Melo needs to gain some weight b. Reminds me of Stan in that episode of American Dad when he thought he was overweight.

Please our boy looks good. This is a good thing.

Reminds me more of Rocky in Rocky III than American ******* Dad.

After he trains with Apollo and Duke in the hood, comes back slimmer, and beats the **** out of Clubber Lang

Who the hell does Melo think he is shedding some pounds?

 

[throwback1718]

My man torso was unbelievable

 

[hsalem]

That tank is deceiving, it's too big and makes him look skinny. Melo looking like he's in great shape 

 

[hsalem]

Melo took half the money up front :x

 

[lver of jordan]

"Carmelo Anthony is getting $62 million upfront as part of his new $124 mil contract with the Knicks."

God is Good

 

[nick.]

Supposedly that doesn't affect how much cap space we have

 

[kingfoamnyc]

So wait since he took half up front his yearly salary after this year wouldn't be 4 year 64 mill deal (16 mill per) ?

 

[hsalem]

Idk why I don't understand this, but what happens when there is non guaranteed money? And let's say the player gets injured, leaves the league? What happens to that salary/cap space

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Thanks nick. BOOO

Correct, but for some reason the cap room stays the same

I didn't know what ep he was talking about but damn you wild for this comparison

There is no non-guaranteed money for this contract If he leaves the league like to go play soccer in Brazil or something, he can't come back to the league until that contract is up and he's not getting paid. It's effectively void to the cap but if he comes up with some sort of buyout to leave then that would be that.

I'm sure the Knicks learned their lessons and there's some insurance clause in the contract.

Cuz you can't find loop holes in the cap. Melo simply chose how to get paid. This is no different than having a different payment method.

If you really think bout it if this were to affect the cap, we wouldn't be able to give him 64 mil in one season anyway He'd be the only person signed to the team and everybody else would be vet min and rookie contract status.

I think I just mixed the way NFL contracts work with the way NBA contracts work.

Melo looks fat in that painting.

 

[Mister Meaner]

The last GOOD game I went to (which means the last one I remember) was Christmas day v the Bulls pre-Melo.

Iirc, STAT had a crazy block on Rose that game.

And I went to the home opener last season, I think, or the season before.
