Message: [QUOTE="STEVEHOLT, post: 2585401, member: 522"] Player's force situations all the time because , especially in the NBA, they have leverage. They can basically create an untenable situation in the locker room / club house and make it a living hell for everyone, so they "force" a trade. Melo's mistake was had he simply waited, he could have signed with the knicks, received a big fat contract, and had better players around him. If winning was a priority, that is what he would have done. However, his actions throughout his career have shown that winning was not his priority. I have no problem with that. I think these guys should go for the buck every single time, but let's then not lie about what they did [/QUOTE]
