Assuming you mean Kuzminskas, it's actually harder than you think.

He, O'Quinn and Vujacic actually don't get it done. You'd need to add Holiday as well ('almost' doesn't count in the NBA CBA).

Not even mentioning Kuzminskas and Vujacic can't be traded until 12/15.

So yes, the Knicks could trade for Rudy Gay on 12/15 if they included O'Quinn, Kuzminskas, Holiday and Vujacic.

How likely does that sound?

Then I doubt we trade Melo for him in a package--we just went all in basically retooling this roster around Melo, no? Can never say never here though I guess--getting Gay back in a Melo trade + some young assets has always been a Melo trade scenario I've thought about...

Melo has a no-trade clause and there's no way in h*** he's going to Sacramento.

Ahh, Right. Forgot about that. Yet another reason this is just noise..Ultra slim chance he'd consider joining Cousins and Rondo if it all fell apart here, but you're right--highly doubtful.
