That's great news! It would have been better to trade him when he was winning player of the month awards but his trade value is still much, much higher than his production.

Maybe the report earlier was right that they really are turning to a statistically informed approach now.

as in, he's leaving in FA or the knicks want to trade him?
gunsnewing @ 12/4/2013 2:18 PM
FA

This gets better by the day

It's up to the Knicks to trade him but they will never get back what they lost

True but they can get back more than he's worth without much difficulty

No I'm listening. He said he heard Melo is leaving and the they said if that's the case Knicks should trade him at deadline
gunsnewing @ 12/4/2013 2:23 PM
If there's a God then the Knicks are starting over the more analytical approach and actually hold onto their picks
Vmart @ 12/4/2013 2:29 PM
If he has to go then he has to go. I'm not going to blame him for this it is what it is NY and the pressure is to great for any player who has no help. This team is and always will be a disaster. There is no sugar coating it.

They continue to give draft picks away award bad player contracts always trying to put band aide players all over the place. So if Melo wants to leave it's ok with me. I'm not going to call out his flaws all his flaws were enabled by a bad coach any good coach would have made adjustments to hide Melo's flaws.

I hope SAS is 100% correct...
gunsnewing @ 12/4/2013 2:30 PM
Stephen is the biggest Melo defender but even he says they have to trade him
ApophisADL @ 12/4/2013 2:31 PM
Lol. Then Melo will change his mind 24 hours later.

Only way I trade Melo is for Griffin.

Chandler and Memo
For
Jordan and Griffin plus trash

Knicks should assume he is leaving and make the deal. Put yourself in his position would you want to stay with this circus.

I think Malo and Dolan had a talk and melo said that Dolan is fired...

That's a bad trade. I don't know what yall see in Jordan he sucks, I want nothing to do with him. Griffin is also a very flawed star if you can even call him that.

NO THANK YOU

ApophisADL @ 12/4/2013 2:40 PM
I don't want a bunch of worthless draft picks

Griffin is a solid young all star PF.

Do you prefer he walk and we get nothing?

In my mind, Griff and Jordan are assets. Tanking won't work.
This was the year.

Karma says Denver takes Jabari Parker and gets a new Melo.

If our pick turns into a top 5 lottery pick this stands to be as epic a failure as anything Isiah did.

Fixed. Caving and overpaying for Melo has Isiah's consultancy written all over it.

then melo will be a knick forever, because no way do the clippers do that..

the second trade is even more far fetched..

Clippers actually like those dudes.. and I can't blame them..

Griffin is flawed? lets see, he is a PF who actually plays like one. He patrols the paint, rebounds very, very well, can defend his position, passes pretty darn well, can score and do so efficiently...

And people, including his team mates.. Like him..

It would be a horrible trade for the clippers..

Jordan doesn't suck, again he does what the clippers need him to do.. dunk hard, block shots, rebound and intimidate...

sorry, those guys would instantly make the knicks better. while I can't say the same thing about carmelo or chandler in LA..

Knixkik @ 12/4/2013 2:58 PM
Only way I consider trading him now is for griffin. Zero upside in trading him for future assets. LAC do it because Chris Paul and doc rivers would want to.
