    This is exactly it. Anderson (for the Knicks' rebuilding effort), is the worst of the worst offers.

    I honestly expect a trade announcement soon, like today..Melo does not want to attend NY circus, so he said screw it, I'll add OKC and Cavs...OKC, cool consider it done today..let's roll!! Lucky bastards!!

    I mean, u could make the argument that they would be, they'd at least be in the tier with us and San Antonio...I wouldn't feel confident about facing them in the playoffs at all if that team gelled

    OKC was already a dangerous team without Melo

    Well they would be but those rankings are meaningless.

    Perry deserves some credit for this. The assumption that Melo wouldn't never crack in his resolve seemed a bit optimistic. Waiting it out was definitely the best play. The Knicks will be better for it.

    I look forward to all the media members who said Melo to Houston would be a chemistry disaster now calling Melo to OKC a "perfect fit"

    Appears that way, but the deal has not been executed. We shall see.

    With all the turmoil going on in the news, Kobe Cp3 and Lebron speaking out. This would be an interesting time for a Woj bomb.

    Going by ch44 info, it sounds like Melo is giving the Rockets one last chance to up the offer. Don't do it Morey.

    Hmmm. I still think we can flip Llull or Chinanu for a pick to give to NYK

    What if we gave the Knicks the rights to Sergio Llull or give a team like the Pelicans Llull for a 2019 1st in which Llull would have to come over next year

    Gotta say, I am very surprised Melo opened up his list. I thought for sure with CP3/Morey the Rockets could work something to their favor. Maybe in some way they still are.

    Rockets best hope is a 3 team trade where the 3rd Team Asset Package is better than Kanter+McDermott type package. Sad state of affairs that Kanter is valued more than Anderson just for the fact that Kanter's contract is "shorter." The Kanter package is the "lesser of two evils" package.

    Another GM handing their best player to OKC for free. Amazing.
