He had a great 1st half of the season with us and then he fell off and never returned. So there's a reason for that.Quote:

To be fair with the exception of myself and 2-3 other Knicks fans, everyone hated him last season. I was hoping he would return to his first half of hid rookie season's level of play.Quote:

TOR did NY a favor on two ends. Nash is already hurt and Kidd has been invaluable to NY.
Having Kidd & keeping Shump was the best move for NY.
Then giving Fields that contracts also led to NY getting Ronnie Brewer, who has also been amazing on both ends, yet making less than $1m.
My thinking exactlyQuote:

Colangelo was borderline obsessed with a guy who clearly didn't want to go there.
Lets just say he got played.Quote:

When he first came to NY there were no expectations and he was happy to just make the team and he played loose.
Then when Melo came NY had expectations and with the roster gutted alot was expected of Fields and thats when he really started pressing and struggling.
Giving him a $20m contract must put the weight of the world on his shoulders, and I don't think he can handle it.
All I have to say is thank you Raps.
why would a gm sign a knick reject to a long term contract?
Try to block a trade for a player that wanted no part of his team to begin with. He helped us out a lotQuote:

How about when Bosh missed a lay up to a win a game that would have kept them in the playoffs, its happens to better players than fields
