I'd imagine the framework would be

NYK
Out - Melo
In - Harkless, unguaranteeds/expirings, maybe a first

HOU
Out - Anderson, unguaranteeds, first
In - Melo

BKN
Out - Whatever makes the salaries work
In - Crabbe, Leonard, pick

POR
Out - Crabbe, Leonard, first
In - Anderson

The finer details would need to be worked out, and the Blazers obviously need more, but it'd look something like this I imagine

I think Denver is in on this deal.

dear lord

It does make sense they would move Lin with Russell here

I mean age is literally the only factor in why you take Russell over Lin. Sure, Russell was the #2 pick, has a flashy game, but right now, objectively speaking, Lin is the better basketball player. If he wasn't 28 and Russell 20, it would be debatable. Last year Lin had better numbers in assists, rebounds, FG%, FT%, 3p% and assist to turnover ratio. He was injured and he's 8 years older, so that's why you take probably take Russell, but it's for potential, not what he is now. Russell is overrated by some on this board, he just hasn't been very good at all. Sure the Lakers had to dump Mosgov's contract, but Magic couldn't wait to get rid of Russell.

The whole damn team is based around potential if we going young then Lin shouldn't be included.

Magic couldn't wait to dump Mozgov's contract. I agree that Lin was the better player last year, but in terms of where the Knicks are at Russell makes so much more sense.

Potential, upside, and salary are "literally" other factors than age.

I posted something about 5/6 pages back that Denver was in the deal but it was just from some unreliable sauce but ya never know who knows what.

I don't care what we do with Melo just as long as we end up with a top 3 pick in next years draft. Hopefully, we're going the stealth tank route.

No, take one or two of the teams you mentioned out and put Denver in.

F*ck the Nets! I don't want them in any trade involving the Knicks. Their MO is to mess with us.

Highly unlikely. Russell was the centerpiece in their Lakers trade.

Lin would be a nice 6th man for Portland
