I don't know if there's been a more useless "star" player in the game since he was drafted. He'll get you 27 a game, at least he used to, but they were always such a meaningless 27 and usually came at the cost of your entire offense stagnating and essentially playing 4 on 5 on defense. Now that he can't even get you that much he's more dead weight than ever so good luck to whoever signs him.
Please don't be the Bulls. We dodged that bullet a few years ago
Nope. We don't want his overrated ass back finding ways to corrupt Porter Jr.
I hope he goes to the Lakers. I'm a big fan of watching them lose.
The NFL wishes it had an offseason as interesting as the NBA (and the NBA wishes it had a regular season as interesting as the NFL).

I don't think truer words have been spoken. Holy shit that gif made me damn near spit coffee.
Melo to the lakers? Ehhhhhh hope it works out for him. Earn that ring dude
Loved the announcer trying to justify it by saying Melo's head hit KD's stomach. Don't come to Boston, melo. Please go to LA.
Dude can't corrupt anyone. Just let him retire in peace lol.
Greatest international basketball player of all-time.
Carmelo is a HOF... nobody takes as much shit as him other than Dwight Howard.

Please send Melo to the Wizards. Please. Give me a reason to completely dump that fucking team.
That trade to the Knicks that gutted the team, and the fact that his 2003 draft peers (Lebron, Bosh, Wade) all got rings will always make Carmelo look like a fool. He did have some great years with Denver and actually looked like he was on Kobe's level in the 2009 conference finals. He seemed to take international play more serious than anyone else too before Durant took over that role of Team USA leader.
The Melo Era in Knicks could've played out so differently if he simply waited to join the team in free agency. Melo got paid, but he underestimated the incompetence of the Knicks front office.
STAT put up MVP-caliber numbers for a couple of months before his knees exploded (right when the Suns said they would) and the Knicks had $20 mil chillin' in a suit for five years.
Jason Kidd was arguably the best PG during Melo's entire Knicks run, but he was 40 years old and went scoreless for his final ten games in a Knicks uniform.
Tyson Chandler was a solid get, but his offense was non-existant, he had the immune system of a small child with the legs to match:
His tap-out rebounds were okay, I guess.
JR Smith was Melo's second option with STAT sidelined, so that went as well as you'd expect it to. He was good for the highlights, but he wasn't consistent enough.
Steve Novak was one of the best shooters in the league, but once defenders realized that he couldn't put the ball on the floor, he became a waste of space.
Bargnani:
They traded their 2016 First Round Pick for that man. Yes, he injured himself on that play.
Shumpert's promising Rookie season got cut short when he tore his ACL (the same knee and day of D Rose, oddly enough) and he wasn't the same since. Nagging injuries stunted his development, so Iman did the NY thing and became a rapper.
Porzingis came around too late to really matter, but he had his share of issues as well. He was a 7'3" dude that was too weak to bully anyone in the post and his numbers fell off a cliff after November/December. Who knows what he'll be once he comes back from his ACL rehab?
There were plenty of Melo highlights in the Knicks era, but that's the only positive that you can extract from those 5~ years. The Knicks had chances to correct course (There were talks of trading Shumpert for Lowry back in 2013 or so), but things didn't pan out. At the end of the day, there's a good chance the Heatles would've run them over all the same so...
Melo was doomed.

Melo has been traded to Atlanta in a 3 team deal, then will be waived and become a free agent. It's expected he'll sign with the Rockets.

It's time to celebrate with songs about this

I like the acoustic one better.
Especially if he has to serve time for his battery charge from September 2017.
