Melo would have been with LeBron and Wade if his agent didn’t screwup his 2007 extension. LeBron/Wade/Bosh all did extensions with player options after year 3. Melo didn’t do that and took the full 5 year max. Thus he couldn’t become a FA till 2012. Melo then because of the upcoming lockout in 2011 forced his way out of Denver earlier than he needed too because he wanted more money. That forced the Knicks to give up more assets than it should have if Melo was disgruntled and leaving Denver. Melo wanting that extra money killed his chance to win. He got his money which is honestly is a nice consolation prize. [/QUOTE]
