    How have the Knicks not been enticed by Cash Considerations.

    You are letting his poor playoffs performance color your judgement. Anderson is typically on much more than he is off and he has hit a lot of really huge threes for us, meaning he can and does hit big shots when the pressure is on. A 40% shooter is nothing to scoff at and I feel people severely underestimate/overlook this.

    Harden
    Melo
    Noel
    Cousins

    Cousins won't be traded yet but he still def a trade deadline target once NO implodes as expected.

    NO didn't give up a lot to get Cousins. A package centered around Capela could be enticing for them.. our lack of picks will be tough to overcome

    Plot Twist: Rockets engaging trade talks with New York, trade for Jeremy Lin from Nets. Instant championship

    No. Unless Cousins tells them he's leaving even if they suck they won't trade him. They will hope to resign him in the summer.
    They can't afford to trade for scraps and pieces, with Davis nearing his FA.

    So as many points as who think Ryan will get you at the stretch 4 when he's on is about as many as he will be giving up to guys like Lamarcus Aldridge like he did in the playoffs against the Spurs. Believe me it is great to have a big that can shoot from the perimeter, but when that is THE ONLY contribution he can make and when THAT ONLY contribution is not being contributed... what is he good for?

    Absolutely nothing. Which again to my point, you're comparing apples and oranges when you say that Capela is less valuable than Ryan because he contributes more on the defensive end to compensate for his offensive deficiencies.

    If you don't understand that, you just don't understand basketball.

    My guess is the Knicks are being dicks about this and dragging their feet just to be doing this. They pinned the blame on Melo for YEARS. But now that's he's got all the leverage they're hesitant to let him free, knowing he's going to a better situation and better organization. I guarantee if they were sending him to the Hornets or Kings, the trade would've been done weeks ago. Anything to make sure Melo doesn't go somewhere and prosper

    even if Woj posted it I would have the same response let alone a poster here.

    You can look all you want..I bet NY is also looking for someone to take on Noah.

    Hey, it's a cheap flight on Southwest. What can I say? Um, I miss air conditioning, Texas Roadhouse, and greasy cheap tacos at Jack-in-the-Box, but a little R&R does a body good after waiting for the playoffs to end to take my flight here. Unfortunately, the wait was not worth the outcome, but maybe next year will be different.
