This is hilariously bad for the knicks
In my eyes this season is lost. My goal was to get rid of the bigger contracts for solid players on more attractive deals that could be flipped or kept (henderson/Marion expiring). Also trade machine doesnt allow the addition of draft pics. Since Carmelo anthony is still in his prime and i would be sending shumpert along with him to charlotte I would ask for both of the first rounders they have this year (1 from detriot, 1 from portland).
From dallas i would try to get one or both of their second round pick possibly with cash considerations
This trade is good for the Cats and puts them in win now mode and a decent balance of offense and defense since MKG will cover for Carmelo. Their lineup would look like this
Kemba
Shump
MKG
Melo
Zeller/Biyimbo
Dallas lineup would look like
Felton
Ellis
Carter
Dirk
Chandler
NY would look like
Calderon/Prigs
Henderson/Hardaway
Marion/ MWP
Bargs/Amare
Big AL
plus 2 first rounders in the '14 draft (both between 15-30) and possible 1 or 2 second rounders from Dallas
The only problem with this scenario is Melo opting out and most likely going to a Big city. So charlotte would be reluctant to give both first rounders.
