Dead on.

If you didn't watch the Knicks/follow the city papers last year, maybe you think Melo should have dragged that team to the playoffs. That team was an absolute wreck with everyone knowing that there were going to be seismic changes after the year. Injuries, players not caring, etc.

BTW, Melo was injured and still played most of the season. And he led the league in minutes. And got a career high in rebounds per game. And scored 28 per game.

He's going to end his career with 10+ all star games. Be top 5 in scoring if he wants to play long enough all time. He'll probably get one more gold medal if he plays in 2016. BTW, he's already 40th in all time scoring, ahead of a LOT of HoF players.

And if he only wins one, just one, title with the Knicks, he will be a god.

One other thing, don't think that Chicago would have been the right move. Besides the obvious pay cut he would have had to take, he would have been banking on DRose being back to near 100%, Thibedeau staying in Chicago for another 4 years (definitely not a sure thing) and Joakim Noah staying healthy and playing at the level he played at last year. And this all to be smashed by a Western Conference team like SA or OKC in the Finals.
