    Fwiw, this doesn't prove that any of the reports were wrong. There was too much smoke. I still believe potato was right he couldn't predict a new gm changing things.

    This just means the knicks have backed away. Could have still been at the two yard line and they've just called a timeout.

    Who knows what's going on anymore. Like I said, knicks weren't getting a great deal so I can't blame them for not being too excited.

    Anyway gents, I'm stepping away from
    Here until we get more information. Tired of wasting my energy.

    Thanks for the great times these last fes weeks!

    No offense but this is LaLa Land. The fact is the Knicks want more for Melo and were likely frustrated with complicated trade scenarios and think they can pull a power play to get Melo to expand his list of teams he'd be traded to.

    And they probably said if that doesn't work out, negotiating a buyout is a better option that deal with what they'd have to do to get minimal assets in the Melo deal and the cap space with using the stretch provision would be better than the assets they are getting.

    Also ... they have all summer. There is no rush to do the deal before training camp. They know what they can get and the Rockets offer won't change.

    Basically *** NY. Dysfunctional idiots that are holding back competent teams and their players/staff/fans.

    The Knicks have no power here. Keep an unhappy player who want to leave- who could opt in after next year- or trade him to his preferred destination. That's it.

    They are idiots who never should have progressed with serious trade talks with only two teams who had no desired assets to trade for him in a deal that made sense.

    Learn from Danny Ainge and the Pierce/Garnett/BKN trade. Work quietly to get the best deal with the teams willing to pay for the player and then you go to the player to waive their no trade. Don't let the player determine the market.

    Will we even be able to sign Melo if he's bought out?

    I believe we would still have to move Anderson somewhere since we were hard capped if I am not mistaken.

    No we don't have to. Melo can take the BAE.
