    All we really need to do is wait until Melo gets into training camp when he can call Hardaway Jr (who he doesn't like and vice versa) a little b*tch and get into a fight with him. Then NY will trade him quickly.

    I don't understand the waiting for better offers part. Like waiting for a better third team to be involved? The Knicks literally can't trade him to any other team besides The Rockets.

    Obviously they can choose to keep him but there will be no other suitors to wait for.

    Knowing the Knicks they probably think if they ignore it long enough it'll magically disappear LOL.

    I'm confused. Is this "breaking news" because Woj is involved, or because Melo is involved? Because it's not "breaking" or "news" by the traditional definitions of those terms, so it must be because of who is involved...

    Don't forget this is the same team that did the Lin signing offer dodging shenanigans.
    Basically, if they were a functional organization then this kind of situation would not have happened.

    Knicks fans are suggesting letting Melo ride the bench during the season until he opens up to more teams. I would love to see how the New York media would react to big contracts Melo and Noah rotting on the bench and hurting their chances of attracting future free agents and keeping KP down the road.

    They are the Cleveland browns of the NBA and the fans are just as clueless. Its been so long since they won that trying to keep memo hostage is all their pathetic asses can hope for. Can't wit to see look on their faces when Knicks fold and trade him to us. Lol.

    Oh well
    This will drag on till then.

    Codman said training camp was the perfect time. Or just perfect timing since the players are planning to go to the Caribbean for training camp or a retreat. Idk

    Knicks can't afford a disgruntled Melo around Porzingis who the Knicks want to build the franchise around. Porzingis will be front and center to see how Melo is treated and that might encourage him to bolt when he gets the chance.

    With the Knicks you should expect them to do Knicks like things. Which in this case would totally be to keep Melo this season thinking somehow that his value will increase at the deadline, and then thinking he might opt in and be valuable to trade next Summer... all the while they still have a big name to put on the marquee other than KP.

    Honestly the most "Dolan-like" thing for the Knicks to do would be to keep him, and create unnecessary drama.

    If it didn't happen at the beginning of July, I don't really know when it would happen guys. Its not like the Rockets just grew assets out of Moreys backside, or got rid of Ryan Andersons contract to avoid having him in the deal. I think its more likely that Melo increases his trade options than it is that New York all the sudden falls in love with Houstons trade options. And if Morey does do the deal you guys will probably hate it cause it will include Eric Gordon or Capela.

    But keep holding out hope guys. #Soon.
