    http://nypost.com/2017/08/10/the-latest-nba-star-who-wants-carmelo-anthony-to-join-his-team/

    ...
    The Post reported last month the Pelicans would be interested in facilitating a three-team Anthony deal. According to an NBA source, New Orleans also would have interest in getting Anthony for its roster.

    Nevertheless, an NBA source told The Post that Anthony has told the Knicks he would not agree to waive his no-trade clause for New Orleans.

    According to the source, the Knicks are still hopeful Anthony eventually will expand his wish list beyond the Rockets — with the Trail Blazers, Cavaliers, Thunder and Pelicans holding interest.

    The source said the Knicks brass has told Anthony he needs to do so because they are unwilling to make a “bad trade” — and he seemed to understand the team’s position.

    ...
    But Anthony still has no desire to team up in the Big Easy, site of his grandest moment when Syracuse won the NCAA championship there in 2003.

    For now, it’s a standoff, but the Knicks have more leverage than advertised. The club’s primary goal is not an eighth seed, but developing its young corps, so Knicks management can pull another Stephon Marbury and not play Anthony if he causes disturbances at training camp.

    Their leverage grew with Tuesday’s signing of scoring forward Michael Beasley, who was talented enough to be picked No. 2 by the Heat — behind Derrick Rose — in the 2008 draft.

    If the Knicks can’t find a trade that makes sense, owner James Dolan and president Steve Mills are adamant about not waiving Anthony or using the stretch provision. The thinking goes Anthony likely will opt out after the season, giving them cap space galore. His trade value also could skyrocket at February’s deadline.

    Anthony has an unyielding yen for the Rockets and has been in contact with longtime buddy Paul, as well as Harden.

    The Knicks found unappealing a scenario proposed by the Rockets in which they would acquire Ryan Anderson’s contract, which has three years and $60 million remaining. Limited as a “stretch 4,” Anderson also has the misfortune of playing Kristaps Porzingis’ position.

    It's just a staring contest or a poker game right now. In Morey I trust.

    I thought the same thing. Beasley somehow means they have leverage? I've seen him play; that's not leverage.

    It feels like NYK trying to create the illusion that they have more say in this matter than they actually have. Some people have suggested that Melo may need to get whiny and I think that may be an option the closer we get to the start of the season. The Knicks/Phil did trash Melo for much of last season. They made their bed here.

    I'd give up RA, expirings, and one first round pick. Maybe add a second. That's it. We can ride with RA and be fine.

    I don't think the New York media realizes that melo is fine with playing two years in New York for 54 million bucks. He's not opting out. If was going to opt out and he really wanted to play somewhere else he would have waived his no trade clause. The only other place he'd rather play than NY is Houston, although he prefers to play in Houston I don't think it matters that much to him.

    27% of your salary cap sitting on the bench is a great way to build a team, for possible 2 years.

    Not going to happen.

    Some posters made the point that Mills is doing his due diligence to try and get a better deal for NYK however he can before or instead of trading Melo to Houston. Morey would do the same in a similar situation (which we would never have). Just chalk the up to another Mills bullet spent hoping it hits something.

    Kind of. The story was historical fiction.

    The battle of thermopylae happened in real life but the story that we see in the movie in comics belongs to frank miller.

    Right? If Michael Beasley is your leverage, you're in serious trouble.
