I feel the Rockets will make a move in the next couple of days


regardless they have to make a move today. I believe the NGT contracts expire today...so today is there ability to get another possible asset or two for the knicks in a potential deal.



Be interesting if they move those and for Smart?

Smart and Harkless and another contract for Melo ? Just trying to get all the players Knicks have been linked too in one deal...

Haberstroh: Houston, how do we feel? Big 3 move with those non-guaranteed contracts?

Lowe: I wrote a lot about them so I don't want to talk about them too much. They're gonna do something with these contracts. I get more & more the sense that the Melo thing is gonna resolve itself soon. Maybe Houston, maybe Cleveland. I have a feeling that's gonna happen. I don't know how soon but if I had to bet right now, he doesn't go into next season on the Knicks.

Haberstroh: I'm with you on that one. Houston is the obvious suitor. I think the Chris Paul-Harden duo, they're both great off-ball shooters. I'm not worried. Will this be potential for Harden & Paul not having dinner after games? Yes. There's a possibility they don't like each other after this year. But they're too good. You make that trade 100 out of 100 times if you're Daryl Morey. By the way, when he's(CP3) off the ball, he's a Steph Curry/Klay Thompson-esque shooter. He's just never off the ball. And Harden will be off the ball a lot. So I love that deal.

Lowe: I don't have much more to say about Houston. Waiting for the Knicks shoe to drop. Love the Tucker signing. Tucker at the 4, Ariza at the 3. A little more size, switch versatility, a good Warriors counter. Everything is about the Warriors. It gives them more leeway not to play Ryan Anderson in crunch time. He can't be on the floor defensively.

If he were a UFA right now he'd be getting paid at the very least 20 something mill per over two or three.


Lets say that Melo could have opted out this year. One hand, he has 28 mill guaranteed for 1 season. On the other, he has this potential suitors with max cap space.

Boston (not after Hayward)
Dallas
Denver
Lakers
Miami
Minnesota
Philly

Besides Heat and maaaaaaaaaaaybe Dallas, nobody else is making an offer. I could see Miami offering a 3/60 contract, cause Riley hates losing/tanking, but thats it. And next year, there's even less teams with cap space. The markets drying up; it's not like last year where everybody was getting 20 mill


You can say that about a lot of teams and players though. It all really hinges on where he plays next year and how that goes.

Knicks will likely get the short end of the stick in any trade. However the key is making sure it doesn't have long term ramifications. That's why I hate the move him at all costs mentality Phil helped develop.

IF wiz dont match otto porters offer, i think melo should waive the clause and we can work out a trade with wizards. he would be a great fit there. or even okc for kanter.

With Hardaway coming back, I don't think there will be any trade for Melo.

I think that would negate any reason actually sign THjr...you signed THjr to be a secondary scorer behind KP. You didn't sign THjr to that contract to be a 3rd scorer and a backup.

Rockets are still looking at trade options, but they are likely waiving Ryan Kelly today, per source. His contract guarantee date is today.

Pretty sure there is no connection. Can't prove it, but, there is no evidence Melo is back in our plans.

Melo is in our plans until a trade is made, which if I had to bet, is not likely at this point.

I'd say the likelihood of a Melo trade is >1%

I'd say it's a little higher than that. Probably around 5 to 10%. Definitely not higher than 15% though.
