Where? They have even less than Houston.

We'd need to project when they're going to start being bad and get 4 or 5 of their picks starting with that year.

4 or 5 picks? We're not trading Kareem Abdul Jabbar, bruh....it's Melo.

Ferguson, 1st rounder and 2nd rounder plus Kanter is What we should be aiming for.

Get that CHI 2nd round pick

is it a 2018 2nd? That could be a very early second next year if it is!

Yes sir! From the Gibson fleecing

not really.. he obviously has connections in the biz.. he doesnt claim to have scoop often, so if he does and spills it then I would think it would have merit

Ferguson wont start.

Also Adams to do the dirty work. Melo really needs to consider them as an option.

A "scoop" is when something that is reported is breaking a story, he's got a rumor at best, still poop, he's been out of the loop for awhile, that's why he doesn't report scoops anymore, just poops. :lol:

Yep
If we can possibly get ferguson from them, that's better than what Houston and Cleveland can offer us

Win win for both sides

this one is pretty specific he isn't siting a source. He supposidly knows the guy that worked at Syracuse so if they indeed are trying to recruit him and its starting to work that is another team in the mix. Only good for value.

I can make the case Russ/Roberson/PG13/Melo/Adams is a better 5 than CP3/Harden/Ariza/Melo/Capela

Agreed.
Ferguson, bulls 2018 2nd and Kanter is fair for all sides. Ideally we would like a 1st rd pick but Ferguson compensates for that IMO.

dude also might be the worst defensive big in the league and would be out 5th center on the roster. i can't see him fitting into fast-pace style jeff should be given the freedom to run now either. you can't let him finish games because he's such a defensive liability. he's essentially an overpaid 6th man.

So? He's a bench player. I'm not worried about team building as much as accumulating assets. You get Ferguson and Abrines out of this it doesn't matter if Kanter is playing 20 mins off the bench

who and who?

the fact that you don't know two young promising basketball players really questions your basketball knowledge.

I have to think friendship plays a part in this. Melo has waned to play with CP3, Wade, or LeBron

Russy and PG13 are a half a generation after Melo's class

Even though we already have Willy and we aren't contending anytime soon, HELL NO to Kanter. Kid is the only player I've ever seen who makes Amare look like a decent defender.

stuporman · Post #1978 » by **stuporman** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 5:00 pm

Maybe the Knicks know something about Noah that has them looking to fill out the big man rotation, they've been pretty open to adding bigs to the roster it makes me wonder if Noah is not going to be around much longer not that he was going to play a big part anyhow.

because i don't know a 2013 2nd round pick and the 21st pick of this past draft my basketball knowledge should be questioned? dude GTFO seriously..
