    Holy sheet dude, I swear I totally made my bold prediction before I read your post. This is totally going to happen. Sam Presti is going to get his revenge.

    NY has little leverage and must get rid of Melo...no ifs, ands, or buts about it

    Melo isn't playing basketball in Oklahoma unless he's on the visiting team.

    of course there is. As I said that's the difference between someone capable in negotiations (blackmailing) and someone who is an idiot like Mills.
    2 options? Go sit at your house until you change your mind. Meantime I will wreck even more your reputation to the NY media in a way that noone will be sympathetic to u.

    Porzingis looking for an exit? Please...he isn't going to take the qo that's just bullshit.

    Exactly. It sounds like we have some closet Knicks fans here holding out hope for a better deal that is never coming.

    I just saw melo at Chulas. He went in the stall to take a dump and sat his bare ass on the toilet seat.

    I left before things got messy, but hopefully he at least washes his hands.

    if we want Melo to be traded to the Rockets we can only pray and hope that Dolan isn't willing to fire his kissing ass cronies and Griffin wont' tolerate it.
    Otherwise with Griffin as captain of the ship, they won't do smth as stupid as taking back Rhyno or freaking Meyers Leonard.

    You poison the locker room if Melo is still on the roster when the season begins along with making the Knicks reputation even worse than it already was around the league. It's honestly not a valid option. They have to trade him to one of the 2 teams he's willing to waive his no trade for or negotiate a buyout. That's really all there is to it.

    Knicks fans: Melo has a no trade clause. Stop being delusional. You are not getting much back for him when he is limited to just 2 teams and holds all the power. Unless you want a star player that's disgruntled to ruin yet another Knicks season you might as well get rid of him and cut your losses.

    So you think he's going to Cleveland then? That's literally the only other option.

    You poison nothing if you send him packing to his house. The root of the issue was the triangle that poisoned the lockeroom not Melo himself.
    How exactly he poisons the lockeroom?

    Much more valid option than getting back huge bad contracts. They don't have to do anything. They are his employees and pay him. If he doesnt' waive his NTC for other teams he is free to get his paycheck in his house, get wrecked in the press and get older without a ring. That is called leverage. They have leverage over Melo. He can't go trade himself where he wants while getting paid.

    Other besides a good breakfast, lunch & dinner, what does Ramona know that Mike, Adrian & Potato don't?

    (What this very thread is titled/about): "The Rockets are turning full attention to completing a deal with the New York Knicks to acquire eight-time All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony."

    The rockets need be smart in what they are giving up. If we give Anderson and a pick for it I would be fine with that. If NY won't do a deal (with or without a 3rd team) then I truly believe melo will be bought out but at the same time if gets bought out I think the Cavs have a better chance of getting him. Either way in morey I trust.
