We should have just taken the L graciously in regulation

No one is trading for him

Nah, the Hornets most def would and a few other teams would probably surprise. The Raps were able to move Rudy Gay, there's always a trade partner out there if a dude isn't injured.

Yall gotta trade Melo, his contract is entirely too big for you to build around him. I could see if dude were 25, but he's only going to decline moving forward.

nah we good.

Let me think some more

Your right in that our cap space isn't as big as we think it is if we don't start trading some other pieces soon

Triangle ain't even costing us games brehs. It feels like we do away with the triangle in crunch time for the most part. You can tell by where Melo is catching the ball for most of those plays

A trade involving MKG and Lance Stephenson like rumored wouldn't be too bad really, but I'm not holding my breath, I expect Melo to be a Knick for a while more at least. Nothing against Melo though, he's still one of my favorite players, but we're so far off of building a contender that it seems like a waste for all parties involved if he stays.

First that trade doesn't work under the cap. But even if it did. MKG can't shoot for shyt and Lance is the equivalent of JR Smith status off the court. I cant imagine the fukkery those two would get into as teammates. Also it's not like the knicks don't got Cap Space galore coming regardless so trading Melo for it is pointless.

I wouldn't be mad at the knicks trading for Lance but the package should be based around JR and a choice of Shump or Hardaway and maybe Jason Smith.

Stephenson, Biyombo and MKG + whatever picks included, and like I said you can bet some other teams would try and get in on it as well.


If you traded Melo, why would you keep JR Smith who said anything about trading Melo for cap room? You trade him because he's not the type of player you build around, lets say you draft Mudiay, Towns or Okafor this summer, do you really think he's going to take a backseat to them in the next couple years? That nikka didn't even take a backseat to Amare when he was balling.

Please tell me how having caproom worked out for the Knicks the last time they had it, why would any of the big free agents want to play for the Knicks, especially when most of them are on winning teams with much better outlooks.

Neither can Shumpert. Doesn't stop y'all from loving him

Your adding stuff to try to justify the trade scenario but the basic scenario is shyt. So I repeat

Also what you said in the end about cap space is what I was saying as well. Trading Melo to a team that maybe could absorb his contract would be pointless since the knicks already have a bunch coming anyway.

If the knicks are going to take in a headcase like Lance they should definitely send out a headcase like JR for him. Arguably them both being headcases is why the trade would be fair..... nobody else would want them unless they were attached to a pick like how the pacers tried to play the Hornets for Lance.

Yeah because in a Melo/shumpert trade Shumpert would be the main piece I would look at for comparison reasons of the players coming back to NY.

 

[Illuminatos]

Melo has a No Trade Clause, and he's not waving it to go to crappy ass Charlotte.

 

[Danie84]

Wake up to this Fukkery about Melo going to the Hornets for Stephenson

...riddle me this, why can't we package everybody else not named Melo
