Knicks · Cavs reject love for melo swap (page 1)

Just read this on my scout app alerts...why in the world would that make any sense. They need a pg and you offer a iso player because he's labrons friend, What would we do with love when we have kp...Phil is a jack ass when it comes to trades..

Was that really offered? I think LeBron would push for it if it could happen.
BRIGGS @ 1/25/2017 4:02 PM
That doesnt do anything for us. We would need Love to be moved to Boston where we get picks and something else. We dont need K Love.

Is that why LeBron blew his stack??

I agree. I wonder if interest was gauged with the Cavs prior to seeing if they could make a three way trade.

I can't even imagine this is based on real information. Probably just another chance to get a few million clicks to drive ad revenue. First of all, LeBron would push for this. Second of all, they wouldn't have to eat the last yr of that love deal in 2020 which would actually be beneficial to them. Melo at the 4 would be an upgrade for them. It's had to come up with any scenario where this was legit. What a horrible trade this would be for the Knicks!

That's funny, I don't think the knicks want love a terrible defensive player who plays the same role as KP ... I think this is Clevelands way of spreading a false rumor to downgrade Melos value... Cleveland wants a steal of a deal melo is ten times the player love is they would be stupid to not take that trade ... the knicks would be stupid to make that trade .
holfresh @ 1/25/2017 4:18 PM
SAS says Melo is willing to go...
fitzfarm @ 1/25/2017 4:20 PM
Again this is a rumor to try and steal melo for peanuts. If I'm Phil I'm laughing at Cleveland saying it's going to take a lot more then love to get melo ... nice try to make it public lol

+1 - This is exactly what this is. Typical nonsense that the Knicks have to deal with. Always an uphill battle.

So Phil is known on the circuits for driving a hard bargain, huh??

Carmelo Anthony and Jameer Nelson joining the Cavs, while the Knicks would add Kenneth Faried, Iman Shumpert, and a 2017 first-round draft pick (from Denver). The Nuggets would round out this three-team transaction by obtaining Kevin Love and a second-round draft choice from New York.
Knixkik @ 1/25/2017 4:25 PM
A 3rd team would definitely needed. Too many parts. I would have to think the Cavs could get Melo and solve their PG depth problem in exchange for Love. Would be worth it on their part.

I don't blame him. He has spent his time in NY carrying mostly fringe guys that are out of the league or barely in the league while management keeps resetting. In addition to that he is criticized at a level similar to ARod.

I also have heard speculation that LaLa is ok with moving on the with the way things have gone recently.

Iman is so bad. I would sooner just have a cap hold. lol
