    you can tell there's a new sheriff at the helm of the Knicks. Why? They are playing this smart.

    Why is it dumb? Just cuz it doesn't side with the idea of Melo coming here?

    I wonder if eventually a buyout would occur by using stretch provision....

    I may be delusional but this seems like the perfect storm to create a buy out.

    They want to screw us out of a good summer camp so we can't gel before the season. It's just revenge for the Tmac deal. No biggie.

    Maybe because there are 20 other Melo threads that this could go in. This thread offers nothing new.

    Everyone keeps talking about "when" he will be here, but nobody is talking about "what if the Knicks keep him". Sounds like a good idea for a discussion.

    So, if nobody trades for Carmelo Anthony, do the Knicks

    a) keep him, or
    b) buy him out?

    If the Knicks wanted to, I could see them putting up a road block for Anthony out of spite. Waiting him out to see what the other opportunities are. Of course this would kill any shot of the Knicks rebuilding this year but hey--- it's the Knicks.

    I'm pretty sure this very topic has been discussed in almost every other Melo thread.

    I feel like there's zero chance they will allow the Melo sore to fester for an entire 82 game season while trying to rebuild. I think Morey probably knows that too. And they gave the man a no trade clause...sooooo....they can trade him to Houston...or they can let him be a cancer amongst the young guys they're going to try to rebuild around. Good luck :)

    The other thread has had it's share of back and forths on that very topic. Just hard to find through the periodic moments of derailment.
