yes and no. You want to maximize his asset. But he is still our best player which means we should lose a lot more games. So trading him will help our own pick.

Crawford and **** Reddick are being thrown at us in the general. Pos think we are stupid. Some other idiot said he would throw in Pierce.

Why the Clippers? We should be focusing soley the Celtics and Cavs, no good picks from Clips until 2021. Screw that ****.

MF got us stuck with Noah and Rose, now he wants the rebuild ?

At least trading Melo will allow the Knicks to go full tank mode.

How are we stuck with Rose?

If that rumor about the clippers is true then that's the last resort. Dude might be out of here way sooner than expected.

We are losing pretty well with him. This team is one Injury away from helping our own pick. To toss him away for nothing is dumb.

Cavs don't want him, if you haven't heard.

No way we do any trade that doesnt involve a pick. If a pick is not involved a solid piece better be coming back.

What team is out there ready to take on over 40 mil in salary?


maybe some sort of 3-ways ? Or atleast trade away Noah/Thomas and bring back players with shorter contracts.

Not sure if I would, but just a thought.


Yes. I would roll the dice on a pick swap in this draft.



You're trading a hall of famer and 20+ppg scorer away for a pick swap? Lol. Might still end up without Melo and the worse pick, wtf. If anything you do that on draft night.


He’s almost 33 and on the decline. I think the reality is that we are not going to get a ton for Melo.

If the standings hold up, this swap would guarantee’d a top 4 pick in a top heavy draft with a great chance at a top 3 pick rather then pick 11. There is a risk, but we would be increasing our odds tremendously at drafting a great player and it could be a huge difference between pick 11 and top 3 pick.

Draft night may not work. If Boston ends up with the top pick, they may not even consider trading it. They may not even consider that now tbh.

This draft is looking great with prospects at the top that could fit perfect so that is a big reason I'd do it.

I'm really not that interested in LAC picks in the 2020's. KP will be on his 2nd contract and will be close to his prime. At that point, I'm trying to win games, not develop rookies. I guess those picks could be valuable as trade chips if the Clippers end up being that bad.
