Five months after swearing his allegiance to New York and signing a five-year, $124 million contract, sources told The Post the All-Star forward would be open to dropping his no-trade clause if team president Phil Jackson strikes a deal with a team Anthony would like to play for.

Who could afford that contract besides the Lakers? Thought he grew up, what a clown.

Also, Melo now willing to waive no-trade clause according to the NYPOST.
Knicks fans seem pretty reasonable about it, they'd be willing to send him here for:Wonderllama wrote:Send him to Chicago in exchange for three #1 picks, Jimmy Butler, Mirotic, Gasol, and whatever else makes the salaries work2010 wrote:I'd love to try to work a trade with the Bulls.
Taj, Butler, Mirotic, McDermott (plus filler to match salary).

I think his handlers might be overestimating just how much leverage he has though. He is signed. Someone like Charlotte could take him as a marquis name. Teams that are good now won't have the salary to trade for him.
Edit add: I'm reading that Melo also has a 15% trade kicker and a no trade clause. He can veto anything and if he gets moved, his deal goes up to over $140M. His agent deserves some kind of award.
For contracts and extensions signed before the current CBA took effect, a trade bonus is paid by the team receiving the player. For contracts and extensions signed under the current CBA, a trade bonus is paid by the team trading away the player.
Option years are not counted when determining the remaining value of the contract, unless already exercised. ETOs are counted.
Incentive compensation is not counted when determining the remaining value of the contract -- just base compensation.
A trade bonus cannot cause a player's salary to exceed the maximum salary, based on his years of service, during the year of the trade (see question number 99 for more information on this).
The value of a trade bonus is pro-rated during the season. In the above example, if the player is traded halfway through the fifth season, then the trade bonus would be $75,000.
Minimum salary contracts can contain trade bonuses. The bonus doesn't vest until a trade occurs, so it is ignored for signing purposes.
