If they don't want to pony up on Love, and Houston doesn't come to the table with anything worthwhile, give me Tristan Thompson, Osman and a pick.
He'd be a great look next to both Porzingis and Hernangomez, would be a Garden favorite and would round out our big rotation moving forward.
I thought the deal sucked as well, but it reduces Salary as Chump isn't paid that much (2 years, same as Melo) Frye is 1 year, get the euro kid and a pick
It's about getting worse next year and some assets.
I don't want the Knicks getting value back for Melo in terms of anyone who helps with wins now. The future? Absolutely. Shump would be an excellent starting SG for the Knicks, as he'd singlehandedly lose about 5 games with his horrid shooting. No Melo = -5 wins, adding Chump = -5 wins.
I'm in.
