Report: David West 'is not coming to the Knicks' wants to join a contender.

Long as he doesn't overvalue himself.

Right move by West. Carmelo is disgruntled, they just picked a kid that is at least 2-3 years away more than likely. The near future isn't good for them/him in that situation.

I don't think there will be a time when Carmelo isn't disgruntled on the Knicks. He chose his own demise tho, could have had a fighting chance at the Finals by signing with the Bulls

He's not coming to the Knicks to join a contender so he'll stay in Indiana. Hmm...

Only you, Niko, could compare a team that has made the playoffs 5?/6 years and has taken the eventual champs to 7 games (and made the conference finals two years in a row) to a team that hasnt been out of the first round in the last 15 years.

PG was/is the heart and soul of this pacers team. He is a young stud in his prime, taken out by a freak and gruesome injury. The knicks are all over the place. I do like the idea of monroe on the squad, but this team has one surefire starter/star in melo and a bunch of uncertainty.

Why would the Knicks even want him?

I didn't say Knicks were anything special. But OP said contender and Indiana is not a contender. Only Niko apparently reads the original post.
