roy hibbert, brandon bass, lakers #1 for melo?

More than that, he has to pass a team physical in a trade. What another team's doctor opinion might be could be vastly different then the Knicks ones.

not a bad trade for both sides but the lakers post kobe will look to get younger.

His value is low at this point because of the knee...you will need a healthy rest of the season to get value for him if you want to trade him.

definitely the prevailing thought and what they SHOULD do is get younger and continue the rebuild. i just wonder if the lakers can help themselves though.

Phil and Melo could have a talk about that same culture. The Knicks nor Carmelo would get screwed in a trade though. So it's a win if he stays or leaves.

Even if he doesn't come out and say so, I'd still look for trade scenarios to run by him. I could see something with the Clippers to go play with his buddy Paul possibly.

i agree. but why would he want to leave NOW?

did he have a close bond with fisher where he would be mad at this decision?

No one is touching Melo and his knees with a 10ft poll certainly not LAC. They are not giving us Blake. I used to think Washington, Charlotte, Houston, Dallas, PHX, Miami or Orlando but not after this latest string of knee issues

Well that's certainly the one team dumb enough to even consider it

Is that right? I didn't know that...That doesn't count against the cap though, does it? Just s bonus unrelated to the cap I hope.

What makes you think he can win with the Lakers. He's better off playing with KP then Russell

to me nothing has changed...unless, melo really really really wanted fisher here (doubt that)
