Melo being shopped. Cavs, Celtics and Clippers contacted so far.

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I think it all stems from his rookie year. He and Lebron were supposed to be the next Magic and Bird. But Lebron is just better than him so people are mad at him for not holding up his end of the bargain.

Cats are mad at Melo for not being a playmaker like LeBron, when that has NEVER been his game.

Okay, but now you're flipping Reddikk to a non contender. If you can flip Reddikk to a non playoff team and possibly get a pick from 10-15, I'm okay with that.

The Magic want to make the playoffs, that's the thing, whoever trades for Reddikk will be close to the playoff chase and therefore the pick wont be that great unless you get extremely lucky.

 

[Malta]

Melo isn't going to get traded. This is manufactured buzz from the media during a slow sports week. His contract and NTC makes him immovable. I'd be completely shocked if he gets dealt.

It's entirely up to him, you know Doc is ready to make a deal for him.

 

[Malik1time]

I keep hearing Melo trade rumors for the past three years and nothing comes of it. Y'all think this really gonna go down?

You right I was talking about these early 2day with a friend of mine
Nothing will happen probably but this is the most aggressive I've seen in years thou

How the mighty have fallen.

I don't see the Magic making it with Reddikk, so if this make believe scenario was to happen, we could get extremely lucky that pick could turn top 10 and with our pick most likely being in the top 10. Sign me up for this scenario. Two top 10 picks, rose and melo off the books, Noah would be next on the trading block for envelopes and bubble gum

What the fukk
No knicks fan can justify that

Bruh, you're not getting a lottery pick for Melo, first and foremost he wont waive his NTC to go to any of the teams that have those kind of picks. Secondly, the only team with high picks like that in the playoffs would be the Celtics and they damn sure ain't giving up a Nets pick for him.

If you can flip Reddikk to a team like the Magic for one of their prospects (Hezonja) + a pick, then do it even if it's not a lottery pick. Melo is about to be 33 years old, you're not getting prime packages for him.

Reddikk is 32 turning 33 in July and will expire after this season. So the Magic will trade their 5th overall pick from last year on top of another pick for a guy that's worse and older than their starting 2 guard. Really breh? How does that even make sense for the Magic?

Redikk with that contract is very attractive to teams needing a boost. He is actually the best part of that deal because of the money.

Crawford is a solid off the bench, but he makes way too much money and about to turn 37. The Knicks will eat that, but it looks like the clippers deal is the best one to be had right now.

 

[OneManGang]

Okay, so when Noah or Melo was dealing with injuries, people were quick to sh*t on them. KP has gotten too many passes for not playing up to par, imo.

I actually agree with this. People are still in the honeymoon phase. I like the kid, he has so much potential, but I see where you coming from. At Atlanta, missing 2/3 freethrows at the end of OT to take it into 2OT was inexcusable for a guy who can shoot the way he does.

They are willing to trade Ibaka, someone they gave up Victor Oladipo and a draft pick for, they also offered Vuccimane and a first rounder for Goran Dragic. Their team is DESPERATE to make the playoffs, their GM has made awful moves left and right and is in panic mode to save his job. The Magic are supposedly looking to trade for shooting, Reddikk who is hitting 44% from three sort of fits that bill, right?

The same 5th pick that doesn't play, ever?

Melo is not even capable of leading a team to the playoffs in the east.

It is better to see what you ultimately have with Porzingis than to waste the final productive years of Melo's career. How are you guys not getting this?

 

[young3000]

u wouldnt do it?

No way I'm giving up Zeller and MKG, high energy guys for Melo who is past his prime and can't defend nor rebound like those guys

Getting his contract off the books is a win. You're not getting anything of value in return. It's just a matter of if the Clippers actually think Melo can help them beat the Spurs or Warriors.

Lebron is the best in the league for a long while now. Big difference.

Iverson led Mckie and Eric snow to the finals. Melo been in the league over 12 years. Even before the superteam thing took off.
