Knicks, Rockets working on Carmelo Anthony trade scenarios

Its bad if he gets bought out. It's 2nd worse scenario if you're the Rocket fan wanting to sign the banana boat.

Worst case is Knicks stand pat and dont trade him and he expires.
2nd worse is a buyout because he loses his bird rights and we can't sign him over the cap next season when we attempt the banana boat.
Best case is he comes in a trade and we keep him through bird rights, CP3 and E7mo contract come off the books at the same time, we have bird rights, we sign a whole team then go over the cap to retain them.

Melo is much more valuable that a Wade at this point of their careers so while Wade *might* sign a minimum, there is absolutely no way Melo would do that.

 

maybe, but the situation is still very uncertain there

3 of them will be free agents next summer, and Melo can become a free agent as well. Who knows what can happen. Houston is still a more stable situation with a much better front office.

 

that and also I don't think wade is really a big concern for melo at this moment even if wade does join cavs. melo is seriously focused on rockets

 

Melo would have to opt out and we'd have to renounce his cap hold and lose his Bird Rights if we were attempting to assemble the Banana Boat. So does it matter if he came here via buyout? We'll have to renounce CP3's cap hold as well.

 

Agreed. He doesn't move the needle much. He can still ball but he's not a modern era baller based on skillset. As far as them off the court, aside from Banana boat I am not sure how close they are.

 

So what every year the cavs and warriors just reload? That's getting so old

 

No, the cavs are unloading. Thomas is definitely not as good as Kyrie

 

As long as NY isn't interested in K. Love then this is a win for us.

 

I actually think IT would be a better fit on Cleveland.

he's a better creator for others than Irving is. Would take playmaking duties off of LeBron.

 

Perry needs to quit jackin off and give us melo. Its inevitable.

 

I don't think Thomas is a good passer either he is an undersized 2 guard. Also a lot older than Kyrie

 

I truley believe perry thinks Hoodie Melo is better than lebron

 

got a strong feeling sth is gonna happen on page 600! let's keep it moving!

 

reporting for duty

 

How the hell was Kyrie traded before Melo lol? Hopefully the Knicks stop ****ing around now.

 

Idk how many Celtics games you watched last season, but I just can't get on board with this sentiment.


IT is far superior as a creator.

 

I dont think it really matters they need to get this trade done so we can get melo..

 

Only if Melo wants to be third on Cleveland's SF depth chart.
