I know this is irrational, but I'm really gonna dislike Ryno if he's on this team next season and Melo isn't I hate that I've gotten to this point
How many ace bigs are there? This ain't the early 90's. Roll with our current 5s and get a third for insurance.
Take it easy, relax. If Ryan stays, he can still contribute, which may make him a trade asset in 2018-19. I know that isn't going to be enough, for us to become a real contender, but we may have no other choice.
Just putting things together from what I know. Jared Dudley had said earlier, that Melo was going to Houston. Maybe he is one of the players that know similar to how Beverley had known earlier. So this trade is probably somewhat what will happen in which The rockets might add a couple conditional firsts going to Phx to attach to Ryan Anderson as well as some NGs then PHX will give the Knicks they're expirig contracts as well as the Rockets other non guaranteed contracts PHX in Anderson, NGs and houston 1st lotto protected and a 2nd rounder- similar to what nets got for Carroll NYK in Dudley and Tyson with more NG's a 2nd from Houston Houston in Melo http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y8o987dq
Don't get hype. Dudley said it could be a buyout, a trade at the deadline, etc. He's not aware of any news.
But didn't they pull out of the Milsap sweepstakes because they wanted to go full on young guys? Won't make sense to get Anderson for 3 years/60M when they could of had Milsap for around the same money (maybe 3 years/75M)
As opposed to someone who doesn't space the floor and clogs the lane with Capela? It is much more about how a player like Anderson fits with Harden and the rest of our lineup than Anderson's individual ability.
