The Los Angeles Clippers haven't ruled out pursuing Carmelo Anthony who will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Anthony and Chris Paul have long been close friends, with Paul making an infamous speech at Anthony's wedding about the two playing together someday.

There were trade rumors involving Blake Griffin for Anthony several months ago that were flatly denied by the Clippers.

Melo & Shump for Barnes, Redick, Jordan, maybe Bullock and 2016 or 2017 first round pick?

If they could find another big man willing to sign for the minimum or their mid-level, that could work.

CP3, Shumpert, Melo, Blake, ?

I agree. Tyson would be perfect in the trade but would definitely not work cap wise. For the minimum, I think Okafor could work. Okafor will probably have a lot of suitors this summer because of what he brings to the table on defense. It would definitely be a gamble since he hasn't played basketball in awhile but it could be worth the gamble.

I think as Lakers fans we ought to stay in hibernation for a bit and not talk trash about any team. Just sayin'...

wow. so it's not just the knicks forum that comes up with insane trade offers.

the knicks don't deal carmelo to the clippers for those scraps and doc brown back to the future picks.

you know blake griffin has to be in there, just like he would have to be for lebron. not saying lebron and carmelo are the same caliber of player. just saying that you need to come up off of griffin to get into the conversation of either one.

and think of the organization in place now in new york. i'm sure you're familiar with the triangle concept. deandre jordan would be an ill fit, as tyson chandler would be. so i couldn't see him as the centerpiece of a melo deal. also, can't see the knicks wanting to pay j.j. redick long-term.

did collison pick up his player option? or does he have until the 30th to do so?
