Seems like much.
WAY too much.
Think he's saying some combo of those things, not all of them together.
Personally I'd aim for MDJ, Snell, unguaranteeds, Sac pick, and a future Bulls first.
That's two firsts, a young player, and cap relief for the Knicks. MUCH better than what Cleveland got for Lebron.
I'll even toss in the CLE pick swap (unlikely as it is that NY would be able to use it) and take JR Smith if it helps them as well.
But this isn't a straight up trade like when Denver was shipping Melo to NY, so no, the Knicks can't expect a ransom of picks and Mirotic and McD because Melo has the power of FA behind him.
Oh, and to all the Knicks fans who think that the Knicks can just "refuse" to S&T Melo and that he'll wilt and come crawling back to NY for the max deal that other teams couldn't give him ... Time to wake up and join the real world. If the Knicks spite him by thwarting a S&T with a team that he's chosen, he's more likely to flip NY the bird and go anywhere else, even Houston or LA, then go back to NY. And those teams CAN offer him full non-Bird max contracts.
