I would want him for at high price on another team. If he was 4-6 years younger I might think differently as he could still ball (score) then. Melo never was that good of a player in the first place, he was probaly a top 5 player for a year in his career, 2/3 years top 10 and that's it. Now he is old, spent, unmotivated and a weak defensively. He still is a good shooter and mature.
Melo had the frame, talent, fame, power, and youth to do almost everything in the NBA.
But, his uneducated or selfish move to force Denver to drop him in NY will cement his career. Knicks never (ok not never but in last 45 years, sans Riley era) had the knowledge and patience to build a good team. Melo stripped them of 4 starters and then he acted surprised/disappointed they can't compete. That is the biggest joke, an NBA all-star can't envision a team being weaker/depleted after losing 4 starters and future picks. Carmelo Einstein. He joined the shell of Amare Stoudmire to spread the narrative that he is joining another star, when in fact he was just joining NY city for his and his families business success. He signed his last deal forwardly knowing they will basically suck for years while also ignoring Chicago's great offer to join a much more talented team and to perhaps win his 4th series of at the time 11-year long career (14 and not counting that much more now).
We didn't need Melo 10 years ago (Big 3), 5 years ago (rebuild approaching) and now we need him even less. He was always a weak competitor, which is so funny since he was a killer scorer in the clutch. I guess that really confuses fans/observers. How could he be so good and yet bad at the same time?
