    No, just Cleveland and New York reached out to one other team that they thought he might approve. (NOT Portland)

    Knicks: No Houston, how about Cleveland?
    No Cleveland, how about [insert team here].

    Could easily see him expanding his list to get out of New York.

    So he gave NY additional teams as long as 10 days ago and they still haven't been able to find a deal better than what Morey offered? Isn't that good news?

    this is Melo's attempt to get Morey to up his offer and get him out of there before camp starts...if Morey doesn't then he'll settle for a place like Cleveland

    he's given the Rockets months to get a deal done...didn't think he'd fold, but it is what it is

    Yes he did get those guys this summer....
    But thats not why he's an idiot.
    He's an idiot for paying Ryan Anderson 4yrs $80 million

    No he's not. That signing helped us get a top seed, which made us attractive to CP3.

    There is also the angle of whether or not he has agreed to opt into his last year of his deal with any of the expanded list of teams. 1 year rental for Melo would seem to lessen an offer. He could of expanded Heat or Wizards to his list but unwilling to agree that he will opt in for that last year?

    I see Cavs fans saying that they'd give up Shump, Frye, and a non-BK 1st

    that's not a great offer either lol

    Hoping they can deal Carmelo Anthony before training camp, the Knicks reached out to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the last 10 days to gauge their interest in a possible trade, a source told the Daily News.

    Although Anthony still desires Houston as a destination, the Knicks have not budged on their stance to reject the Rockets' offer of Ryan Anderson and his large contract. The Knicks, according to a source, believe Anthony is amenable to joining the Cavs as an alternative, to play with buddy LeBron James for the three-time defending Eastern Conference champs.

    Let's just hope that the other teams aren't the Lakers, Clippers, and Blazers. Though some rumbling on twitter says they might be. Those team could pretty easily beat any offer we or the Cavs can.

    We goin to be the bridesmaids again when we had an outside shot with Melo and then lebron

    look at this line

    Although Anthony still desires Houston as a destination, the Knicks have not budged on their stance to reject the Rockets' offer of Ryan Anderson and his large contract. The Knicks, according to a source, believe Anthony is amenable to joining the Cavs as an alternative, to play with buddy LeBron James for the three-time defending Eastern Conference champs.

    is he or isn't he?
