He can still have the last laugh if we pay him $30m!
Im guessing that missing the playoffs for the first time in his career played into it .

well i guess he won't cause theirs zero chance of that happening..
He was 2nd team last year when we won and he put up similar numbers this season. Not surprising at all. If anything this plays to our advantage during free agency so i'm glad.
All-NBA 1st Team:
Kevin Durant
LeBron James
Joakim Noah
Chris Paul
James Harden
Um....Harden?

Harden isn't much better, but his team did make it to the playoffs in a much tougher conference.

I'm referring to the fact that he made the 1st team at all. Melo not making it isn't really a big deal to me.
Kevin Calabro voted James harden second team all nba defense.
2 things
1)Melo losses leverage
2)Melo is motivated

Harden's a shooting guard not a forward like Melo. What SG would you vote for All-NBA before HardeN?

Pretty much. In an 11 year career he's made 3rd team four times and 2nd team twice. This year I'm guessing he's also behind Blake, Love, Nowitzki, Duncan, Aldridge, and perhaps Anthony Davis.

which is positive. I think the voters got it right. When the team won 54 he was 2nd team and 3rd in MVP voting, and I think they got that right also. 37 wins and missing the playoffs but having good stats isnt impressive in the NBA. MLB is different. Melo, the Knicks.. it was a bad year. Terrible. All up from here.

I would put melo on my team before any of these guys, except maybe Davis. I thought Aldidge was coming into his own after the first 2 games in the 1st rnd, talk about dissappearing act..Dirk is done, timmy is twilight, and Love is injury prone..

Maybe Davis? In a year or two Davis will be one of the top 3 players in the NBA.

all those guys or at least their teams had much better years than Melo and the Knicks and thats how those things work. As for Anthony Davis he needs a better supporting cast but he's the next Kevin Garnett, only without the douchebaggery. Dudes gonna be a top player for sure.

Spot on Fish. Hard to give Melo an award after the way we crashed and burned. He worked his tail off, was 2nd in minutes, while nursing a shoulder injury, but in the end it wasn't enough to get them to the playoffs. No argument here.
