    But can they offer him a supporting cast? If Melo's first priority is winning, he won't go somewhere just to get a max contract.

    Lakers are out. Not a real consideration because he could just stay in New York.

    1. Knicks
    2a. Rockets
    2b. Bulls(Not entirely ruling them out but if your only means to now acquiring him is by sign and trade...)
    3. Mavs
    4. Lakers
