Riley is one of the best execs in the game to attempt to win the chip with.
Dragic, Whiteside are both perfect pieces next to Melo. Waiters, Johnson, Richardson aren't bad either.
Knicks would obtain close to 45 mil in cap space.
Would also obtain 25+mil trade exception creating around 65+mil to work with cap wise.
Adding 14 pick in this draft would be great.
This is my wish trade and I have been posting it for months. Its a good trade. Miami gets something in return for Bosh vs. nothing. Miami had the best record in the second half of the season. That says a lot. This is a good two year window for Miami and they will contend. Perhaps not true champion but would be top 4 in the east. They lose nothing from last years team. I'd say we have to send them a second round pick. Dragic, Melo and Whiteside is a very good core.
A 14 and 8 combined could get us to move up in the draft to grab a player that gaines might covet as being worthy.
What some of you might be missing is Melo brings star power to the ticket counter and Riley DOES care about money. He is a part owner and looks out for Mickey Aronson.
I'd do this trade straight up for Winslow and bosh's contract. Anything on top of that is gravy.
O'quinn can be moved for a low first round pick and that can be used so miami has something in the first round. Many facets to this CONCEPT (not a predication)to ponder. Its low probability.
KNicks1248, just cuz its not written don't mean someone can't put together a conceptual trade. Your good at being the guy that says no to everything as if your mr. insider. Fans just like to play around with stuff and have fun. Miami could be ok for Melo's brand. It puts him in a position to be in playoffs and maybe make a run to conf. finals. At the same time, if he goes to Clev and somehow they faulter, he will look bad. Real bad. Imagine if Durant for what ever reason failed to get GSW to finals?
La La Cosmetics people are all down in Miami, they wear a lot of hats in Miami. His Latin America vibe would work in Miami, and the taxes are great. Riley could sell him a good concept.
We have no idea if Riley even entertains this. The first thing is Bosh is on the books and they get nothing in return. So this makes Melo attractive in some sense.
Could Riley get cp3 in in trade using Dragic as core?
These trades are so far fetch, it's as if you guys forget there's a NTC, and a 30+ million trade kicker. I read on ESPN the options (if melo waives his trade kicker) and it was so silly. It's like oh yeah, melo will short his self $$, on top of being forced out of NY by PHIL JACKSON, to go play for a non contender.
The guy keeps saying I want to win, and some you think he wants a change of scenery. I don't want to look fwd to 55 losses next season, so any trade needs to make us better now and in the future, and I just don't see a trade yet that will make phil and melo happy, at least not this off season.
