Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 2638815, member: 57"] The Knuts have had their front office problems over the years, but at the point in time when they traded for Melo, Walsh was in charge and doing it right. They had a young core playing .500 ball at the time. I always believed that Walsh would not have given up nearly what he did for melo if he truly had a free hand, but Dolan forced the trade. To get melo the knicks gave up Chandler, Mozgov, Felton, Gallinari and two # 1s. If Melo waits and signs as a FA and the Knicks still have that core plus picks they are a strong playoff team plus they have the pieces to deal to get the second superstar. Instead, Melo was traded to team with over the hill vets that could only squeak out one more decent season and no future assets. If Melo really cared about winning could he have not seen that ??? He is not a stupid man, just a greedy one IMHO. [/QUOTE]
