Melo The Better Fit?

Via NY Post:

Nothing would bother him. The media wouldn’t bother him because he really likes people. The pressure wouldn’t bother him because he loves to have the game in his hands. Nothing bothers him.  He’s a better fit for New York than LeBron.  Melo is one of those guys who could handle New York very, very well.

I didn’t know we still had a choice…

    We will decide if he’s a better fit or not once he’s in a Knick uniform….no fantasty league 2k, live stuff over here….who ever is leaking that out of Melo’z camp need to relay a message that says Melo needs to demand a trade to NY and NY only(levarage or not..save it)…if he really feels that way then come SHOW us in a Knick uniform……talk is cheap round these parts…..

    Is he a better fit on the court? NO CHANCE! Does his personality fit NY better? Yes.

    Foreal, let’s get it done

    Though I would love Melo to become a Knick, I don’t think he would play well in the SSOL offense

  • brookdon

    A question???

    If you were Donnie Walsh and the Nuggets called you right now and said “right now the magic are ahead of the pack and we are close to accepting their offer but we will trade him to you if and only if your final offer is

    Eddy Curry
    Danilo Gallinari
    Anthony Randolph

    Would you accept it for Melo?

    I agree that Melo is just what his name is “Melo”. He is a perfect fit for NY. Just like Eli Manning is for NY he has that same attitude when the pressure is on. Eli may loosk like a wimp but he will never let the NY media get to him. Most players will fold when the media attacks them on the front page of the DN, Post, and NY times. The same pressure a pro athlete has to deal with in the 4th qtr of a close game is the same pressure the NY media will bring all year long. I don’t think LBJ, Wade or Bosh would be able to handle the NY media especially when you have problems with your wife or you decide to let espn convince you to let them host a show called “the Decision”. Melo is from here and he belongs here. MAKE IT HAPPEN

    I dont think any player is a better fit than Lebron on the court. It does not scare me to see Melo and Amare in a Pick and Roll. Lebron and Amare would have been incredible. Melo is the better iso player though. Lebron is better at everything else. It’s up to D’Antoni to maske it work. The pressure is on the coach and it seems that he can handle the NY media as he has already proven.

    AR is not available until DEC.15 but yes i would
    trade them both in a heartbeat.
