Knicks · anyone see the Frankie Ice (Isola) article? [CLE, BOS, Melo rumor] (page 1)

possible Melo to Cavs trade. when asked about it Melo said "Id have to talk it over with my family"

Let the RUMORS BEGIN!!

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basket...

Yeah. I posted some of it in another thread. If I knew someone at MSG I would be texting him right now to confirm for my buddies at U K.

Isola is FOS

Man I hate Isola's articles but this is certainly interesting.

It's almost plausible.

Why is Melo even talking the way he is? He is killing any leverage any would have.

Boy every time I start thinking maybe he can be a winner he ruins it.

Leverage? We have him under contract for this season and then three more after it. Not to mention he has a no trade and would need to be consulted on any deal.

I wonder if one of the picks is this year's Brooklyn pick? It'd be nice to get this year's Brooklyn pick.

Would have to at least start with that. Moz, Brooklyn's pick, DLee... What else?

What does Boston get out of this besides Love? Or is that enough for them?

Love is that big free agent they weren't able to get... he'd be their star. Boston would be able to hide his lack of defense and get him the ball in his spots again.

It's interesting. My impression is that Boston has tons of picks - though I don't know which picks those are.

If Boston got Love and Cleveland got Melo, it could very well be CLE vs BOS in the eastern conference finals...

Isola wasn't he the guy that said Melo is staying in 2014 like a week before he actually did?

I would jump on that deal. Melo might agree to play with lebron and kyrie. He would never have a better chance to win and he loves Lebron. Curious what the knicks would get. David Lee could be a great fit in the triangle and to keep them competitive and maybe they can even resign Lee at a cheap price. You have to figure that the knicks would be getting BK's pick and have a shot at Simmons or at least a top 5 pick to pair with KP!! If the knicks could also dump some salary as well and an extra 2nd rd pickand i would call it a day. They can sign Batum in the offseason and keep building until 2017 when they add Westbrook!!

He gets enough right that you have to pay attention.

and Boston would still have a ton of picks to improve. Now thats a rebuild. Make it to the Eastern Conference and instead of drafting late in the draft and flaming out like most teams. You reload and come back stronger year after year with maximum flexibilty and assets

I agree. Love would fit perfect with that Celtics team depending on who they put in the trade besides draft picks. I like Love better on Boston than i do the Cavs.

If we wind up getting the Brooklyn pick, then I'm all for it.

Wow, i knew they had a lot but never saw exactly how many and they have multiple picks for the next 3 years....crazy.

The Knicks would have something like 40 million in capspace this summer if they took on Lee and Mosgov to go with the Nets draft pick.
Would possibly be able to go after DeRozan AND Conley. Not saying either would come, but it's interesting situation.

You also do Melo right because you send him to the best team in the East and 3rd best team in the league that will be in the Finals virtually the next 2 years. Giving him a real shot at winning a ring.

I like this move, and it makes a ton of sense in regards to how Phil Jackson was talking about Melo that day. Almost weird how Phil kept bringing up the way the team played without Melo and that it was "his no trade clause" that kept him off the table.
