Deandre Jordan makes everybody look good on defense, even Raymond Felton

Wait until Rivers gets to NY :lol:

Melo doesn't want out

Phil hates Melo almost as much as he hates non triangular shapes for some reason.

Philly's not stupid. They have Simmons coming back soon.

You have to play first before you can be back

What's sad is that Simmons not playing is probably better than Rose actually playing

Rose's minutes are paving the way to the bright future of the Knicks.

Philly. They're trying to make the playoffs, right? We could probably get something for him.

Philly actually makes sense.

Rose
Stauskas
Covington
Simmons
Embid

Not bad at all

Plus they have the cap space to absorb him for almost nothing, as well as a bunch of assets. We wouldn't get much, but we could probably get a first + Randle. And with Embiid mentioning playoffs, the management is gonna be under pressure to perform. Plus Rose adds star power to their team

Indy might do that. If they would we should absolutely pull the trigger

If Phil pulls this off, would you say he's been decent as GM?

I would give him credit for the move, but he would have to do more for me to call his tenure as GM decent.

That's fair

Love or Griffin please. Or a Celtics package of young players/picks.

The whole point of getting rid of Melo is to acquire young talent and/or picks. Love and Griffin aren't young, and they sure as hell will ruin your draft position. You're missing the point of a rebuild. 2-3 (sometimes longer...) years of awful basketball to acquire young assets is EXACTLY what a rebuild is...

I seriously can't believe some of these people.. they still want names.

Philly not giving up a 1st for Rose. But they might give up a 1st for Redick when we get him though.

Compared to Rose's defense he'd look like the Glove 2.0 :lol:

Not sure, but Breen probably called him Nowitzki. He called everybody else Nowitzki.

Rivers plays defense and can play the 2.

Rivers wouldn't look of KP

His daddy isn't here to give him the green light

the only time when Rivers could even be considered decent is in LAC tho...I can already see him getting traded here, sucking, and then getting trashed on this board

The irony is going to be that he was the reason we gave up so much to get him and he's going to be the reason we get fleeced to get rid of him.
