    This always makes me chuckle. If you don't outscore opponents, you're going 0-82.

    Every sentense means Melo is gone, to me.

    The Q&A starts.
    Mills.     "In contact with Carmelo and others teams. Look at something that works for Carmelo and for us. But Carmelo can be a part of our team next year."

    Maybe that is why the Knicks have sucked for so long.... They aren't trying to outscore opponents. Don't they know the team with the highest score wins the game?

    it's pretty easy to tell when Olshey is deflecting, because he almost always tries to make some sort of joke while changing the subject.

    Why should he just say yeah we are going after Melo. Why not showcase the confidence. That's how you get star basketball players to come to your city.

    I understand not divulging information about prospective deals, keeping certain info internal within the organization. But, to say yeah we are going after him, what does that hurt or hinder?

    I like that with Olshey it's always just before it happens that you get the info...he doesn't want to play anything out in the media until it's done
