Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 1844125, member: 39"] I'm sorry - I get the fact he made it clear that he wanted to play in New York, but Dolan is a complete moron and is 99% to blame for the "forced trade" and the situation the Knicks have been in. He is the one that overpaid to the millionth degree for Melo, who was scheduled to become a free agent in the summer anyway. Again, I understand if you want to say Carmelo "forced" a trade because that is essentially how it played out. But it's management's responsibility to understand that they don't need to mortgage the future for a player who wants to play for them in less than a year. Players do not dictate who is included in trades for them. Cannot stand the vast criticism from some about that trade. Carmelo should have kept his mouth shut but ultimately its Knicks management and his agent who are the people who should bear the brunt of it. [/QUOTE]
