Curious about Love and Blake

goldenbrandon · Post #1 » by **goldenbrandon** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 6:09 am

Let's say Melo did waive his no trade clause and accepted a trade to LA or Cleveland for Love or Blake. Where on Gods green earth will they play?? Neither plays center or small forward. And KP ain't moving over. Just a little curious about that.

They are both being spun for a pick...

This will get locked but since it seems you don't know the rules, I'll answer you.

1. Melo isn't getting traded
2. Clippers and the Cavs would NEVER give up those players for Melo
3. Worrying about Porzingis moving over doesn't matter because..
4. See point 1.

You can trade both of them easily if it doesnt work out.. and their value is actually higher than Melo's and they'd bring us back a lot more. If LA did happen to give us Blake tho I'd be tempted to keep him and see what he could do

When? Blake will be a free agent this summer.

Hypothetically if Blake weren't a free agent this coming summer tho that would be one hell of a steal for us to turn Melo into Blake Griffin

I'm definitely in the minority here but I prefer Melo over Blake. Blake is younger but that's it for me. He'll never be the scorer Melo is and he will miss large portions of the season the rest of his career. But it seems that's the absolute best we could get for Melo.

I understand the health concerns with Blake. It's fair, But it seems you and anyone else who rather Melo over Blake value scoring waaaay to much and nothing else when it comes to basketball. Blake is overall the better player at this point. He impacts the game in more ways than Melo does

Lol I'm just a die hard Melo fan. You're right though. I hate to see us losing and Melo pouring his heart out every night. Sad but I blame Phil for getting a not bad coach instead of the best available coach. When we made the move to get Rose, Phil should have went after Mark Jax or JVG. He got someone he could control. Overlooked non move. Bad coaching choices.

It's a hard pill to swallow but as Knicks fans wouldn't you guys want to tank out? Blake won't be good enough either. I think you guys need to accept a full rebuild.
Hopefully Porzingis chooses to stick around for it but all it takes is one high pick to reassure a guy you're team is on the right track.
I mean, did anyone actually like the Rose and Noah pickups? Nobody thought they'd challenge the Cavs or anything, right? I don't get what they were trying to accomplish.

I'm not a fan of tanking. Look at the 6ers. They been tanking for some time and will be in the lottery again. Unless there is a can't miss prospect I don't see the point of tanking for a kid to play in a mans league. If we tank I can see KP 30 years old with no playoff appearance
