same thing I'm thinking..melo is still very valuable, he's just frustrated and demoralized being around so much negativity in this knicks soap opera..like guys remember melo is a winner..ever since college...he started losing after he came to the knicks...when melo has a good team around him he gets far..the nuggets squad didn't go further cuz they ran into the lakers, back when woodson was coaching the knicks had a good team and were #2 in the east, and I don't even wanna get into olympic melo. Point is a motivated melo with a good team around him is a BEAST.

Yeah, this is bull ****.
Melo isnt hindering any young players on the court and there will be no shadow of a trade all season long. That's just sensationalized media gossip.
Young dudes love Melo and love playing with him. He only helps their growth.
This is not even a concern. This next season aint even a competitive season. I don't see why Melo should be so eager to help the Knicks out when the team aint about much next season or why the Knicks would be so eager to only trade him to a team he wants to play on regardless of that we get.
Dudes just want to take any **** trade to get rid of Melo and pretend that's what's best for the team.

Phil absolutely killed any leverage we had either way, Melo staying, balling and being happy (we're not winning with or without anytime soon, get over it and stop blaming Melo) or a valuable trade. Picking and packaging with dsjr for other young pieces with potential and picks would've been an attractive look if they were really bout rebuilding.

all those teams would still lose to the Warriors, only difference is that with the Cavs he'd actually make the finals.

If they don't get rid of Love for me, I'm going to the Cavs. The East is just too easy.

Cleveland, Houston, and then Portland. hell, Portland wouldn't even be an option, bc they're not beating SA or GS anyway. Houston is a better fit for Melo than Portland, bc CP is an actual pg. Cleveland is the best choice, bc they're going to walk to the finals again.
realistically, i don't see him getting dealt, and he plays (or sits) out the season. if he does get dealt, we're not getting **** back. Houston and Cleveland have nothing to offer. Getting a third or even fourth team involved makes things hella complicated.

Get the Nets involved. They might take Ryan Anderson if a pick goes there way.

I'd def pick Cleveland, it's a straight shot to the finals. Yeah GSW is dominant but this is basketball, anything can happen. Still remember Baron Davis leading GSW to an 8th seed win over a 1 seed, and CLE coming back from 3-1 to beat GSW who were 72-10 and were still thought invincible then. Sheer will is tough to beat sometimes. Take the path of least resistance to get there.

I'm telling you. His play style is bound to make it happen
PLUS dude plays almost identical to Rose. Why would you want that?

I'd agree during the last 2 years even tho Kuz hit a wall midway thru the season.
Anytime a lottery draft pick gets the GM fired there's bound to be prejudgment. Especially when accompanied by a suspect 'banged a knee ' story... I'm ready to see what FrankNT got.

this means nothing... melo only wants to go to the rockets but mills dont want to trade him there because of a bad return... other teams have better assets to trade but the problem is melo has a NTC so its rockets or bust... i would be shocked if we traded him and if its for ryan anderson there really was no point in firing phil
