Is melo or any other principal on vacation. Maybe they're waiting for their availability for a press conference or even written waiver of ntc

Maybe I'm just out of the loop - but who is Steven Tsakanikas? Are we trusting this guy as a legit source???

He's Greek so he has to be legit lol

"im hearing"..........This is a kid. Im sure a good kid, good fan, devot and well intended, but he "hears" rumors via media.

He has a website. It says he writes for Knicks Daily and was supposed to graduate from college this past May.


Yes, he is a kid, a college kid. Im sure he is working hard to build something. I have a website.
Im not knocking him, but we all know the talk of a three way with Portland. Im hearing talk too. Talk from us, talk from some college kid with a website. Lets just not take this as more than it is.

Yep so we have the tweet (since deleted) of the Rockets writer who overheard Woj saying the trade might happen last night, and Nene posting a pic of Melo in a Rockets uniform saying how he was looking forward to playing with him (also since deleted). Hopefully today is the day!

I believe that there are two iterations of this trade. One solely with the Rockets which is already agreed upon in principle and a second one with a third team such as the TrailBlazers who are bashful partners. If we can't get the third team to take Anderson then we'll take him ourselves, along with a pick and maybe another player or two (Qi or Hartenstein). We're much better off with the three team option because then we can at least get Harkless out of the deal.

Would be a mistake to move the guy for pennies on the dollar right now.

Pick up Rondo, let him feed all the guys, win some games in the weak eastern conference and then move him at the trade deadline. His value is going to increase, especially with the player option next season. No reason not to op out if he has a big year and sign a 60MM extension elsewhere.

NYKBocker @ 7/11/2017 11:24 AM
If the trade is for Ryan Anderson and scraps then I don't want the deal. I want at least 1 young asset a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick.

I'm not a Melo fan but I do think that he's going to have a very good year whether he plays for us or for another team. He can walk after the season and he'll want to play well to poke Phil. Keeping him for now might get us into the playoffs if we can sign Rondo somehow.

I been looking at Denver.... they have several players they don't want. They been trying to trade Faried forever. Wilson Chandler asked for a trade last year. Will Barton said he was out next year in fee agency. They are low on Mudiay as well.... would they do a trade sending Wilson and Faried maybe even Barton for Anderson and some Knicks players?
Bonn1997 @ 7/11/2017 11:52 AM
If we're taking Anderson, we better be getting a lot of draft picks.
EnySpree @ 7/11/2017 11:56 AM
Trade i came up with Denver instead of Portland...

Houston Gets Melo

Denver gets Anderson, Lance and Randle

Knicks get Faried, Wilson, Will Barton and 5 non guaranteed contracts from Houston

Works via realgm

Then we sign Rondo and push back into the playoffs

That's a great find. They might not like Ryan Anderson but I believe they might like Kevin Love. This deal would work..

NY Gets : The Mayor, Faried, Cavs future 1st round pick, Nuggets 2nd round pick
Cavs Gets : Melo
Denver Gets : Love

That is still a Melo for Love trade and not enough for CLE. They will need a high pick or young talent or both...

How about...
NY Gets : The Mayor, Faried, Cavs future 1st round pick, Nuggets 2nd round pick
Cavs Gets : Melo
Denver Gets : Tristan Thompson, Shumpert

Again....look at CLE perspective...that is not enough for Love...mind you their leverage is not what it once was because Boston would not move heaven and earth to get him...You swap out Melo for Love and nothing else?? They are not going to take a Salary dump after giving up a fisrst over draft choice for him...

Houston doesn't have them to give.
