Knicks, Rockets working on Carmelo Anthony trade scenarios

See "PagingCyberx" thread. And that thread was about the apparent "inevitability" of getting either Dragic, Bledsoe, or Rubio.... and we ended up with Lawson.

But yes, this inevitable delay in the Melodrama will continue to drive Rockets fans mad, and ultimately they will turn on Morey as if its his problem that they didn't get their new toy..... when they just got Chris Paul for crying out loud.

IMO there is certainly a positive side to this deal stalling, and ultimately not happening which seems like more of a possibility as time goes on. Which is.... if the Rockets don't get Melo this Summer, they have a real shot at being able to pitch Lebron this Summer, and have CP3, and Lebron negotiate together to fit in the Rockets can space. Based on what I see the Rockets could move EG and get up to like 43 million in cap space they could pitch to those two as as combo signing. If they can move Anderson instead of EG next summer that gets us up to around 50 million.

Also if the Rockets can find a way to get Ryno's value up more it will help exponentially. Right now that contract is really what is hamstringing the franchise from making the next move, but from Morey's perspective, he probably wasn't thinking his value would be that bad around the league as the leagues best stretch 4 should have held more value than he has.

 

• Is there really any evidence no third team wants Ryno?
• Is this talk of Ryno being untradeable just cfnet continuing a season-long argument from the "Ryan Anderson makes $20m" thread....with ppl seemingly as interested in the trade failing as succeeding, so they can be right about b****ing at Morey for signing that deal. Looking at you @J.R. and @Zboy

Seems to me there is indeed one 3rd team already lined up who wants in on this three-way because they want Ryno (if not more teams), and the Pause is a lot about Knicks overvaluing their leverage.

 

I think there are more more than 3 teams (CHA; NOP; SAC) that want Ryno, but trading him to one of these three teams makes sense: (1) DET; (2) POR; or (3) UTH.
Detroit makes the most sense and IMHO is likely the 3rd party. Just waiting for the Knicks to realize Kyrie ain't happening (for now).

 

Jaster is clearly a moron. Why are we still posting his tweets?

 

I just hope it happens sooner then later. It's hard to sit down and look at this team because of all the possible moving pieces

 

At this point there is no urgency for the Knicks to trade Carmelo. They have little leverage except some time. They will wait it out until the "start of training camp" (hoping some team gets antsy to improve the trade offers before then). Morey won't get antsy. But maybe a "third team" will, and thus improve their offer to NY. But aside from that, the Knicks will wait until training camp. Then they will be forced to decide to make a trade or have Melo in camp.

Just face the facts that there might not be resolution to this Carmelo situation until late September.

 

that Jaster trade is the worse trade i've ever seen on Clutch fans. dude bumped his head

 

This ones a tough one guys. Someone help figure out what he means.

 

Gotcha!!

That was too easy.

Now you are on record saying you indeed have zero interest to say "I told you so, Morey fans." should this trade fail. Further, you are rooting for Morey, while bashing him for Ryno's contract at the same time, so I'd expect an apology for Morey should he indeed have a 3rd Team for Ryno...and trade goes down....especially with news the 3rd Team was willing back prior to the Melopause period.

 

Deal will get done. Kiss my ass. Thank you pessimists.

 

This dudes awesum ^

 

Is jaster a Knicks fan or just a normal idiot

 

Somebody will take Anderson, they will just either want value for taking on his salary or send out long-term salary of their own (which NYK may not want, either). The fact of the matter, though, is that Carmelo Anthony isn't much of a trade asset and his own contract isn't very good. Besides, the Knicks have no use for him themselves.

The Knicks don't want him back for any reason other than holding him hostage while hoping that some miracle happens to give them a better return on the trade, which most likely won't happen.

 

C: Both

 

Yes. That was pure poetry

 

It is just the matter of waiting game. lets see who wins

 

They probably just forgot to add porzingis to that tweet

 

Someone on Reddit got this today, 5th of August(8) 17, Ryno's number is 33
