I know you read this blog, so I urge you to hang tough buddy

We, your future fans, can only imagine the extraordinary pressure you must be under what with World Wide Wes, Leon Rose, the Denver organization, and Fat Joe all clamoring for your attention. If you hold your ground and make them deal you to N.Y. you would instantly become the most beloved sports figure in New York.  I know that I speak for many millions of others when I tell you that we will wear your jerseys, eat your candy bar (The Melo Roll), work out with your home exercise equipment and buy just about any piece of crap that you care to endorse. We will shower you with jeterian adoration before you ever take a shot. We will support your wife if she decides she wants to become the next Oprah. As much as LeBron is hated, you will be loved.

Come to us Melo. Your kingdom awaits you. Come to us.

P.S. Tell Fat Joe hi.
