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

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.

Speculation that Cleveland can get Melo for less than Love...Basically Knicks over a barrell and have to let Melo go...

I know Knicks fans don't like Love but I think most outsiders would saying he's playing better than Melo this year. He likely has a better chance than Melo of being an all-star too.

Not happy with that at all. The nuggets get to dump Faried, the Cavs get to dump Shump and the Knicks lose Melo.

If I'm Phil to freak out Cleveland I'm calling up golden state to see if we can move melo for dray and iggy it works and it insures a chip for golden state . A core four of curry, Durant,Kaly, melo would be absolutely unstoppable.

Dray is perfect next to KP and iggy off the bench would be fantastic our defense just got way better

Please tell me that you do realize that SAS has absolutely no idea what Melo would or wouldn't do?? SAS just says things that are pretty much common sense and he's been talking about Melo going to other teams for a couple of years now. How many times have you heard SAS say Lebron would come to New York? SAS is a moron who acts like he has inside info that he doesn't really have.

Shump and Faried both have 3 years left on their crappy deals. If that is how the Knick front office wants to make up for Melo's salary I think they are being dumb.

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 .

Ironically Love is holding his man to a lower FG% than Melo is. Melo's played bad defense this year.
Regardless, I wouldn't want to do this trade. I'd rather just have an expiring contract, and if possible, a draft pick.

Is this a rumour?
If true fantastic deal for us if the Nuggets pick is only top 3 protected
Knicks would have two high draft picks this year, Iman is in his prime as is Faried.

Iman's prime was the 52 win season, where he outperformed his abilities and still was fairly limited. Iman is toast. We complain about Lee and he is a better all-around player. I almost hope Iman comes so the fan base can just destroy him.

Phew! Thank God others see this the same way as a player dump for everybody to NY where we get 1 protected pick. lol!

LOL. I don't want to make this deal though. I'm not a fan of Love's even though I think his contract is less bad than Melo's.

Maybe a 3 team deal with Clev, New York and Boston.

Clev--Melo and M.Smart or B.Jennings

Boston--K.Love, K.O'Quinn, L.Thomas

New York--A.Bradley, J.Crowder, 1st round pick from Boston

fitzfarm @ 1/25/2017 4:40 PM
If I'm Phil I'm making it public that I'm working on dealing melo to golden state
fitzfarm @ 1/25/2017 4:43 PM
KP,KOQ
Dray,Willy
Iggy,kuz
Rose,Lee
Jennings,baker
