**Ian Clark remains unsigned.** NYK don't have $$ for him, but at least we landed Ron Baker.
Can be had for NBA MIN:
1. Christian Wood, 6'10" multi-skilled, highly athletic kid who at 21 is finally starting to add some muscle
2. Vince Hunter - 6'8" hybrid forward who plays a physical, rim attacking style; also defends multiple positions well
3. Jordan Mickey, Demetrius Jackson - Celtic castoffs; both highly athletic but lack great shooting
4. Tyler Ennis - safe, steady Mike Bibby type PG
5. Alex Poythress, KJ McDaniels - two high intensity, defensive wings with major athleticism. Neither can shoot.
Sort of the Brian Hoyer of PGs. :)
NYK gets: Kenneth Faried, Jameer Nelson, Juancho Hernangomez
CLE gives: Love
CLE gets: Melo
Den gives: Kenneth Faried, Jameer Nelson, Juancho Hernangomez
Den gets: Love
Lot of IFs here: would CLE want to translate Love to Melo (I wouldn't but I think they would). Can Love and Millsap co-exist (not sure but I like it better than Faried and Millsap)?
At the cost of Juancho/Faried I find it extremely hard to believe they would want to find that out.
consider what they have now: Jokic + Millsap + any other non guard on their roster doesn't seem to work well either

You honestly believe Love makes sense paired with Jokic/Millsap at the cost of Juancho/Faried? Who would guard 3's? They would be destroyed. I'm all for trade ideas but this one doesn't pass the sniff test. Love made sense for Denver before Millsap, not now. They added Try Lyles and added 1st round 4 Tyler Lydon. They have Wilson Chandler on the roster. Love isn't a fit.
b) although I don't think their roster makes sense now either

I do agree with b 100%, they need to move some pieces, Faried being moved makes a lot of sense to me.
Culture wise, he'd be a shot in the arm to what Perry seems to want to head towards in terms of defense/athleticism etc. even if he isn't < 25
Not necessarily sign ALL of them....just a couple of them and invite the rest to training camp. I would love to take a chance on Mickey, Zimmerman and one of Jackson, Burke and Ennis.
