Celtics have always been my preferred destination for Melo - I just can't believe they'd choose not to top that awful Boogie package, then turn around and trade for Melo. Unless we're just handing him over for next to nothing.

if there really is something going on, i wonder if knicks are sweetening the pot by adding jennings and oquinn maybe a couple of 2nds to get that bkn pick
I'd speculate it would be for Paul George. Otherwise, expect a complementary piece at best.
George is even less likely to be moved than Butler.
Miami is probably in over their head after their massive win streak but I think they could've gotten Whiteside for some combo of Rozier, Smart, euro-stashes and non-nets picks. Would've been cheap and a massive upgrade at a much needed spot for them.
Replacing amir Johnson with a Whiteside/D12 type would move the needle as much as getting Butler/George if those two commanded Crowder/Bradley, Smart, and brown.
Dont be shocked if Rose is moved to the 2. Or Dunn takes on the Patrick Beverely Role. Except rose isnt harden and Dunn cant shoot like Beverely.... yet.
but there was a report that Minny was talking to us about Lee, too. Unless we're blown away, I'd rather keep Lee. He's a solid player on a reasonable long-term deal. I'd love to get Melo and Rose outta here though.
They've been pretty open about moving on from Rubio. It would be a salary dump as much as anything else. Not gonna comepletey condemn his NBA future but Dunn is having a worse rookie season than Emmanuel Mudiay. You give him time but I don't know how long you stick with a guy if he's not giving you and signs of improvement.

i would keep lee and no one is taking noah so they can be the 2 vets on a young rebuilding team
Even though there would be more of an offensive hit
Why? Salary reasons? Bradley is a beast. You can sell me on Bradley being a top 6-7 SG in the NBA. As of now Marcus smart is tony Allen (and I don't think his actual defensive is as stout as his reputation for it is at this point).

Rose, Lee, Noah for rubio, dieng, pek and Shabazz
Dieng and Porz together? I dont see it.
Dieng as an overpriced backup. Similar deal to Noah but there's at least hope he's improved when KP, Willy and Tatum are entering their prime.

mostly for contract. But also because I think Smart wins games for reasons you can't see on paper. Sounds dumb but I really believe it and I believe that I have seen it. Don't get me wrong; Bradley has been one of my favorite players. And, I've always hated Smart because of his shot selection and lack of proficiency in making them. But, since he's been running the ball and creating these past few weeks, he's totally changed my perception of him. He's the most intangibles guy I've ever seen.

TRADE UPDATE: Sources say that Knicks want Rubio, Wolves want Rose AND O'Quinn. Says it's in the "exploratory phase" aka premature stages.
10:31 PM Feb 20, 2017
Ehh, I'd rather deal O'Quinn separately for a pick, unless Minny's throwing one in.
he is probably a better fit for this team then Rose is and in todays NBA his contract isnt horrible. I wish MINN had some young player to throw in that interested me. I could care less about Shabazz, he has been overrated since college. Again i wont be upset about shabazz and Rubio for Rose, maybe they at least throw in a second rounder. And im def not including KOQ.
love to get Minnesota's 2nd. It's a deep draft, and a 2nd could net us a good player. Rubio is also a much better fit for this team as we transition to KP being the primary scorer.
would be a really good fit for KOQ and Jennings. There roster isnt flush with young players they would be willing to move, but they do have all their picks in the next couple drafts. Maybe something like:
Obviously a 1st and Oubre could be considered a pretty high cost from the wizards standpoint, but that nicholson deal is horrible. So they dump that and get what would become by far their two best bench players.
Minny will attach an asset to be rid of Rubio. So one would hope they want an expanded trade, and are not just demanding KOQ as the price of Rubio. If so, Im a solid pass. And I say that as someone who thinks Rubio is an intriguing bet for NY, either as a starting PG or a better version of Jennings off the bench.

i would throw in koq if they threw in pekovic and knicks could get rid of thomas or noah..
something like rose koq noah or thomas for rubio mohammed and pekovic

Why? In the grand scheme of things what is Noah's deal, let alone Thomas's deal, preventing Ny from doing?

If noah is still on this team i guarantee he starts thursday..
it is more about youth movement than their actual contracts

I'd like to see that. Rose has no place here.
