Naw, Phil won't take JR and Shump back. They'd probably refuse to suit up while he's here even if that happened.
The situation has been intentionally poisoned. He has to go. It's already out there he's being actively shopped AND teams have rejected offers for him. Add continued losing to that and it's all bad. It's one thing if this was all kept in house and out of the media, but they let it out intentionally, they both have to go imo.We don't have to trade Melo. It's probably best for both sides to move on but we don't have to. It's not like he hs a bad contract or is hurting the team.
Phil should be the one on the way out.
Not that he has low value. He's just more valuable to the Knicks than anyone else, but it's a growing bad situation. Teams want him, but they don't want to give up their big pieces for him. Clippers gotta part with Reddick for it to work. They'd be stupid not to.Pretty sure we can trade Lance Thomas/KOQ for that same clippers package.
If his value is that low. Dont trade him. Trade Rose, Noah, etc.
Then do it in the offseason. This is where Phil messed up. He should have kept his mouth shut and not said anything if he wanted to move him. At this point, the Knicks ain't seeing the playoffs. Inconsistent defense, or nonexistent, however you want to look at it, and on top of that....trade talk. It's too much to overcome to try to be a playoff team, and the season is only halfway done. Melo thought he could have his cake and eat it too but didn't pay attention to what was being put around him.Then we need to get creative and get more teams involved. This package we're getting from the clippers is by far the worst package we can get for Melo while at the same time showing other teams that "yea he's really not worth much"
We're currently not in a position to get a top 5 pick so its a lose lose situation for us. So just keep him until someone comes correct.
Why trade for Rose when he's going to be a FA? I'm not giving up guys on my team to rent him. He's showing some flashes of his former self, but he's going to be a high risk player until he retires. He's just going to carry that rep. And...nobody wants Noah at the moment.We have no reason to trade our best player who isn't an issue. He plays hard consistently does his job. We need to move Rose for a draft pick and stretch Noah.
I wonder what kind of value Clyde has
Think about it like this, if he had decent value he would have been on a different teamI wonder what kind of value Jennings has
Report: Celtics told Knicks they weren’t interested in Carmelo Anthony trade
The Clippers engaged the Knicks about a Carmelo Anthony trade that doesn’t include Chris Paul, Blake Griffin or DeAndre Jordan – and New York appears open to it.
Why?
Probably because the other teams the Knicks approached about an Anthony trade, the Cavaliers and Celtics, rejected the overtures.
ESPN:
Sources told ESPN that the Boston Celtics let the Knicks know they have no interest in Anthony.
This isn’t quite the Celtics not being interested in Anthony. It might be that, but this is just the Celtics telling the Knicks they’re not interested in Anthony. It could be a negotiating ploy.
The Celtics could use another scorer, but they also don’t need another subpar defender and should be wary of someone who has too often halted offensive flow. Boston wants to preserve salary-cap flexibility until making a big splash. At age 32, Anthony might not be worth the cost.
It’s also possible the Celtics aren’t interested because of the perceived asking price. Perhaps, they’d be more receptive to Anthony trade talks if they learned New York was seeking less than expected.
Anthony possesses a no-trade clause, so there’s a closed market for his services. The Knicks probably won’t get a massive return for him. Whether or not the Celtics are intentionally trying to lower New York’s asking price, I wouldn’t be surprised if Boston takes another look at an Anthony trade if New York is committed to moving him for whatever it can get, no matter how little.
