He doesn't fit neatly into any team, you have to restructure your whole offense to accommodate him and he's just not good enough for that to be worth it anymore. I just don't see any team taking him on, certainly not for a big package.
Seriously? I'm not so sure.
I continue to think Lebron is obsessed with winning again; and the Clippers have to feel they're moving backwards (GS got better, SAS are as good as always; and Houston got better). I'd have to think Lebron and CP3 are each feeling the windows for their respective opportunities areclosing (in different ways of course).
Likewise, the Celts feel if they can make the finals anything can happen (and have actually played GS decent), though I do not see Melo in green, I could easily imagine a three way deal involving them
If Cleveland or La Clippets had an easy trade to make like Derrick Rose and a first round pick or something, I think they'd do it. But neither one of them has that easy of a trade to make. The trades they can make aren't good for us. I just don't see a fit. Boston isn't happening.
Trading Rose to Minnesota is possible if Phil doesn't try to ask for too much - like getting a first round pick or them taking Noah.

time is short, but I was intrigued by the rumors of Blake to Celts; Melo to Clips; and Some larger portion of the Celts trade assets to knicks and some smaller portion to Clip. Issue now is no way Celts do that without thinking they can resign Blake
I also liked the similar version involving Love, but (a) Love got hurt and (b) Celts and Cavs don't want a trade involving each other at this point (too complicated)
Looks like he's staying - there's no way we could pull off a Rubio trade and a melo trade in less than a day. Plus we would have presented the trade to melo by now (he takes ages to decide if you remember last time he was a free agent). It messes up the rest of the season, I wanted a fresh start. Now we might mess up our draft position
