[WojBomb?] Melo deal likely tonight?

I just went to realgm and read the anderson thread and got depression. It seems financially unless its turner and leonard it doesnt make sense for portland. knicks would have to be stupid above what human possible to do that.

 

no Melo talk, no listen

 

Uh oh. No long term salary? East? I hope Horst isnt as stipid as I bleieve he is.

 

So which east teams can it be? Either has huge expirings or big capspace

 

**** this Melo BS I'm so sick of it. I wouldn't be surprised if after all this CF wants him run out of town next offseason.

 

Tell us what you know @Batman Jones

 

at this point our only hope is if ryno just quits bball and agrees to a buyout!

 

I believe Orlando has been mentioned recently

 

I have no idea why Orlando would want Ryno, but hopefully they're stupid enough to be that 3rd team.

 

Orlando opened up around 8m after waiving cj Watson. They maybe a potential partner in taking back a small salary and or possibly shipping out one of their Europe. Wings. Forgot the guys name.

 

Maybe they'd take Leonard and send something more appealing to NY?

 

I wonder if the Knicks will be fine in eventually getting long term salary but with a smaller hit, like Nicholson (from Brooklyn) with his 18x3 deal, still better than Leonard's 30x3, i think Nicholson is also a bit better as a player fwiw...

 

Someone was mentioning Chicago and I thought there may be something there. So let's say Portland will take Anderson for Harkless and Leonard. NY will take on Harkless but don't want Leonard. I also read that NY wants a veteran point guard and they like Rondo. What about Chicago sign and trade Rondo for about $10m per year and receive Leonard back? Of course Houston and Portland will need to throw some draft picks to Chicago. Chicago currently only have on center in Robin Lopez so Leonard can be their backup 5. Plus Chicago could trade Lopez to another win now team and get some young pieces back. Just a thought.

 

It's not Melo's fault that no one wants Ryan Anderson.

 

You mean I've watched all these Melo highlights for nothing?!?!?

 

Didn't they open up around 20M after cutting Watson (5M contract)?

Orlando has Biyombo (with a huge contract) and Vucevic on the books though, not sure they'd like the idea to get also Leonard...i think they rather get Ryan at that point...

 

where are you hearing that the blazers trade is dead? Also it could be another team involved.. There is to much smoke for this trade not to happen

 

If you guys remember, Orlando had Ryan Anderson on their big board last year. He was a trade target.
