    Are u stupid or something? Idgaf about what you're talking about. You quoted me fool. Take your nonsense somewhere else. I'm not reading your little anti-Harden conspiracies.

    What would you give up for Kevin Love if we can help get Melo to Cleveland?

    Why would the Cavs give up Brooklyn's 1st? Melo isn't worth a guaranteed top 5 pick.

    Yet another fail in the Tilman era. His financial troubles are really killing us.

    Nothing. If we don't have what it takes to get Melo, why would we be included in a trade for him to go somewhere else? That means we have nothing to offer the Knicks. Cavs would be sending Love and players they like to the Knicks, not to the Rockets.

    Shouldn’t matter to Morey one way or another. The only transaction that’s worth it to the Rockets is Melo in, Anderson out. Any rotation player in addition to Anderson is not worth it. Even if it was Ariza alone. Melo can’t replace Ariza’s defense. He can replace Anderson’s scoring and defense (or lack thereof)

    What do Cavs have to actually offer with making the money work out?

    Joking aside, I'm willing to include Capela if we can get Love . Capela is due for big money which we may not be able to afford.

    Edit: meant Love

    This is pretty much how I feel. Gordon and Capela, who I assume the Knicks are interested in, are more valuable to me than Carmelo. Take Anderson or don’t.

    I’d trade Ariza but he may be untouchable with Paul and Harden.

    Melo cant replace Ariza's defense, but Tucker can. If it comes down to getting Melo, Ariza should be gone

    Agreed. I'm not a fan of Ryan and i think Melo would be an upgrade, but at this point of his career he's far from a star like he was years ago. Definitely not worth losing guys like Ariza and Gordon.

    Ariza’s length and versatility makes him a better defender than Tucker in my opinion. Tucker is good, but he’s aggressive like Bev. Might be better suited off the bench. Luc Mbah Moute is on the roster, too.

    This on top of the new Harden rule is killing the mood.
