Boston shouldn't give up their picks or young players for melo, he doesn't change much for em ...they still gona lost in the playoffs regardless, rather have high draft picks n developing talent than lose with an aging Melo

Their options are reallyyyy limited because of Melo's NTC.How Sway
Because of that, they have to discuss around what LAC is willing to do, and Blake is not on the table so, yeah.

Just getting rid of Melo would be a huge help to the Knicks.. I'll trade Melo for a bag of chips if I was the Knicks.

How is this supposed to be fair to the rest of the league?

It would have to be Austin and / or Jamal + some filler. I don't know how they would not ask for at least some type of youth in return in Austin.
IIRC, the Clips don't have to give away JJ to make it happen.

Also, another reason why the Blake for Melo thing is off the table, is because the Knicks would have to trade away Rose too.

"Gilbert paid $82 million in salaries and $7 million in luxury tax in 2014-15, when the Cavs reached the NBA Finals. Last season, when Cleveland won the championship, Gilbert paid $107 million in salaries and $54 million in luxury tax.
The Cavs (30-14) are currently committed to $127.6 million in salaries and $27 million in luxury taxes for this season. They have spent more than any other NBA team over the three-year span."
Sheeeeeesh!

JJ and Austin fit what Phil is trying to put around Zinger.

Melo just need to bounce. I get all that leaving in NY, your brand **** but why would you stay somewhere where THEY DONT WANT YO ***. Phil won't stop talking and taking shots at you.

But the Clippers don't have to part with JJ, and I can't imagine that they would want to:
If the Clippers send Austin, Jamal, Wesley, and Alan Anderson to the Knicks, they can create an even bigger TPE and force Melo to decline his bonus. From New York’s perspective, this is simply one trade—Anthony goes out (24.5M) and Rivers, Crawford, Johnson, and Anderson come back (30.8M), which is a legal trade. From the Clippers’ perspective, it works as two trades:
Rivers (11M) goes to the Knicks for nothing, creating an 11M TPE, and
Crawford, Johnson, and Anderson (19.8M) go to the Knicks for Anthony (24.5M), which is a legal trade
Since the Clippers would be sending out $19,861,443 in salary in the Anthony trade, the max that they’d be able to bring back would be $24,926,804—that gives Carmelo only about $500,000 of his trade bonus, forcing him to waive the rest for the trade to go through. It actually increases the Clippers’ wiggle room under the hard cap, since they’re sending out more salary than they’re taking back, and it takes LAC out of taxpayer territory by a few million. Then, next season when they likely won’t be restricted by the hard cap, they’ll have that $11 million Rivers TPE to work with—we’ve seen how valuable those big exceptions have been for Cleveland in adding role players for nothing.

Playing with the trade machine, I think it'll have to be Crawford AND Rivers at least.
Trading away Redick would be dumb.

Really never understood how doc was able to sign Austin to begin. Should be a major conflict of interest to have your son on the squad.
I dont remember Karl having his son on the team.
