    Which is why it's even more incredulous that some think we somehow took a step back by trading away role players for the Point God.

    We cant let capela go. He is crucial to this offense. Paul and harden gonna throw him lobs. We also need value on a rookie contract.

    this sounds a lot more realistic...Toronto isn't taking Ryno's contract when they still have to pay Lowry and just paid Ibaka...they could then use those savings to try and bring back Patterson

    that trade would be another win for Morey

    Since we have the top 2 playmakers Gordon's "playmaking" isn't needed.

    I'd rather trade Gordon than Capella. We need him for lob city

    Im 100 percent with you there. Capela is untouchable. We need his skillset

    I'm calling it right now.

    Houston gets Melo
    Detroit gets Anderson
    Knicks get Tobias Harris and Leuer

    SVG still has a hard on for Ryno and Detroit needs more spacing than a scared ex gf

    Harris and Leuer is a better package than anything the Knicks will get for Melo and Harris' $16 million comes off the books in two years.

    Seems Knicks don't want Ryno so need a third team and likely add a sweetener which we don't have except for Capela.

    Bet anything Murray is doing everything to figure out a way to wrangle together an alternative sweetener. And that's why this isnt done yet.

    Houston needs to add Ryan Kelly for salary to match, and probably needs to add a 1st to Detroit, but I like it.

    Something like this could work:

    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y8rym95n

    Rockets get Carmelo Anthony

    Knicks get N. Vucevic, Mario Hezonja, HOU 2020 1st round pick

    Magic get Ryan Anderson, Ryan Kelly, and Tim Quarterman, NYK 2018 2nd Round Pick, HOU 2019 2nd Round pick

    I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't think Capela is untouchable. Close, but not 100% untouchable.

    hopefully Melo just up and says I'm not being traded unless it's to Rockets or cavs forcing the Knicks to work a deal with us

    Since Melo can reject any trade he does not like
