Some players on the rockets being traded to the knicks or elsewhere to clear space
Great idea. :mjlol:

You realize it'd have to be close to $20 million in salaries. The only guys who would fit the bill are Harden, Howard, Lin and Asik.

Knicks will trade with Syria before they trade with the Houston.

Chicago is such a toss up don't see the advantage of him going there but I would love to fleece them for their picks and the Serb.

Might make the most sense for both parties.

Phil should just accept a Bulls package of Boozer's expiring, 2 1st's and Mirotic.

It gives Melo his full contract extension he wants, allows the Bulls to keep Taj with a core of Rose, Noah & Melo, and gives the Knicks the top rated Euro prospect, 2 1st's in a solid draft and a huge expiring.

not even the knicks gave up that much for the initial sign and trade to bring melo over from the nuggets when he was 3 years younger.

:snoop: this young sheep still doesn't get it.Thibs will not play mirotic if he can't defend.I saw some of that game on nbatv the other day this slew footed mf is gonna have to learn how to defend he has the same lateral quickness as boozer.Andrea Mirotic :camby:

front office would have to step in if thibs refused to play mirotic. hell, even in rose's rookie year, dumb ass del negro had hinrich starting initially I believe at the beginning of the season.

Bulls would have to get rid of both boozer and gibson plus a lil more(Unless melo takes a cut) to make room for a sign and trade for melo. Gotta be under the cap to receive him in such a deal.

I normally take nothin SAS says seriously, but he did call the Big 3 in Miami while Broussard is sittin their live on ESPN goin "He's heading to NY ". I still remember SAS callin in and breakin the news like :win:, all while Broussard was sittin there and went from :jawalrus: to :wtf: to :mindblown: to :sadcam: in like 60 seconds. Then they cut back to ask his opinion and he was like "Well I haven't heard anything like that from my sources, but it could be possible". SAS killed em.



So I'm not gonna totally dismiss this, but you know if he re-signs SAS already has the excuse ready. "At the time I was correct, however he changed his mind which ain't my fault :yeshrug:"

I still think Melo stays, but at this point who the fukk knows whats gonna happen this Summer. Phil might just say fukk it and try to dump the whole roster.
