Who Benefits the Most in a Blake for Melo Swap?

[Henry Orbit]

Knicks would benefit more. Blake is six years younger and probably fits better along size Porzingis than DeAndre with the way game has evolved now. This move would give the Clippers a very short window, problem with that is all those guys in Oakland are still in their primes

Blake can still hit up comedy clubs after games

The Clippers >

Jordan can cover/save Melo on defense

Melo will not be out when it counts and will bring much needed scoring

Still need a bench


For NY:

Blake ain't a leader to build around

Porzingis isn't Nowitizki and will never be

Can be an 8 seed in the east

If blake can stay healthy, which is a big if. Then its clearly the knicks.

Blake would be a great fit next to KP and possibly PG like frank or fox and some cap space to fill out the roster.

Blake is 7yrs younger and blake has proven when he is the number 1 option on a team, he is successful with godly numbers around 25 and 12.

This move also depends on KP's ability to start at the 5 next season.

But make no mistake, clips get better as well. Melo is way more durable and would fit next to CP with ease. They still won't compete for a chip, but I don't see them losing in the first or 2nd round.

Knicks, healthy Blake is better than Melo. But Clippers are not trading Blake for Melo, if Melo is getting traded to Clippers, it will be for Austin Rivers + other

 

[intruder]

Whoever doesnt get Melo

Assuming Black is Healthy, of course. But who are we kidding here

 

[tremonthustler1]

Neither.

Clippers remain on the treadmill, the Knicks get a disgruntled Griffin who plays the same position as Porzingis and if the Knicks ever got Griffin, they wouldn't rebuild the right way, which is what they should be doing.

Maybe the knicks can flip blake for a 1st rounder this yr. Maybe one of the bottom 6 teams celtics (highly doubt it) lakers, sixers, suns or magic would be interested in a trade for blake.

If you can get a top 5 pick for blake in this yrs draft, that would be a absolute blockbuster win for the knicks.

Lala in divorce court when she flips his move to LA as trying to get back at her and hurt their family on some "he has a no trade clause he gets to pick where he goes and he chose to go to a city where i caught him cheating with XXX amount of women already" shyt

 

[cornercommission2k12]

Blake is a free agent he would have to agree to a sign and trade with ny and the only way blake does so is a supermax is on the table.

 

[William F. Russell]

Blake and Porzingis though

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Anybody saying the Clippers needs to slap themselves.

 

[Gangstar8]

Knicks to getting a star in place of a bum

 

[KingJudah2]

Blake sucks the Clippers would be better

Can be an 8 seed in the east

You say that like it's hard to be a top 5 team in the East, NBA purposefully proposes trades that only send superstars to the west leaving LeBron unopposed. The knicks with any other acquisition could easily be a 5th seed.

 

[MJ Truth]

Should have gone for it at all star, kept Blake cp and Jordan and let everything else fly for Melo

Rose and Blake weren't allowed to be on the same team.
