Let's not forget, Wiggins and Towns are still getting better, and now they have Jimmy...I love CP3 and our current team, but we need Melo as he fits perfect with this team!!!
lowe said morey may not really want melo but has to at least show that's he trying to obtain him to appease cp3. think before you post. actually it would be all those guys.....plus ryan anderson.......who he apparently coveted for years look i like melo, and hate anderson the player as a starter. but i also didn't sign anderson to $80M and morey did, so it's not that outrageous to question his intents. maybe he thinks melo would disrupt chemistry for instance..
Then why are the Rockets pursuing so aggressively. If we had a couple of actual sweetners to throw in, I bet this deal would have been done already.
i honestly don't know what to believe about what we've offered and how aggressive we've been. lots of false info being spread the past few weeks. i mean we heard about meyers leonard needing a home for quite a while and then it's reported POR would never want to help us get better by facilliating melo to HOU. so nothing is certain from top to bottom in this whole mess.
We all need to move on this won't happen till August. http://www.espn.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/8256377/dwight-howard-traded-los-angeles-lakers Dwight to Lakers happened August 11. So expect this Melo trade to happen at a similar date
If you filter out all the fake news, a few reputable guys, including Woj, have been saying that deal is going to get done one way or another. The fact is Melo wants out and the only two teams he has ever been interested in is Cleveland and Houston. Everyone else has been off the table. I believe Houston has been pursuing aggressively.
Yup. I'm thinking mid to late August at the earliest. If it doesn't happen by then we will prob make a push right before training camp to get it done. Will be a long wait either way.
all parties may want/need to get the deal done, but if there's no final taker for the sh!tbag getting passed down the ryno contract exchange then i don't see how this gets resolved. i really doubt morey lets either of gordon/capela/ariza go. i'm not even sure he'd let llull's rights go. and selling off future 1st rounders doesn't look good to prospective Houston Rockets buyers. would joe chee be enough? probably not
Seems like Morey made his offers and that's it. The pressure will be on Knicks the closer the season comes. Once they become desperate Morey will add a dash of seasoning to the deal (maybe 2nd round pick) and seal it up. In the last couple of weeks, I'm sure they know all the teams that can possibly take Anderson/Leonard and the majority of what it will take to get it done. With that said, the not knowing for sure is killing me
From what people have been saying, Ariza leaving in a package seems like a no go. But would people be willing to see him go if it opens up a bit of money for us to go after Jamychal Green?? That way Melo starts at the 3.. Rynos contract, plus Arizas plus the NGs give us around 34M right? Melos contract is just over 26M. Would and offer of 8M be enough at this point to get Green?
The thing with Morey is he assigns value to players and is very cognizant of how it affects future cap space. Melo has his assigned value, and that's it. I see a lot of Knicks fans think they are going to pressure Morey into "ponying up", they just don't understand how he works.
