Melo is there to entertain, make money for MSG and Dolan.
Healthy or not this what he does an does very good.
Knicks are the most expensive NBA team - 3B+.
His window is closing and we will not be able to build the team up in time for him to contend for the chip in NY.
If Meno wants the title he should make up his mind and force the trade to contender.
If not he can end his career in NY watching the team slowly grow.
What man wants only man knows. It is all up to Melo.
As Phil rightfully stated Knicks will be good ether way so nothing to worry about.

Think Melo needs the same representation Matt Harvey has. One that complains about a teams demands that may hurt the players future. Unfortunately, Melo also is a gamer and may be too influenced by public opinion. I'm sure he is aware of the bad press and reaction by fans to players in the past that have not played through injuries. Unfortunate because more emphasis should be put on getting a player right, not what everyone else thinks.
This is false.http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basket...This was during the 2012-13 season.
He played just under 3000 minutes the following season. That doesn't happen if he has a balky knee. Melo turning his ankle on the ref and then playing 49 and 42 minutes in his first two games back caused/aggravated the issue. Hopefully he sits out through the all star break.

He absolutely have to sit.
And he should take it easy all the way after.
No point to use a lot of remaining miles this season.
