    Makes little sense that they want to wait for his value to go higher, how can his value go up if he's expiring and can be traded only to one team? Exactly, makes no sense.

    Ramona was also in denial when Dwight Howard was flying to LA to let the Lakers know he was Houston-bound. I think she plays the contrarian in case reality takes an unexpected turn. That way, she could say she was first

    They hired a new GM, they would be morons to not pause the deal, a reputation the media is throwing at them so it's harder for Houston to make this trade. Get him off Sports center off Undisputed and off everyone's mind. Morey will then do what he does best and make an under the radar deal.

    This very well could just be a negotiation tactic.
    "Pausing" to help push this deal through quicker.

    Maybe trying to make someone flinch who was perhaps asking too much or on the fence

    Potato still says Melo will end up in Houston.

    This is just the new GM doing due diligence.

    I really don't think the Knicks want to go into next season with Melo on their team... Lot of time between now and the deadline.

    Chances are, after the new GM “reassesses" this, most likely he's gonna say trading Melo to Houston is still the best option. Think about it. Steve Mills is his boss and has been working on this for a while. If the new guy comes in and stop the trade, it's like telling his boss "you're a fxxking moron"...

    They want Melo back; he most likely doesn't want to come back

    Maybe I'm just greedy, but I want Melo without giving up Anderson. Or anyone.

    Well, at least they didn't say they are pulling out of talks with us.

    A couple of things ... CLE is also a suitor. They pause the trade talks with us and CLE, so CLE is still in it.

    Second, pause meaning ... they want to reevaluate ... not necessarily to keep him
