Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3013925, member: 652"] Melo wanting money killed his chances for a ring. I don’t blame for taking the money either. His draft class mates all took extensions in 2008 but included opt outs for the summer of 2010. LeBron, Wade, Bosh. Melo didn’t follow their lead he took a full 5 year max without opt outs. Then because he wanted more money he got the Knicks to over pay in a trade and gut their assets to trade for him during the season so he could sign his extension before the upcoming lockout. Melo is a HOFer but he screwed his own NBA success by those 2 moves. If he is a FA in the summer of the 2010 he hooks up LeBron and Wade in Miami most likely as LeBron and Melo were tighter and part of the banana boat crew. Bosh became the 3rd guy because he was on the Olympic team and was a good backup. [/QUOTE]
