Per Michael smiths twitter jamesmichaelworm : 9:17 pm Story filed to ESPN: Carmelo Anthony has expanded the list of teams with which he'd accept a trade -- including the Cleveland Cavaliers. If this is the case and they missed out on the kyrie sweepstakes, very disappointing |

My twitter beat guy concurs with this adamg : 9:18 pm : link : reply Says Knicks tried to facilitate HOU deal but they just weren't able to offer any reasonable assets. Sounds like no HOU deal is reachable. |

Doesn't mean Cleveland would trade a young star like Kyrie for Carmelo.
This is good news, if true.
according to the article woj posted, it is 2 teams cavs are the 1 team that is known
Fuck Houston

They obviously blew their load on cp3, they’ve had a ton of time to get the assests needed to facilitate a trade. Not getting a 20 plus pt scorer for nothing. And that should go for any team.

arnie.... you should suck a big D
Yea why would any knicks fan not want a top 5 player at his position in his prime. Let me guess kyrie is a bum all of a sudden.
The only thing we can hope is that LeBron wants one of his best friends and a veteran player so bad that the Cavs are willing to give us the Nets pick. Highly unlikely, but that would be phenomenal.
I already have extremely low expectations for a Melo trade. We just basically need him gone. Otherwise we will be a bad team, but not bad enough where we have a legit shot at the #1 overall pick. If we keep Melo most likely we are going to end up with a pick right around 7.

Cleveland also traded to its only rival in the east.
Knicks have been informed that Oklahoma City is one of the other teams Carmelo Anthony has included on his list, team sources told ESPN
Okc gets - Melo, lance thomas and oquinn
Knicks get - kanter, grant, McDermott, abrines, ferguson and future first.
If they don't want kanter send him to Milwaukee for Monroe, Bucks would love to rid themselves of Monroe.
Okc competes with golden state with that starting team, will have to figure out some SG, PG depth to fill out roster.
PG - Westbrook/Felton
SG - George
SF - Roberson/Lance Thomas/Patterson/Singler
PF- Melo/patterson/Oquinn
C - Adams/Oquinn
Small in the radar note about this deal is abrines for Thomas is great for Knicks because one last year on contract. Knicks then need to get rid of Lee
Successful Trade - ( New Window )
+1. Kanter was unplayable in the playoffs because he cant defend vs movement. Which is kind of important.
If Knicks can find a taker for lee they will be in full tank mode with only Noah and kanters bad contracts. However kanter probably opts out next year. Knicks could get the top 5 pick this year and be loaded with young talent going into 2019 season, they have to find away to unload Noah contract before 2020 free agency so they have max cap space available to sign free agents and then be able to go over the cap to sign porzingis and willy.
Obviously Portland can offer better talent and picks but it will require us taking on a bad contract of at least 3 years. I guess harkless is ok but to get Collins, swanigan or multiple picks Knicks will pronanly have to take on Turner or Myers contract, plus convince Melo to go to a place that is the furthest possible place to fly from NYC in the NBA

Couldn’t they then do the same with Houston a take one of their dumps? You get value for Melo or let him sit. Aka picks or some haul
OKC. Adams and Ferguson
Portland. Harkless. Davis. Vonleh. Collins
Cavs. Brooklyns Pick and any other crap that works for the cap
Maybe if the nets are a top 4 seed at the break..... errrr
how can you say there is no hope?
Knicks are finally building the right way, they have a young star, they willy and thjr who are good young pieces, frank who could develop into a nice piece and all of their first round picks...
how is there no hope?
I don't know about Frank, we will see.
Well, he was a rookie. Not that I'm on anyone's bandwagon.
Glad melo opened the list, this should allow us to get a deal done that at least has some value to us. Plus it now causes teams to at least have to think they are bidding against another team.
I don't know about Frank, we will see.
you didnt watch hardaway in atlanta did you? 18 4 and 4 in 36 games he started last year...
he was 20 years old
As the Who said - "Meet the new Knicks, same as the old Knicks"
And there ones who should want this to happen the most.
And there ones who should want this to happen the most.
so they shpuld take a shit deal? they did the right thing, no reason to take a shit deal
And there ones who should want this to happen the most.
Pulling out of trade talks was the first smart thing the Knicks have done in years. Why should the Knicks want this to happen the most?
Carrying a grumpy Melo until the trade deadline or the end of the season is a better option than trading him for more shitty contracts.
Give me a few examples of this
Plus,Melo is not the type to sit quietly.I hope your not expecting an Eddy Curry type situation.

so in your opinion the knicks are stupid for not taking andersons contract and trading melo for nothing just to get it over with?
