    If Paul the octopus was still around, he would have already given us the correct date and time. I'm giving you permission to make a Chris Paul the octopus account.

    It makes more sense Knicks may hold up Melo trade talk until the situation of Kyrie solved. Obviously their hope is to land Kyrie without giving up KP, or at least see if they have any oppourtunity before indeed trade Melo.

    Some thinking, without KP, the best offer Knicks can make is Melo, F.Ntinikina, their 2018 first rounder pick. The delimma is Melo doesn't want to traded to CLE when Kyrie is out & Lebron possible out next year, and the Cavs has little interest on the assets. The players Knicks are offering are either too old or too young, and CLE would like someone useful for both another championship run and possible re-build.

    So if Knicks want to gain some realistic traction, they need (1) get some veterans Cavs is interested in Melo-Ryan three or four way trade (2) get at least a very solid young (starter) player for F.Ntinikina and FRP.

    Both are hard tasks, how can a team give up good veteran for Ryan Anderson? And there is little chance team give up very promising young starters for a guard doesn't play single game and a estimated 10~14# pick.

    There is no clearly targets and I just give some thinking. If think more, that should go to wrong direction. For guess, Denver may be one team willing to trade young prospects for Ntinikina and FRP, Gary Harris is a good player but his contract expiring next year, they can't pay both him and Nikola Jokic , and they already have Jamal Murray. Wilson Chandler should be a player Cavs likes. If Detroit want to take Ryan, does Cavs like Reggie Jackson? I don't know.

    Just ignore the grammer and spelling error which I should made some.

    One thing that I keep coming back to in regards to Melo/Cavs is the fact that Melo in their starting lineup with Love and LeBron makes little to no sense. You play Love at the 5 and basically have to defensive bigs? Melo is best at the 4, and he can't defend 3s, so then what? That leaves LeBron defending 2s or 3s? It just seems like one big mess in terms of matchups. There are many reasons the Cavs shouldn't trade for Melo, and how he fits on their team is one of those IMO. You don't trade for Melo and then have him come off the bench.

    Personally, I think this guy is the holdup:



    He signed a deal on July 6th, so he can't be traded for 30 days. I think we're all waiting for that moratorium period to end for Melo. I think he's got to be part of the deal to make it worth it for New York.

    I just made an argument that Zhou Qi may help with this trade.....but now I would like to argue my argument.
    If the team is for sale, and there is potential for Chinese buyers, not sure if trading away Zhou Qi would be likely.
    I don't know much, but just saying...

    I heard him live. He is basically saying the Rockets dont have enough for Melo and that Melo should suck it up and allow himself to be traded to the Cavs for Kyrie since Kyrie really wants to be a Knick.

    He said that he knows for Sure HOU wont give up EG. He also said Ryno isnt enough for Melo, Capela isnt enough, and Ariza isnt enough. He is speaking as a Knicks homer as always and isnt understanding that Melo's value is low and him having a NTC makes it even lower.
