Carmelo #3: Vertical: Knicks want to trade Melo and build around Kristaps Porzingis

Post #621 » by **duetta** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 9:05 pm

Again, remember the Ewing trade. The Knicks got picks in that one as well, while taking back stiffs. The picks mattered little. I just don't want bad contracts for a player who can be off our cap in 15 months.

The sooner we get going on an actual rebuild the better. No one will ever trade for Noah. Think Jerome James all over again. Almost Eddy Curry bad.

This is all BS to get the pot stiring so teams can start calling.

So Melo for Rivers, Johnson, two firsts and a swap option essentially
would do

Who do you think we are?

Utah Jazz fans?

We pass judgement at every smile or frown on a player.

With KP with bird rights, Melo gone, Rose gone. We'll have more than enough cap. It was a mistake, he can be the overpaid Vet cheer leading.

All we need to do, is convince this guy.

Heard the news and got ready this morning like....

Even the boys from my mother's village back home who became Knicks fans when she gave them 1994 Finals Knicks Champion T-Shirts, were celebrating with song and dance, they're happy we got the fourth pick already, now we're gonna get the number one.....haha...they're crazy....typical dreamer Knicks fans.

It's a good day. For the first time in my life, I am not concerned about getting somebody elses trash in false hope of something good....the Currys, Marburys, Francis', Tmacs, Pennys......siigggghhhh.....feels good.

It was already said we not taking back no average players with mid level deals. Just young guys, picks, or legit starters.

The Clippers do not have any picks for this upcoming draft?

Never wanted him here, due to the way he came here!

Why are some people talking like it's a done deal? All I see is speculation.

The Melo dark cloud that's hovering over the franchise is doing a good job of leading us in that direction right now. The team is demoralized and distracted. We look like the absolute worst team in the league right now. A roster shakeup could actually spark some life back into the team.
