Draft is 25 days away
Here's one option that makes sense
Knicks Trade
Carmelo(waives his NTC)
Courtney Lee
8th pick in 2017 draft
Sixers Trade
Jalil Okafor
Dario Saric
Justin Anderson
2 of the higher second round picks 2017
Knicks get salary cap space and 3 young players to build around
Sixers get a veteran post up player that can score and be a leader for a young core group of
Embiid
Simmons
Jackson. Drafted this year
Smith. Monk. Ntilikina One of these drafted with the 8th
Melo gets to stay near home and a chance to help turn Sixers around
I'd trade Melo for the most draft picks possible
I could see Dallas getting involved just because of Cuban but I can't imagine Melo wanting to go there.
Boston will have zero interest in Carmelo unless they strike out both with Hayward and on every other trade front. Even then, I can't imagine them giving up anything more than something like Crowder. If they even gave him up. You're better off just keeping Crowder and his nice contract than going for it next year with Carmelo. He doesn't put you over the top.
For
Okafor, Saric, Stauskas, #3 & #39
For
Okafor, Saric, Stauskas, #3 & #39
Yuck!
And again -- Melo is NOT going to waive his NTC to go Toronto.
I like Carmelo on the Wizards.
Washington has the assets to make a trade.
Draft picks + Bogdanovic, Jennings, Mahinmi
for Anthony.

Bogdonavic and Jennings are FAs.
