Melo has done his part. He has made this team relevant getting them their first playoff win in over a decade last year and leading them to the 2nd round this year. We have had pleasant surprises like Felton, shumpert, and prig and hopefully shumpert can take some notes from George and grow into a bigger role. Melo was on his own once again with the other stars failing him. Regardless to how this series ends, he did his part and deserves more reliable help.
maybe if we didn't have to gut the team when he forced the trade here, there would be assets for management to work with.
and does he have any assists?
Melo has failed these playoffs, by any metric.
Whole team is a failure. Whole team shoots 33%. It'd be one thing if everyone played well and Melo blew it (i.e. game 4 vs. the Celtics). The Pacers series has been everyone playing very, very badly.

Didn't gut the team. We lost gallo, chandler, and moz and have replaced their production. Got Felton back.

We would not have won a playoff series without getting him, so leave it at that. Nothing else matters but winning. How did Denver do?

Yes. We gutted the team.
Melo's been anything but a superstar or even star. If you said the supporting cast failed Felton, you would have had a point. I don't know what Felton has to do to get credit from some of you guys.

We gutted our only trade assets and cap space

We won a playoff series. Felton was not the leader to that. He was helpful but this team goes where Melo goes. This year it's 2nd round, much better than we have done in the past.

We could've beat a wounded 7th seed Celtics team

We would be over the cap regardless. We paid Melo instead of gallo and chandler combined. Better value.

Who says we had to pay Gallo and Chandler? I referred to them in my post as trade assets.

Exactly
There is no way the Knicks can comeback with this team next year. As Jackson said its a clumsy roster.

That team wouldn't been a 2 seed. 8 or 7 at best if they managed to crawl in...
Yea 40% shooting. Melo has sucked in the playoffs. 1 assist that's doing his part. He's really made a big difference. Beating one depleted shitty Boston squad. No different then marbury.
