The object is being as bad as we've been the last 16 years but this time with 1st round draft picks than without.

Oh that's wassup...Noah packaged with Melo will definitely get the GM's itching to deal with us.

I like Lee but I think we send him out with Melo to get rid of some salary if we can -- kind of to mitigate the harm caused by Noah's contract, and to clear some money and time for Holiday.

I like Austin quite a bit.

He'll go.

Phil leaked through Rosen that he's willing to go to CLE or LAC. You have to be REALLY naive to think that Rosen wasn't writing for Phil.

Plus they're in talks now. They wouldn't be taking place if Melo wasn't willing to do it. Melo always said that if the team says they want to move on from him and rebuild, then he'll take traded seriously.

Duh!!! This organization is way behind. Why was this not the mindset during the summer? Instead we're stuck with Noah.

I thought then as I do now that they were looking to give it one last go with Melo. They essentially promised him as much (that they were going to try to win) when he re-signed so they got guys he thought he could win with. Didn't work. Now we move on and he gets his kicker.

You know what'd be hilarious? A Cleveland bench with:

Frye
Melo
Shump
JR

how sad this is

apparently most of the knicks fans here are so excited to see a move that they are not looking at this with open eyes

Melo is actually playing quite well - passing, rebounding, defending
the media has been up his a$$ about trades and he's been all class

meanwhile

Melo makes 5 mil a year more than Noah but there is zero talk about Noah and his contract
Phil has been invisible this whole time, which to me is really unacceptable
Phil has totally spoiled the relationship now and its gotten to the point where we dont have the option of trading Melo we now have the urgency to do so and that never leads to a good trade
Teams see this mess and players see this mess and none are gonna bend over backwards to make things better for us

Phil has screwed this up, not melo

and fans who just want Melo "the crybaby" or whatever gone are not thinking clearly
nor are fans who think picks are some magic bean that can't fail

Trading Melo to LA won't get us anything valuable
Trading Melo to Clev won't get us anything valuable

and then all of you crying for a trade will turn your attention to screaming for Phil's head for the bad trade

the only destination worth anything is Boston and that should make every real Knicks fan nauseous

unless we get BKs pick, Crowder and one of their guards like Smart or Bradley {with Amir Johnson to make salary work} then we are getting a bad deal

you dont make a deal just to make one
Id have thought knicks fans would understand that by now

James Dolan has to step in and put his foot in Phils ass if he tries to trade Melo for JJ Reddick and Jamal Crawford. Why are we settling in this situation? Melo is still a huge asset and if teams are not willing to trade quality assets back for him then hold on to him until the off season.
