Says it was no accident that Phil and Melo was out a few days later after Phil's press conference...Melo didnt like that Phil tried to pressure him thru the media to take less...
news flash: phil does this all the time. melo can get in line of the players that got mad at phil for saying things about them to the media.
I think Stephen was stating his opinion that Melo is not the kind of guy to play with like that

SAS is saying Melo is very well respected in the NBA because he is a no nonsense guy that doesn't play games..He says that Melo was recruiting players..He says that Melo can bring more players in the Phil can...Bron wanted to come...SAS said this is the insider side of him talking...Wade wants more money in Miami and maybe Bosh to Dallas, maybe...

No he did not I was listening. The part about Phil wanting Melo to take less was not inside information.
if Woj doesn't report it then I do not believe it.
if SAS has so much insider information, why is he wrong so often?

What are u talking about, which part??...I meant to say if it didnt come over correctly that SAS said this is the insider part of him talking not the radio host side of him...Did you hear him not say that??

SAS is usually reliable as a reporter. it's his commentary that turns people off.

The part about Lebron having the Knicks on his list yes was insider information. The part about Melo not being happy about Phil suggesting he takes less is Stephens opinion

He made the call that Bron chose Miami...The biggest info of all...

You are losing me bro...I never heard of any list for Melo..He said Bron had a list of three teams that Bron is looking at...Where did I say that Melo not being happy with Phil is inside information???
I meant Lebron has a list not Melo
My bad I misunderstood. I thought you meant this was insider information. Why even start a thread over Stephen a's opinion though?
Yeah, there's two of them going.
We need another stupid Barkley thread.

Because it very relevant to the Knicks' off season...It was someting that has been speculated by posters here..Whether or not Phil's comments would rub Melo the wrong way..Playing Zen games with the media...
So because Stephen A said it then it must be true?
Steven A needs to bite someone else's beef jerky. Knicks fans are done going down that road at least I have.
Time line:
Melo said he'd consider less in February.
Listen to Phil reiterate that from your own ears, it was said very lightly and in context a positive way.
Time line: Melo and Phil had a post season sit down.
Conclusion: This thread has old information.
Opinion: Phil didn't come here to fail. Expectation of a starphuch kind of moment is not out of line. does it happen?
Tune in or Tune Out!
Phil needs slow his role playing Zen master with the media...He isn't the commodity, the players are...He need not try to back Melo into a wall using the press..I'm no genius but I could have made the call that this wouldn't be well received...Dude is a free agent and have options...

Who said it was not well received?
They dined afterward. You think Melo is that thin skinned?
