First we needed to wait until draft night, then once PG13 and Butler situations were resolved, then we were waiting to see what happened with Hayward before we could move Melo. I hope that the shoe finally drops but I don't see why we had to wait on Tim Hardaway to make a Carmelo Anthony trade.

I think renouncing rose and Sasha's rights were important in conjunction with this move.

How many roster spots do we have open now?

Assuming any Melo deal we are taking back 1 or 2 additional players.

Renouncing Rose in and of itself was a beautiful thing.

We are already winning this trade. :lol:

Rumor or not, we better not be taking back Ryan Anderson if he goes to Houston

Why?

There has to be a 3rd team involved.

If not..what is coming back?....Eric Gordon & ??

Cause I want to see Melo, Harden and CP3 take on GS. And the Knicks are screwed regardless so why not if Hous attaches a 1st?

Yep, this hurts. The Phoenix deal increased Melo's value as Love would have gotten us assets.
Melo to Houston... What can we possibly get outside of that bloated contract coming back. (Unless 3 team)

If the Lee and THJ tandem is to be believed, Anderson has no place here. My guess (and hope) is purely cap relief and maybe a protected first. Melo's number is huge and once he's off, we could be right back into the land of cap space.

nope I want a 3 team. Give me Harkless and a 2020 pick...I will take back Myers Leonard to make the deal work at this point.

Because their pick will be garbage

Definitely Lee. Hopefully it's a) true, and b) a cap relieving deal.

If Kidd's son is right he earned his respect. Begs even gave him credit.
