So the Knicks are supposed to grant Melo his wish to team up with LBJ in a deal for for an assortment of trash that ties up cap space but gets them no real assets at all? No thanks... let him opt out.

If we don't trade Melo, how are we supposed to get shots for THJr? He'll be $70M wasted sitting on the bench.

What ever happens...
No buyout
Do not trade Melo for a contract worse than his.

Send Melo to the D league if he doesn't like it. We are not sending free cake to Cleveland so Lebron and his posse can add to his legacy. Melo should not be rewarded for holding the franchise hostage.

Unfortunately Melo is not Marbury and is well supported around the league, including by the Knicks own Kristaps Porzingis. Treating him poorly for 2 seasons will lead to a toxic atmosphere and potentially hurt the Knicks standing with other players(Porzingis).

It would be much better to resolve this within half a season than carry it out over the course of 2 years.
Shumpert's contract won't hinder the Knicks.

Cavs get- Carmelo Anthony
Knicks get- Iman Shumpert (2 years, 10.3 mil per), Channing Frye (1 year, 7.4 mil), Richard Jefferson (2 years, 2.5 mil), Kay Felder (2 years, 1.3 mil)

The return the Knicks are getting is so bad they could probably easily sneak a 2020 Cleveland first round pick in there.

This trade would EASILY be the Knicks best option, and it's also the best option for the Cavs because they keep Love and add Carmelo.
yup... have been posting this for weeks... its a simple trade... win for both sides...

We can also buy out RJ (pennies), waive Frye...

Not sure, but another instance where ISO'ing too long in one spot instead of a quick shot and movement has failed Melo.

At least Rose knew how to play as a team

Well I assume that's why the Knicks said there's no possible way that Melo and THJr will both be on this team starting next season. Melo pretty much has to go in order to open up the scoring role they envision for THJr, as they're planning to keep Lee.

Shumpert has expressed to the Cleveland front office that he doesn't want to traded to NY.

There goes your trade idea :oops:

Well he's Shumpert and has no real say in the matter.
If he doesn't like it his agent can find a team that does want him for a similar contract or he can opt out after next season.

Hear you. In Hornacek's offense THJ should be close to a 20pt scorer and add that to KP's projected 20-22ppg, there'll be no room for a high volume shooters. Let's hope right? :)

If Cavs want Melo, they will have to give up Love. It's that simple.

Does Shump have a NTC? Since when does bench players tell management where they do not want to go?

If the Knicks are going try to get the most value out of Melo, they would wait until the deadline.

not ideal, but something like this would be necessary until he's gone.
