This morning, ESPN reported that Carmelo Anthony will not sign a contract extension unless the Nuggets trade him to the Knicks. My first thought upon seeing that was, what a fool.
I would say that the Summer of Lebron taught Melo nothing, and point at the Lakers, Spurs, Celtics, and Mavs as examples of where solid rotations and team chemistry turns out to be way better than a bunch of stars thrown together. But that's not what it is about for Melo. As he says to Chris Sheridan, he wants to be wanted. Walking through the Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of, people were yelling for him to come. He is only human. It is understandable that he wants to have a good time and look out for himself. But still, what a fool.
