Bulls' past first approach.Comment -

Heard an interesting rumor actually today.... Boozer/Watson/Gibson for Pau Gasol.
I'm on board as a Bulls fan if we can somehow keep Gibson, but I doubt the Lakers would do it.Comment -

#11Lots of teams would want Carmelo. Still an elite player AND he hasn't proven that he can't adjust to a Lin based offense....everyone just wants to act like he has.Comment -

No and his salary is way too much to be at best a 500 type player and a team killer
NBA not looking for guys like himComment -

What happened was the Knicks continued to suck and Denver blossomed.
Now some nobody comes from nowhere and brings some life where 'Melo brought none?
He makes zillions and delivered nothing to the W/L.
F him.Comment -

#19They just won against the Mavs... that crappy ass team with Dirk who just won the title. But they couldn't beat the Nets with him in there???? (no offence to Nets fans) He needs to pick it up and adjust to justify his $85mill contract now. This team starts to lose now = Melo is the cause. That's it.
And a determined Deron Williams = scarier than Dirk IMO.
Ask the 2005 Arizona Wildcats how safe they feel in the elite 8 with a 15 point lead, 4 minutes left, and facing a determined Deron Williams.Comment -

#20Realistically, I won't blame it on Melo and don't think anyone should. But they will. And that's natural. They beat the Mavs. And everything was clicking and if they don't sort it out, he'll take the fall (not jobwise obv because they can't sack him) but in the media. He's one of the best players in the league and it'll take a bit of time to not only adjust to having a PG but he's just coming back. However we're all fickle. If they don't win now, he's going to get caned.Comment -

#21there are not 32 teams in the league and like jj said he is a team killer, Antawn Jamison, Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter in that order the 3 biggest team killers in the league.

#29If the Knicks stink when Melo comes back it's for one reason only - you score that many points when you shoot the ball 200 times/game. Guy has incredible talent and no game.Comment -

#30I think the Knicks will be fine and eventually lock down the 3rd seed. They still have a line up that can play lockdown defense when they have Chandler, Jefferies, and Shumpert in. Those two losses under Lin, had more to do with New Orleans making 50% of their shots and the Nets making 15 three's. Any team shooting like that can beat anyone in the NBA, it don't matter how good your defense is.Comment -

#33the play was wide open and loose. When melo plays it's tight and stale. NO movement. Forced shots and stupid passes. Lin needs his 2 big men for the screen and roll. Knicks don't need howard, they need to dump Melo for next to nothing. This is a well rounded team without him.Comment
