Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2585105, member: 874"] Melo's legacy is this. He chased money and location instead of chasing rings. That's cool, as long that's what he wanted. He could've taken less money, still been in the upper .1% of earnersin the U.S., and put himself in a better position to win. He messed that decision up twice. For me, that's not hindsight. I thought he made the wrong choice at the time, both times, assuming winning was the primary goal. I was never a Stoudemire fan and when he resigned I had no faith in Phil. Given his age at that point, and how short most player's primes are, I thought Melo's window was too small to take a chance on Phil building a team quickly. I wish I had been wrong because I always wanted a 'cuse player to lead a NBA team to a ring. [/QUOTE]
