    Man, I would hate it for Ryno to get traded back to New Orleans. So much happened to him over there. That would really be a sad situation.

    4-team trade between Suns, Blazers, Knicks and Rockets

    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y7mxhdaq

    Blazers IN: Ryan Anderson, HOU 2018 2nd
    Blazers OUT: Harkless, Leonard, top-25 protected 2018 1st

    Suns IN: Leonard, Quarterman, Long, Blazers' top-25 protected 2018 1st, Knicks' top-14 protected 2018 1st
    Suns OUT: Bledsoe (or Knight)

    Knicks IN: Harkless, Bledsoe (or Knight)
    Knicks OUT: Anthony, top-14 protected 2018 1st

    Rockets IN: Melo
    Rockets OUT: Anderson, NG's, 2018 2nd

    Blazers get out of Leonard's contract. The top-25 protected pick will probably not transfer so it can be converted to 2-2nds or whatever. They lose Harkless but gain Anderson (the better player, right now) and a 2nd from HOU as a sweetener.

    The Suns lose Bledsoe and have to absorb Leonard but gain 2 protected 1st for their troubles. Probably won't get either 1st in 2018 but those picks can turn into multiple 2nd's or have lesser protections later on (like the Knicks' top-14 protected in 2018 becomes top-8 protected in 2019, etc.)

    Knicks get Bledsoe, the veteran PG they have been linked to and a young upside SF from Queens in Harkless. They gave up a protected 1st but getting 2 really good players for a Melo, who already has a foot out the door and they need to move, should be enough compensation for them to give up a 1st, in my opinion.

    Rockets get Melo at the cost of Anderson and one of their 2nd's next year.

    PHX is giving up Bledsoe to take on Asik's contract? I'm gonna need a reason for why they would do something so stupid.

    I think Portland is the 3rd team. New Orleans and Phoenix are interesting in being the 4th team.

    Mike does run http://dystnow.com/ so he has to have connections to get material.

    Agreed, picks would have to be part of all of this. They're going nowhere fast so rebuild mode could be their agenda.

    Knicks want Bledsoe but Suns are pushing for Knight.
    AHAHAHAHA And this is called "close in negotiations" ?
    That's like me wanting a diamond ring and I'm being offered a fifty cents faux bijoux from a vending machine

    Since I am not going to watch the Rockets even step on a court until October, I really don't care if it takes until then for this to happen. Y'all be good and do good.
