melo thread 6 - Updt PG. 34 (Woj Tweets: NYK & HOU Reengage)!

[thebuzzardman]

Move makes sense for both teams. Cleveland can stay relevant post LBJ by maxing IT and they'll probably get a decent pick out of it while also finally addressing some defensive concerns by bringing on Crowder. Boston maxing IT could have been a disaster for them. Kyrie is younger and has 2 years of control including this one. It gives Boston more time to wait out Cleveland and GSWs reign. With this deal and the BK pick in tow they cement themselves as next in line for the next 5 years.

If I'm Cleveland I'm asking for that Boston pick or kick rocks

[battabing10]

Wow...Kyrie in Boston. I don't see how this helps us. I see LeBron asking for a trade soon! LOL

i don't see a whole lot of chemistry on boston if kyrie is there. he'll need to play off the ball with hayward quit a bit, share the playmaking duties. who know maybe they'll work great together, better than him and lebron anyway. i kind of don't see it.

sham bomb

Read on Twitter

Made the most sense given all the assets that Boston has. About time Ainge spent some.

[VirginiaKnickFan]

Are you guys worried about how current and future players are looking at how the Knicks' F.O. and fans are treating Carmelo?

Are you worried how Morey is perceived for not giving up two late late first rounders for Melo?

Didn't think so. Coolthanksbye.

Nice.

[louieOrr]

Meh, I don't see IT having the same success in Cle but whatever. Hard to feel anything but negative as Kyrie would make the Celtics better IF he stays healthy. Guess Kyrie expanded his list. Would have been nice to have Kyrie here but we were outbid. Yes if I'm Cle I absolutely want that BK 1st.

However if this may somehow pave the way for Melo to Cle for KLove & we can flip him or have a third team involved that nets us a top young talent and maybe a first? That would be quite the silver lining.

Still feels like he'll be here when training camp begins.

[louieOrr]

IT and Lue should definitely make it an everyday occurrence to play one on one in practice

[Dantares]

This can be a win win for both sides

Gives lebron a reason to stay
Celtics get the better player (yeah I said it, Kyrie > IT all day)


This can also possibly get Melo to reconsider Cleveland with IT there as well

do it please! so we can get a first round pick, expirings and cedi osman for melo. danny ainge is too dumb to do this trade, he overvalues his assets like crazy.

Whos cedi osman? I saw some of u guys talking about him but idk who he is. How good is he?

athletic euro small forward that can hussle and play defense but I don't think he can shoot as good as kuzminskas, though cedi can definitely hit shots. He was early second round pick drafted by the cavs a few years ago, he was considered a steal at the time. he would have been a first round pick if he could have come over the year he was drafted.

[Greenie]

And they just caught wind today?

Sources suck

[Appleshampoo]

Eh, we shouldn't make it personal or say that he's being selfish or whatever. We gave him the clause---he's using the clause, which WE gave him.

We should still be really firm, though, and be willing to bench him for the season. Again, nothing personal, and nothing involving feelings. You do what's best for you. We do what's best for us.

I am not phil. We are not responsible. Melo is being a butt head. Wait around and twiddle thumbs dictating the direction of a franchise. Making decisions that hold the organization back. Kyrie is sick and tired of LeBron doing the same

The organization doesn't come first for him nor should it. Is the organization putting him first? No.

Just like he has a NTC so does the Knicks. They are using theirs as well. If Melo was such a cancer and brought so much disfunction to this team we could have traded him for a bag of chips to a team he wanted to go to. Hell, look at what Dwight was just traded for.

or Melo could just add a couple teams to the list he will agree to be traded to...

[Greenie]

Give the Warriors the trophie.

Kyrie didn't have a no trade clause.

[JBreezeNY]

With this trade happening & a potential Wade buyout its looking like Melo might go to Cleveland if everything lines up.

Or he can dictate where he wishes to go because the Knicks gave him a NTC and fans can use some common sense because he's is doing nothing wrong by using what he was given to make sure he lands in the best situation...FOR HIM. Just like you would if you were in his shoes. It is not his job to think of the "fans". Stop it. You don't think about others who don't matter when you make career decisions.

For who?

[Greenie]

Love isn't going to be as easy as we think to move.

[3toheadmelo]

For who?

Their pick. Those fools actually gave Cleveland the Nets pick

You think we are getting that pick?

[Greenie]

Also Boston just got worse.

Who's their defensive specialist in the lineup? Smart?

They lost Bradley AND Crowder.

You think we are getting that pick?

I don't know, but it's possible

We can also do a pick swap but I'm not sure if the Nets will be even worse than us. They got talent and a good coach

[Billy Goat]

oh god that trade is awful for the Celtics. What the hell is AInge doing?
