5 Team Mega Trade -

NYK Out - C. Anthony, C. Lee
NYK In - M. Harkless, I. Hartenstein, POR '19 1st round pick, Rights to '19 second round pick from MIN/LAL

NOL Out - D. Cousins
NOL In - J. Lin, E. Gordon, HOU '20 2nd round, HOU '22 1st round pick

POR Out - M. Harkless, M. Leonard, POR 2019 1st round pick, Rights to '19 second round pick from MIN/LAL
POR In - R. Anderson, T. Ariza, C. Capela

HOU Out - R. Anderson, T. Ariza, C. Capela, E. Gordon, I. Hartenstein, HOU '20 & '22 1st round draft pick, HOU '20 2nd round draft pick
HOU In - D. Cousins, C. Anthony, C. Lee

BKN Out - J. Lin
BKN In - M. Leonard, HOU '20 1st round pick,

NYK - Gets a young, starting SF and a prospect along with a solid 1st round. and 2nd round pick for Lee & Melo.

NOL - Gets Lin who they may end up needing since Jrue is up in the air & Gordon who can definitely help fill their roster along with a 1st and 2nd in exchange for Cousins who's leaving them next season anyway.

POR - Gets 3 starters to fill out their roster and compete - one being a young stud in Capela. They give up assets for this privilege (harkless and a 1st)

HOU - gets the most lethal starting lineup in the NBA.

BKN - continues their trend of picking up assets for taking on bad contracts & moves Lin since he is expendable for them and to make #'s work. They get a solid 1st rounder.

Knicks fans: We need a competent front office.

Also Knicks fans: Just do any deal already because I'm tired of waiting!!!

More like: "Do it already, because if you screw this up with Houston - Melo stays."

This guy again... did your "sources" feed you this one too?? What makes you think we're gonna get a kings ransom for Melo and Lee? What Chicago and Indy got for their former stars doesn't even add up to that package we're receiving for two inferior players. Either your "sources" are trolls or you are ballboy.

Blow me. I said it was AN IDEA - I didnt say it was from any source. I already said dont count on me as a source. F*ck off dork

P.S. Harkless, a 1st and a 2nd for a ten time allstar and a flex guard who plays good D and is coming off the best season of his career on a good contract ... a kings ransom?

[newyorker4ever]

You're willing to believe that doesn't mean it's true. His actions have shown it is not. He was getting out of Denver AND signing the max deal before the CBA expired. Fearing he was gonna lose money. Getting traded was ALL ABOUT THE MAX. He was not going to wait until FA. It was months away. He didn't need a trade in order to become a Knick. He needed it to get out of Denver AND get his max deal.

These are his actions and his words. None of them point to him truly wanting to play here or, even win here, as his demands made that difficult to do. BOTH times he got his max. He expected the TEAM to magically make it happen. He sacrificed nothing to get here or stay here. Then he wanted to be paid to leave? What part of any of this means he wanted to be a Knick? None.

Believe what you want but everyone (but you) knows he always wanted to be a New York Knick. Can't figure out how any Knicks fan wouldn't know this.

Hate to break it to you but he's right. Melo was very willing to go to Brooklyn. Brooklyn had a lot of hype at that time. Melo wanted to live in the city. At the end of the day, he probably preferred the Knicks but he would have taken whichever deal got done first. He didn't care if it was Manhattan or Brooklyn.

Ummmmmmmm i never said he wouldn't of gone to Brooklyn, i said he wanted to be a New York Knick so you didn't break anything to me cause i never said he wouldn't of gone to Brooklyn. I did say he wouldn't of signed an extension with Brooklyn cause he would of signed with the Knicks after his deal was done. Thank you

Wow... stay classy bud! Two days ago you claimed that your "sources" said that Brooklyn is being included in the deal....I'm not basing this off of nothing. I think you just got yourself banned tho bud all because you can't handle someone disagreeing with you.

And yes, that package is wayyyyy more than what Indy and Chicago got for better players. Sorry but, PG>Melo J.Butler>Melo

Lets get some more Lala bikini tweets. That's better than whatever this thread has disintegrated into...except for Sham and Wingo's aunt

Yeah, a photo of me laying next to her with my hand on her breast and the quote "Stay Me7o"

Are you really Chris Rock

no, but he did arrive at plymouth rock...so you're close

[boomann21]

We should just keep Melo and have him mentor the young guys.

Believe what you want but everyone (but you) knows he always wanted to be a New York Knick. Can't figure out how any Knicks fan wouldn't know this.

I am giving you facts about his OWN WORDS and his OWN ACTIONS and you're telling me that I don't know what he wanted? I'm not anti Melo. I'm anti false narrative. I'm anti fake news. I'm anti alternative facts mentality.

The guy wanted to sign the max before the CBA expired and he wanted out of Denver. He didn't only want the Knicks.

Like I said in my OP...we can give him credit for what he deserves credit for. We should be able to agree that, while he did gut the team, he's not the reason they couldn't build around him. We can show that he didn't want to play in the system of the team he just asked for a trade to. That was supposed to be put together for MDA. So the team backed Melo and that HC quit. How's that for helping the team build around you? Yes...MDA should have made it work. SSOL with an ISO player. One who isn't willing to change his game.

Hell...the more I look at this. **** MELO! I defended him for years and I defended that trade...that I didn't want. Now...discussing these chain of events. HE was a big part of the team struggling to build around him.

Get him out of here and move on.

You're not giving me facts or you could provide me with a link or something FROM MELO'S OWN MOUTH, and that's very important that it's from MELO'S OWN MOUTH and not someone close to Melo that's supposedly talking for him cause if you can't give me that then what you're saying isn't a fcat. Melo wanted to be a New York Knick but the talks went on too long and they wanted to get things going so they used that he would sign with Brooklyn to scare the Knicks into giving up the farm for him which they did.
