    Whether or not Melo ends up with Cleveland, the thought that we would convince the Knicks to send him our way by giving up only Ryno and non-guaranteed contracts was ridiculous. Not basketball talk

    Not really ridiculous because of his NTC and it saves them millions this year and they know they are rebuilding. If that's what we offered for anyone else it'd be a joke.

    If it helps keep LeBron, then it's very much in play. Cleveland has lots of trade pieces that would trump most anything we have or would offer. Worst case is LeBron walks and so does Melo leaving them max money to attempt to recover - but at least they tried.

    Preparing myself for riding with Ryan...

    Yeah, the trade is good because it gives them two pieces (Thomas and Crowder) to help them compete this season and two pieces (Nets pick and Zizic) to make a potential rebuild a bit faster, no way in hell they trade that pick before Lebron agrees to an extension (which would eventually happen next summer).

    As long as LeBron remains uncommitted to Cleveland, he's not going! Take it from the horse's mouth (errr Windhorst's mouth):

    Cavs off the table, why?

    Only he knows for sure but it's uncertainty with LeBron. He doesn't want to be traded to Cleveland. Wherever he ends up, he will want another contract a year from now. If he was going to Houston, it's not just for this year, it's the foreseeable future. He sees Cleveland, LeBron not willing to commit & I don't want to be there with them holding my rights with LeBron gone.

    He has to know with LeBron.

    I don't think he's called LeBron and asked if "Are you staying or going?" I think he's called asking "Are you planning on staying?" "Bro, I don't know if I'm staying." I don't know is not a satisfactory answer.
    ​
    What, because IT(who is also now expiring), Crowder & a first is there, he'll be open to it now?

    ?
    The only reason for the 3rd team is to get Melo. Why would we want another team if Melo is already gone?

    Edit. Re-read it. 2nd sentence is a statement. Got it. Punctuation is everything.

    Won't be surprised if both Kyrie and Lebron are dealt. Hopefully Lebron to us :)

    At what point during the course of this thread's life has a Melo trade been imminent?

    Harden's gonna be groovin when he has cp3 and melo by his side. It'll be crazy. He'll be an efficient beast. He knew how to be really efficient by westbrook and durant.

    it'll be easy for him to play with cp3 and melo
