http://twitter.com/Chris_Broussard #Chris_Broussard Knicks have reached out to Memphis about sending OJ Mayo to DEN in 3-team deal that would send Carmelo Anthony to New York, sources say.
Ny would do better if they only trade Gallinari for Mayo. And then sign Marc Gasol this summer. Felton Mayo Chandler Amare M.Gasol is better than Felton Fields Melo Amare Turiaf O.J. Mayo is very very underrated, and he still have many years to improve. I would love to see him in Rockets.
I don't think Memphis will ask for much outside of salary relief, they need the money to re-sign Gasol and Z-bo. It wouldn't be a straight salary dump but something like Tony Douglas might work for them. Also imagine if the Knicks also pick up Thabeet in the deal, could be a scary trade.
Rockets should get invoked and try and pry gasol away. I'd give up hill and bud for the Marc, might as well since it doesnt seem like we can get melo
...lets see what the stats say in 4 years when Gallo is out of the league because of a bad back and Mayo is still an underrated defender and shooter.
Why would Memphis do that? A guy in Hill who has potential but thus far has been inconsistent and a role player in Budinger for Gasol? I doubt they do that deal. Gonna have to up your offer. As much grief Denver gets for pulling out of potentially close deals, 'rearranging' deals, etc., if this is the case with 'Melo and he doesn't want to go there or sign an extension, he needs to come out and say so or at least tell Denver management. Sure as heck would clear things up a bit.
Agree with hsf09, that won't get it done. Gasol is their franchise center, they will ask for quite a bit. PPat, JHill, CLee, Bud, Battier, Jeffries and Yao would have be involved in some combo to get the convo started.
Nvm Marc, he's untouchable. Get Mayo instead. I don't care if we have C Lee, we can trade some of the wings for an upgrade.
4 way trade NYK Trade: Wilson Chandler, Eddy Curry, Kelenna Azubuike, Landry Fields, Anthony Randolph, Bill Walker, Andy Rautins NYK Receive: Carmelo Anthony, Al Harrington, Anthony Carter, Melvin Ely, Sebastian Telfair Nugs Trade: Carmelo Anthony, Al Harrington, Anthony Carter, Melvin Ely Nugs Receive: OJ Mayo, Wilson Chandler, Eddy Curry, Kelenna Azubuike, Minnesota 1st round pick Grizz Trade: OJ Mayo Grizz Receive: Landry Fields Wolves Trade: Sebastian Telfair, 1st round pick Wolves Receive: Anthony Randolph, Bill Walker, Andy Rautins NYK does it because they pick up Carmelo Nugs are able to pick up a young rising star in Mayo, a solid wing in Chandler, expirings in Curry and Azubuike, and a 1st round pick. Also, they are able to get rid of Harringtons contract. Grizz flip Mayo for a younger player with good potential. Mayo has been causing problems on the team so this will help the chemistry. Wolves apparently already have a deal in place with the Knicks to swap Randolph for thier 1st rounder. Then, they pick up two young, solid players in Walker and Rautins in exchange for their 3rd string PG.
