Solution 3 way deal
Trade Melo to Miami ( big city place )
Whiteside goes to Detroit ( Miami gets rid of his long contract and only have 1 year of Melo )
Trade Blake to Okc...Hometown and already on a long term contract
Throw on a 1st or 2nd or both to Pistons also from either Heat or Okc to sweeten the deal.
We're not trading what picks we have available to facilitate a Melo trade. Also Drummond/Whiteside play the same position so there is literally no reason for Detroit to make that deal. Get back to the drawing boardTerrible tradeIf y’all would take K Love and Clarkson and give us a future first we will take him off y’all hands
Best thing the Knicks did was trade this fool. No longer on the hook for that 28 million dollar player option![]()

I'm confused at what allows Melo to dictate whether he's a starter or not.
If the coach doesn't start him what can he do? Just go on the floor anyway?
That would be hilarious.

So WHEN he opts in. Do they have an option of buying him out or is it too much money?

I know a place...What options do they have? Might just have to sit him on the bench
Nobody trading for Melo
A buyout would be expensive as hell
Waive is unlikely
He has to agree to the buyout...So WHEN he opts in. Do they have an option of buying him out or is it too much money?
