Trade Melo. They are not getting along, but moreso because of this:

And the one reason Im hopefull it happens, is not the dissecting of the Roster or anything that would make sense sports wise. Its the fact that Lin can get Dolan more money than Melo. Come on Dolan! Do what you do best. Follow the money!

He's having a bad year to this point. I don't know the numbers off hand, but I'd like to see what they were before he started dealing with all the injuries. He started off the season playing very well.
Anyway....I think Jordan, Bird, etc are clearly a different generation. Melo is a better offensive talent than Iverson. Iverson had one of the biggest hearts in the game though. As for the current generation in terms of pure offensive skill I think he's there with Kobe, LeBron and Wade. They all have different talents and shortcomings. The other 3 have obviously learned along the way that they need to be great defenders to be Championship caliber players.
So I absolutely stand by my statement that Melo is a once in a generation type offensive player.
As bad as Melo and knickerbocker slide been its all been Carmelo poor putrid play worst of his career
with that said can't fire the whole team even allstars & perhaps if Melo been here longer I'd offer guillotine
however he's not had 1 full regular season nor camp (strike) yet. So Melo hasnt been here a full season yet
we should wait til' season end playoffs OR no-playoffs (likely).
We in NY are all about giving time & patience even 1 full yr til year's end.
Its funny when Knicks were finally in NBA 2011 playoffs for 1st time in 1000 yrs,
MELO played his game his butt off & if not for NBA 'celtic' Refrees Won 2 games but we all know as fans
didnt work that way in Knicks getting sweep out of NBA 2011 playoffs by tired Boston Celtics Team
with no Billups and injured non-Amare last season.
Its funny
Amare and Mike D'Antoni love each other but neither can lead or show some guts
like Melo did undermanned Knicks vs Celtics last season NBA playoff sweep.
When I speak of Guts I dont understate Amare was injured in NBA playoffs last season, gave it a try
GUTs is leading young teammates.
Melo Anthony tried and didnt even know 1st or last names of some Knicks.
The soft Stoudemire & Mr D'Antoni always had a Steven Nash or Melo type to cover up their cotton-soft demeanor
or sins or of things never being PERFECT for D'Antoni or Stout to be winners. Its only way for Stoudemire and MDA to exist.
*Thank you Steve Nash
Also point out, Mr 'lame' Marbury helped SUNs year they actually won few NBA games int touch west playoffs
when a young Stoudemire and Shawn Marion didnt now a hoop from their a_ss-es yet.
anyhow voted
I'm sure it goes vs majority% ..respectively
LOL

Funny to see the results of this poll and think about what happened today. Those who voted for "Trade Melo" should definitely have an empty feeling right now.

I really will miss Sammy The Bull Gravano (AKA Phil Weber). He will now go back into witness protection where he belongs.
