Can you read mothafukka, you posted three times in this thread a liked a post that said trade Melo. You don't just trade Melo. He's like Nique, he is extremely entertaining and fun to watch. What you try to do is add talent and trade whatever to have for additions to the team.
NY needs: playmaking PG
Scoring PF with defensive abilities
Healthy Shump
Strengths: Melo scoring
Chandler D
Shooting ability
Look at the draft and look at Kabongo. I would trade up to get him if I was NY.
I would look at a PF as well. See what Minny is looking for with Derrick Williams. I think he has very good PnR PF potential and whoever gets him will eat if they have a PnR PG which NY doesn't right now as Kidd fell off.
Healthy Shump of course
With those moves, NY gets much closer. They aren't that bad, they just aren't that good. They aren't the new Hawks, Brooklyn is but they are still a treadmill team but more so like Nique's Hawks where they are near elite regular season team.
