Melo Trade Thread "Ice Cube Family movie edition"

Favors ? More big men right lol. What else would the Knicks be getting.

[Carl_Karlson]

No chance anything happens now, save your refresh finger and watch the espys

I only like the first part of the suggestion. The espys can fck off

I think it's all about just getting rid of Melo and his contract to the Knicks....you know, like it was a month ago when all anyone cared about was just getting Melo and his contract gone.

I can't disagree more.

It's about minimizing the long-term impact of his contract on the team's fortunes. If we're paying stiffs for years after this season, then Mills spit the bit - and needs to go.

Otherwise, just let him play out the year, while encouraging him to take the opt-out and join up with Lebron (or whoever) wherever he goes after next season.

We're not winning anything significant next season under even ideal circumstances - and so taking as much time as necessary to guarantee that the toxic impact of that contract is minimized is the most important consideration.

Honestly this has been a really fun offseason. I may regret what they put on the floor come October but this offseason has been fun.

6-7 All-Stars have been moved. That HAS to be a record.

ok

this is my 4 team deal

NY sends Melo, Thomas and Lee out
NY gets Reggies Jackson, Stanley Johnson, Chandler Parsons, Andrew Harrison, Houston 2020 1st round pick, Houston 2022 1st round pick top 10 protected


Houston trades Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza, 2020 1st round pick, 2022 1st round pick top 10 protected, 2018 2nd round pick
Houston gets Carmelo and Courtney Lee

Detroit trades Reggies Jackson and Stanley Johnson
Detroit gets Ryan Anderson, Memphis 2018 lottery protected pick and Houston 2018 2nd round pick


Memphis Trades Chadler Parsons, Andrew Harrison, 2018 lottery protected
Memphis gets Lance Thomas, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza

why oh why?

Memphis - they are gutted and committed to something. Gasol and Conley are alone out there right now and Parsons has been a failure. They move Parsons contract and get three rotation players. Thomas fits in perfectly off the bench, Gordon starts at the 2 and Ariza starts at the 3. They all fit perfectly. Major team upgrade on both ends. Costs them a pick.


Det - they move Jackson, which is a priority, and it costs them Johnson, which they can live with. Except they get Memphis' pick so its cool. they love it.


Houston - they get Melo. Its gonna cost them though. The do move Anderson's contract but have to move Ariza and Gordon too. Lee fits in perfectly with them as an Ariza/Gordon replacement. Besides they have Paul and Harden and Melo. They need an off the ball defender like Lee, not Gordon.



NY - we lose melo and have to take on some contracts. Jackson is our starting PG. Its not pretty or popular but its ok. Parsons is our starting SF. Its very popular. He's gonna be a chick magnet and popular player in NY despite his contract and injury issues. However the real gems are 2 picks from Houston, Stanley Johnson who actually might be the starting SF and Harrison who we liked in the draft. Its not the best return but it keep people from getting fired and skewered in the press.

two picks, an young upside guy of quality, a potentially upside PG who can run and score with THjr, and a charismatic SF who can space the floor and moves the ball well and is best on a bad team where he's not the primary offense.


thoughts?

id be ok with that. i dont think we get back half that. dunno what everyone else is expecting.

You crying about hardaways contract but then your fine taking parsons ? Wtf

i think fans are delusional about what is realistic

if we take on parsons and jackson and get Johnson and Harrison and two picks itll be fine

its not like were trying to make the playoffs


and Jackson, Parsons and Noah all expire together

im not thrilled about any of this

I'm just offering a realistic scenario with the players involved

LMFAO! NOW WE GOT SAUCES SAYING UTAH! FOH!

[fatalogic]

Anderson needs to go to Utah, I've been saying it for a week. Him and Gobert compliment each other perfectly up front.

From a different fan who claims sources on a Rockets board:

Jazz willing to take Anderson and a first for Favors and Diaw. Morey looking for a better deal. Knicks would take favors. Portland will give up a second to get rid of Davis. So we could theoretically do 4 way by Saturday with Utah/Portland that would net us melo/davis and a second for Anderson/ngs/and a first with Diaw going to Portland and being waived.

Portland willing to give up a first if they could drop below luxury tax. We can't get that done.

Morey trying to figure out how to unload Anderson without sending a first now. Looking for a better deal that would only require us to give up a second or a couple seconds.

Wait so what would we even be getting in that deal besides Favors?

[VirginiaKnickFan]

So Marc Berman is saying a deal probably won't be done until after the Rockets presser on Friday for Chris Paul . According to his sources.

If anything, you'd think the deal would get done before so they can have a joint presser.

Logic and Berman are an oxymoron.

And what happened to him, just look at his #'s and his production fell off a cliff last year.

He's been injured a lot, and he can't really shoot, so he's kind of a liability next to Gobert

Him and KP in the frontcourt would be nice as a small-ball group, he can score around the basket and in the post

[ctorres]

I really hope that the only reason the trade hasn't happened yet is because the players, their agents, and the teams have insisted on waiting until Friday for PR reasons.
