[Woj] Carmelo Anthony open to waiving no-trade clause for Rockets or Cavaliers

I don't know why you guys are so high on Ariza. He is horrendous offensively and the Rockets won't win a championship with him starting.

 

Can you verify that? Why can't the Rockets go out and re-stockpile more non-guaranteeds?

 

Okay.......

If we cannot get the front court where we want it, there is also the 2018-19 season, right?

 

That's like 2348923 bazillion years away though.

 

I'm pretty sure that if the Rockets went out and got a bunch more non-guaranteed players they'd have to wait before being able to trade them.

 

What are the timelines on non-guaranteeds? I'm pretty fuzzy on the rules.

-A time limit to use them? What happens if they don't use them in a deal?
-And a time limit in which they cannot be used after they've been acquired?


What are the exact time limits? Weeks? Days?

 

Memory a little fuzzy but the only guy that becomes partially guaranteed is Ryan Kelly. The rest can be cut up to December. They can't get more NGs and use them the way they want to because they had to have traded for them before the new CBA started on July 1.

 

Great, we are waiting for the Knicks to be a functioning organization. Could be awhile.

 

That's right. Don't the new rules state you can't use NG's in trades to make up salary match deficiencies?

 

Yeah that's what I was thinking, something like that. Wouldn't they need Ryan Kelly as part of a deal for Melo?

 

I like the idea of the BAE not being used until later when buy outs happen and Morey is in the a good position offer that to have an advantage over the other contenders.

I do not believe Morey is going to hang on to those NGteed contracts past their dates of guarantee. What would be the point to spend money on them for the nature of those contracts and then let them become useless, given that you traded for the contracts and not the player themselves. Makes no sense... we essentially have until the 7th to do something with scrub Ryan Kelly's contract. I do not believe Morey for one second when he says that he is going to go into the season with his arsenal of TPEs... yeaaa ok, DM... ok

I think this Melo thing might drag on a little bit. The fact of the matter is this. Carmelo Anthony holds all the cards. NYC has no leverage. All this bogus story about them wanting draft picks, young talent for MELO is stupid. Melo has chosen 2 teams, these 2 teams do not have any of those things....... so it will come down to either you trade him and get his salary off your books, you go into the season with a disgruntled Melo, or you end up swallowing the money and buying him out. I think the choice for the NY Knicks is pretty easy one. We just have to wait......... and ROCKETS have to find a 3rd team smh or even a fourth. I have said this forever, since we got Ryan, he was going to be one of the MOST TOXIC contractsin the NBA, i didn't think it was going to be nuclear waste.

The market is drying up quick and good teams do not have that much money to spend anymore..... so the Vets that want to min could be looking for smaller deals now..... or if they wants to get paid go to the scrubs of the world like suns and nets. We will see.......

In conclusion, rejoice.... we are better than we were last season, we have a good GM who doesnt show his cards to the world so take what he is saying with a grain of salt........ Sunny days are ahead.!!! Rejoice.

P.S. Rednation and clutchfans and Rockets twitter should get back to their normal lives and get away from their f5 buttons.... the world is passing us by.... this might take a while.

 

He's gonna force a buy out...watch. We're playing cool by "bargain shopping."

 

Seems u got yours stuck up Moreys ass and he ain't too smart chris paul wasn't the answer to our problems dumb ass

 

We will see how he works out in a team with a few elite ball-handlers on it. Without Harden during the playoffs, Ariza had to create his own shot at times and it was pretty awkward and he certainly shouldn't have to do that very often. Hopefully with Harden and Paul always on the floor Ariza can take outlets and get buckets.

 

Hey Rookie, stay in your lane... I bet you are from the same wagon that says we should trade Harden too huh? kick rocks.

I agree, Ariza is over the hill, would be good off the bench, we need another starting SF.

 

Ariza is not over the hill. He's been a great addition this 2nd time around on both ends of the court.


Melo will be a Rocket. Bye bye Ryan Anderson

 

Is this you responding to Bima. If not, you are not alone on that take. I agree, too.

 

That is not me.. my twitter handle is a mystery.... quite active on twitter though.

and yes... I agree with the man... it just seems odd.

 

If i am Knicks, i want Gordon, Ariza, Capela, Anderson and 3 1st round picks. Oh, and also Nene....for a good measure.

 

I like your hair, fam
