This is sarcasm i hope, Brown had nothing but praise for felton, and missed him in charlotte.
Brown is brutal on his points. Jordan did not want to pay him. They made the playoffs in charlotte once upon a time.

Kidd said top 5 talent.
Listen if Melo plays over his head this year I will be the first to give him credit. Until then all this talk from all the players is the same thing we here every year. We were going to win the east last year after we added Chandler remember?

Yeah but the team has upgraded a lot. Start with the coach and go down the list. The Knicks are a much better team this year and they have a lot of depth.

This is prolly why you dont hold a position with a NBA organization right now.

Only they know why.
Why do bitches turn into bitches and talk bad about a player who we used to back and wish get minutes?
Its a money argument and Lin did the smart thing and made a grab.
Recently I was thinking about when MDA wanted to trade Melo for Deron Williams before he stepped down. The common viewpoint was that he was trying to get rid of Melo because he was stopping the offense. But thinking about it more adding Williams would have regulated Lin to the bench and probably made him more of a SG in the Barbosa role. MDA probably thought that Williams would upgrade the point guard play while Lin off the bench as a scorer could replace some of what Melo brought to the table in terms of scoring pts. MDA might have started to view Lin as more of combo guard just letting him score, pass, and make plays but not really run the point.
No I think Dantoni would've traded Melo for Ramon Sessions if he had the authority

Reguardless if thats true or not, that would mean taking PG duties away from Lin. So does that mean that MDA felt Lin was more of a combo guard?

No it means he wanted Melo out. They didn't mesh amd neither was changing.

So y out of the 5 positions he could trade Melo for Y would it be PG?

I think there was talk that D=Wil might be avaiable because he was not committing to resigning with NJ. I think that had more to do with the name that he suggested then anything else.

Yet bringing in Williams would have eatin Lin's mins and regulated him to the bench or more of off guard role. Y would you make that move if Lin is your PG.

Lin at sg would not have went well due to him being undersized and generally struggling on defense.
All in all, I am happy with the current roster and think the Knicks have generally done a good job rebuilding. Obviously, I would have loved to get a LeBron or Wade back in 2010 but the Knicks have a very solid roster now. This team is comparable to the Mavs team that won a title, imo (as in we have Kidd and Chandler, two players that can fill it up and a a few good three point shooters). It is up to the players and coaches to get the job done on the court.
