Of course you gotta have a gangsta mentality to win in this league. Did you see how Artest snatched the rebound from Glenn Davis' hands in the NBA finals game? That's gangsta - that's Melo. that's NY. Knicks are now a decent team on the rise with 11 games on National TV next season. He's welcome to take a peek...

He may go to NY. In 2 or 3 years, I still think he will sign the extension due to the uncertainty of the collective bargaining agreement coming soon.

Given how New Orlean's handled the CP3 situation because he's under contract with them Melo won't dare sign. He's made a lot of money in this league already to give a damn about 65 mil. It aint like he can't or won't make that anywhere he goes with or without a new CBA.

Melo wasnt the biggest gangsta on his team in Denver...that role belongs to Kenyon Martin !

NY gangsta? As a state yea but not in the NBA !

The Knicks are far from a good team...they only have 1 good player & even he is coming into a new system !

Dont fool yourself...those 11 games on national tv were because they are playing the Heat, Bulls, Magic, Celtics, etc.

He wont make 21M with any other team that signs him !

If he wants to win he is better off staying in Denver than going to NY !

Knicks may finally turn things around next year, although throwing all your chips at a free agent ain't always the best option.

Let's see if 6th-12th in the East is worth two seasons of sucking.

I agree !

Just ask NY Knicks fans how that turned out with LBJ !

Overpaying for a free agent doesn't seem so bad at the time but the contract could turn out to be a nightmare. From good teams to bad, a bloated contract kills. Even Orlando which reached the finals two years ago may never get over the hump because they are paying Rashard Lewis.

Of course the Knicks don't even think about playoffs matchups etc. they just want to have a winning record for once.

That is sad in the NBA where even such poorly run franchises as the 76ers, Clippers, Grizzly's (actually all teams except the T-Wolves) have made the playoffs more recently than the Knicks, some with payrolls half the size and half the resources of the front office, not to mention way less attractive cities.

So if they make the playoffs Knicks fans will consider that a good sign - that's like Detroit Lion's territory ouch.

Word.

Melo's stupid - just resign because of the uncertainty surrounding the CBA. Also, who would REALLY want to play for the Knicks?

I will go out on a limb & say the Knicks wont make the playoffs this year & will finish between the 10-12 seed !

Players who get over looked by other teams !

Hey Amare went to NY after the Heat decided to go with Bosh !

He is signng that extension and then will ask to get traded by February

which would complicate matters, lets hope they back load the contract...

Omg another full year of this BS

That's interesting that he is quoted as saying the uncertainty surrounding the CBA could lead him to sign the extension. That's the first time I've read he said anything about staying.
