Won't happen if it's a guard.

For Carmelo

Do u hate your team or something? That is an absolute STEAL for the Knicks. Knick fans would be popping bottles all night if they got that trade package for Melo.

The NBA would probably take control of the Magic if their stupid ass did that!

He's currently 6th in frontcourt votes. ironically , he only has 3,000 more votes than KP. Safe to say Melo, unless there is some major spike in votes he wont be there except in street clothes.

The decline has been quite swift, so much for aging gracefully.

People looking for Billy Kingish move that could be Sacramento who are a very stupid franchise, to keep Boogie happy a little while longer by pairing him with his buddy Melo and honestly Lawson Melo Gay Boogie + easy playoff berth is a better basketball situation than tanking Knicks for Melo who could also be happy being paired with his buddy Boogie and being in Cali, close to Hollywood

He's a up and down but I don't think it's a steep decline. He's just is playing the same way -- he feels the team needs it though.

I'd take that and run away laughing at you :p. But seriously I don't think Melo is going to waive his ntc so that the Knicks can trade him wherever they want. Melo is gonna control his destination as he's done in the past, and I doubt the Magic are gonna be on his list sorry.

Melo loves playing NYC. He could have asked for a trade 2 years ago. Mistreating the teams best player is just going to make it difficult to sign quality free agents.

They seem to be doing the right thing with their best player. They aren't playing him right now because of the sore Achilles.

Sacramento is nowhere near Hollywood. Phoenix is closer to Hollywood. I doubt Melo signs off on the Kings.

They can take Rose too.

Melo is getting old. I'm pretty sure he had come to terms with never winning a championship in NYC.

Carmelo has been an all-star 9 times. Carmelo has already been pursuing opportunities for life after basketball.

Phil has sucked at communication which I'm genuinely surprised about.

Melo is not waiving his no trade clause to go to a losing team. Let's be realistic. But at least he is open to the suggestion of getting traded now which is great.

I think we can get something from Boston. Nothing too great but some of their worse draft picks. But I'd take that at this point. We are not going to get anything too great for him. Definitely no nyets pick that is for sure.

Something tells me Melo doesn't like playing with Rose.

Lol it will happen you're right but that's a good thing. If it's debatable who's better than the guy we drafted must be pretty **** good.

I'd trade Melo for a 2nd Rounder. The dude is toxic! I just want him gone!
