Knicks-Related Trade "THOUGHTS" Thread

[sogood]

no chance. Cavs don't work like your front office.

Their draft selections say otherwise..

Your team gutted itself for Melo instead of signing him in FA. Stoudamire, traded for Bargnani. Picked up Billup's option just to amnesty him. Cavs can't touch any of that.

This dude again. All you do is go to other teams board and say Cavs won't do this or that. Chill. Post something useful for once.

Raptors fan here I come in PEACE I just want to congradulate you guys on picking up THJ so late in the draft! Hes an absoulute STEAL! Would you guys part ways with him? I was thinking along the lines of Lowry+2014 2nd Rounder for THJ? Would you guys say no considering the way Lowry has been playing?

Chandler + Prigs for Bynum + Memphis 1st (2015)

[DowNY]

Cavs get - Raymond Felton, JR Smith, Tour'e Murray, Cole Adrich & 2018 1st rd pick

Knicks get - Andrew Bynum & Dion Waiters

Start Dion Waiters at PG.
Pick up Bynum's option.

With Bynum, Amar'e, Chandler, Peace, Prigs & Bargs all as expirings next season, plus Shumpert & Waiters, we will have plenty of assets to make deals.

giving up a 1st round pick for 2 players that don't want to play for their current team?

[br7knicks]

seems like josh smith is already overstaying his welcome in DET.

I'd gladly take either of them but again, I'm not giving up a first round pick. I'm curious about what it would take to bring bynum here. they'd probably want tyson, but I'm not so sure I'd make that trade.

Bargs and Shump -4- Bynum and Waiters


You can start Waiters at the 2 opposite of a PG and still create a 2 point guard type line-up.

Target 2015 as the rebuild with our own first (top 4 minimum, we'd easily be the worst team in the league with Stat, JR and Bargs leading us ) and then two more mid/late 1st rounders.

Do you do it? Smith's contract is kinda "yikes" & cuts into the 2015 plan, but it does give us an interesting team.

And? Melo is very efficient when he has another volume scorer next to him.

...he is?

you think morey is going to trade for melo? really? aside from the obvious clashing of melo, harden, and howard...what about the fact that they have a solid small forward in parsons (who has arguably the best contract in the league, value wise) and there would not be a guarantee melo re-signs?

[Marty McFly]

nuggets are in an interesting situation. they've lost 6 straight games, they're outside of the playoffs as of this moment, and while they have our pick, the magic have theirs. it'll be interesting to see what they do next.

Eh, very is a stretch. But he's pushed 57 TS% with AI next to him.

And you're asking like the asking price is insane. We're asking for a b-level prospect in D-Mo, a nightly DNP in Asik, their #4 offensive option in Lin and like the 25th pick. They're giving up pretty much nothing meaningful to them for a superstar.

Also, they offered Lin/Asik for Deron Williams, who's on a toxic deal and is pretty trash now. Asking for their 3rd string PF and a pick in addition is more than fair IMO. Houston loves their stars.

Not sure what Parsons has to do with this, they could run: Beverly | Harden | Parsons | Melo | Dwight. And there is as good a chance as any he re-signs with Houston, he's not going to have anywhere else to go but the Lakers.

Sorry if I rambled a bit, just wanted to get all my words in

[NBA Fan 1234]

i dont think the asking price is that insane (besides the draft pick -- morey never gives up picks). also, although lin may be 4th on the pecking order, he really doesnt have a set place. when harden is on the bench, hes either 1 or 2. with the starters, hes really 3 or 4.

as for them seeing if williams was available -- hes signed into his contract. maybe morey thinks he just needs a change of scenery and non-geriatric teammates.

i brought up parsons because the rockets do not need a small forward -- although, melo can be slotted at pf. they really need a stretch 4 who can spot up, rebound and defend a bit, and play off the ball. melo would require too many isolations, would take up too many possessions, and, i believe, would have a hard time fitting in with harden and howard.

also, keep in mind that morey is all about moneyball / advanced stats...and, like i said before, he would be trading for a player that is about to become a free agent and has said he will opt out.
