Melo intends to opt out

[Cory MBA]

I know... ya'll would suck, get a top 5 pick and have unlimited capspace all in the same summer.

All the while progressing young guys like Hardaway, and whoever you draft @ 16, 19.

Oh, and Mirotic.

You just need to accept a really rough year 1 under Phil/Fish and then let them go to work next summer.

Its not going to happen overnight breh, this would be rebuilding the RIGHT way.

Knicks dont want to take on his salary though I figured.

Mirotic would make more sense for ya'll in a trade.

Convincing argument....I am not familiar with Mirotic yet. I will do some research. I am, however, familiar with Taj. He's a known beast.

 

[I.V.]

I dont see a 16 million expiring, the 16th & 19th picks and the possibly the highest rate Euro prospect as garbage breh

That sounds like a nice package for a team looking to hit a reset button.

@I.V. thoughts?

It would look something like this http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=krb5lfh

If you give me these two picks plus Mirotic. or a future 1st. Yeah man, I'm signing the papers, slapping a stamp on Melo's ass and dropping him in the mail. I'd also be happy to let you keep a pick or two if you included butler.

Melo's likely not going anywhere.

Remember months ago he said he wanted to be courted, sought after, and go thru the whole free agency process (like Dwight and Lebron). He wants his center of attention time

The Knicks can still pay him a ton of money, which I'm sure he's not gonna turn down.

 

[Shogun]

I'm a big Melo fan, but I'm surprised at how many of yall are hoping to bring him to your team. There's a ceiling on how far Melo-ball can take you.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

You're early.


But I don't think :PhilFinger: wants melo.

@ that smiley

 

[labrokejames]

There is no way this nikka turns down the money these cacs are offering him. Athlete logic today is cash > rings.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Can Houston offer a better sign/trade deal than the Bulls?

Lay your best deal on the table without adding salary past next season(which the Knicks don't want)

Parsons, Linsanity, Jones, and a first. That's ticket sale right there. Lin is already a star and has a huge demographic in the trinstate area. Parsons will be a fan favorite instantly anywhere and jones has Lamar odom type potential ....


And we have some premier international talent too.


@tremonthustler1 what's a better international haul: Sergio Llull and Kostas Papanikolaou or mirotic?

Please clarify the bolded
Do you think the Knicks want to hand Parsons a huge contract right now?
Bulls draft picks > Houston's
Mirotic > any international talent you have


I think our package makes more sense for them to be honest.

Lin was already a star in the tri state area. The Knicks will give parsons good contract. Ur package is based off of potential. Our have already proven young prospects...


I must hate think is to have to forced their fans to watch and pay for both boozer and stat.


Rockets have a more positive perceived package. Boozer alone drags down the value of y'all package because he isn't a player the Knicks want on their team. That already have stat and Bargani to reluctantly watch...

 

[23Barrettcity]

He was always going to opt out , he said it before .

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I hope he does go to Miami. It will make it all the better when they lose

Why do you think the Knicks want to hand a big contract to Parsons, a role player(albeit a good one)? I would imagine Phil wants as little cap commitments past next season as possible.

Stop trying to pass off Lin as anything more than an expiring contact. Seriously, please stop that shyt breh

Mirotic has more value than Jones.

Boozer is an expiring contact, nothing more, nothing less.

Can u prove this. Lin is a star and attraction in NYC . U seen this story already . Everytime Houston comes to MsG, there's more Lin jersey than any other player...


Stop acting like parson is demanding a mad contract.

Can I prove what? If they were both put into the draft right now, Mirotic would go higher
I seriously doubt Phil would lean towards Houstons package because Lin could sell some jerseys, so please stop pushing that Lin is a star

Bulls package can include any of the following(but not all): Boozer's massive expiring, Taj, Butler, Mirotic, 16th pick, 19th pick

That trumps paying Parsons, Jones, 25th pick, and Lin's expiring

 

[pimpineasy]

ya'll need draft picks in the WORST way... you're telling me you'd rather have Melo walk for nothing, rather than deal/pay with Boozer for a season and have the 16th & 19th pick??

I could see management and ownership maybe being aganist it since they pay the bills, but as a fan you should be all for it

i been saying this the longest the sad part about knicks fan is we fall for the fools gold too often.................look at what it takes to compete at the highest level man ............OKC with all their stars couldnt even make it to the Finals..............building a championship team takes skill,luck and patience
