Melo for #2 and players makes sense, but giving our pick? No effing way. Melo is a "super"-star in this league, whether you like him or not.

makes sense to who? No way in hell that LA would give up the #2 pick and randle for Melo (not even if the knicks include the #4). You kidding me?

Crazy how much he is still over valued by fans.

Crazy how he's undervalued by critics. Lakers would do that deal in heart beat.

no they wouldn't. Not a chance.

This will likely happen because we're the Knicks!

But seriously, if the Lakers covet Mudiay, we should talk about swapping picks 2 and 4. Timmy Hardaway could be a decent Kobe replacement.

But leave the Melo part out of any potential trade, please, there is no way in hell Dolan is trading Melo.

I can see this possibility - and easy enough to do after the draft if Mudiay slips past Philly.

Not sure about Timmy being enough to switch between 4 & 2 - but its at least a start.\

Too bad we don't have any 2nd round picks!
