    Rumor: Phil Jackson is trying to bum rush the front office and pull the trigger on a straight up ryan Anderson for melo trade. The Knicks have hired doc rivers as head of security and is currently holding melo for safe keeping in an unknown residence. The doors are locked.

    Zhou Qi's Donte Greene Memorial Summer League Performance has all but guaranteed his inclusion in this trade.

    pretty sure "baseless rumors" is redundant

    Since he signed, I don't think he can be traded for awhile.

    Ian beagly or whatever is on espn radio right now. Not really talking about melo just about the hardaway signing. I thought he would say something about it

    If it goes down, I am not sure what I would be more excited about...

    1) Getting Melo to pair with Harden and CP

    2) Getting rid of Ryan Anderson

    Just Copy/Pasted this from Knicks Real GM!

    Mike wise says "Holy monster deal. Rockets nearing Melo deal. Daryl Morey just trumped Sam Presti for the role of America's Most Daring GM."

    Nearing deal?

    I was thinking the same. I think the 2 month rule would apply.

    Could he even be traded after being signed so soon?

    Sources: Ryan Anderson is beside himself. Driving around downtown Houston begging (thru texts) Morey's family for their fathers personal phone number.

    Lots of talk about wanting Qi from the Rox as part of the trade in Knicks forums...

    he officially signed a few days ago (thought maybe it was only an "agreement"). And i'm pretty sure that means they can't trade him for a while (can't remember the date, but someone posted it in another thread, referencing another player).

    So i'm assuming Zhou can't be included in any deal that is "imminent"
