    She pointed out that he said we wouldn't get Paul either. It wasn't that big of a deal, but funny to see the escalations #popcorn

    I do find it amusing to see posters speak in certainties about the deal not going to happen. Chris Paul changed the game sons

    Snell's contract was one of the worst of the offseason. He is definitely not better than Harkless. Snell averaged 8 ppg with a PER of 10. And they pay him 50+ million as a wing? Give me Harkless any day.

    If Melo says it's Houston or nobody else, it's done.

    They can't let Melo and THJ Jr. on the court together, remember?

    There remains mutual interest between the Knicks and free agent point guard Rajon Rondo, per league sources. Both sides are in touch as the Knicks continue to search for a veteran point guard. Rondo is likely one of several guards they are considering. New York has less than $2 million in cap space and a $4.3 million exception to offer free agents at the moment. But the club may create cap space via trade; the Knicks remain interested in trading Carmelo Anthony. There isn't unanimous support in the organization for signing Rondo. But it's worth noting that young players in Sacramento and Chicago have raved about Rondo's mentorship and his ability to assist with player development. The Knicks are looking for a mentor to rookie Frank Ntilikina.

    Trading Melo for Ryno + NG Bros will increase their cap space by about $7M, should be enough to add Rondo.

    Rockets need to hurry this deal up.

    Knicks look like they are going to land Griffin (GM)

    He will def try to get Kevin Love. His baby

    Serious question.

    Why do you call him a zero defense player?

    Reputation? Do you actually watch him? Just repeating things you've heard?

    Sure, but will Dan Gilbert be ready to hand Griff a "win"? Besides, it's still up to Melo where he wants to go ultimately.

    True but I feel if he truly likes Love, he will try to get it done.

    Love > Anderson

    Melo has made it clear. Cavs or Rockets. (from Reports)
