    Just for fun at this point but, assuming those two teams willing to take back Ryan are out of this pack (Detroit, Utah, Portland, Memphis), what would they send to the Knicks in terms of player/s?

    Detroit: Harris (with maybe Ish Smith) or Reggie Jackson? I think Detroit would trade Jackson for Ryan, but for Harris AND Ish...not sure. And yeah, i think the Knicks would've done this already if they were getting back Harris and Smith tbh...

    Utah: Favors + Burks? Not really sure of what's the value of Favors today, but it may be lower than we think imo.

    Portland: same names basically, Harkless + Davis or Leonard.

    Memphis: Parsons lol...jokes aside, i'm not sure how they can make this happen unless they can sign & trade Green to NY, and i don't even know if NY has interest in him...

    What is the purpose of Portland waiving him? Do you think it is related to Carmelo Anthony rumor?

    No, probably not. Just saving some money. Tomorrow was the deadline to waive him.

    http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...ed-forward-andrew-nicholson-sources-told-espn

    The Portland Trail Blazers have waived forward Andrew Nicholson, using the stretch provision to spread out the salary cap hit on the remainder of his contract, league sources told ESPN.

    The stretch provision saves the Blazers approximately $5.6 million in luxury tax this year.

    The Blazers acquired Nicholson in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets for guard Allen Crabbe on July 25.    ​

    Portland watched Nicholson play in FIBA for Canada....and realized he sucks even more than they thought.

    Mario is the same dude that has said that Isaiah Thomas is not a starting caliber player and that Capela is expendable because he can be replaced by Bogut

    Ariza is overrated if u consider him to be anything more than a valuable role player...nobody does tho

    Pretty good synopsis and I would think accurate (except I think the 4th team might be Charlotte not Memphis)
    So I am guessing the two teams are / were Utah & Portland that @ch44 mentioned because if it was Detroit I think a deal would have been done and NYK would not have signed Mike Beasley.
    Portland not as stuck on stoopid as they look, but had to make a play for Melo.
    I am guessing Utah is offering Favors (backup Porzingas and play some 5) and offering Burks whereas NYK want Joe Johnson so they can buy him out (at $8M or so) or flip him for a pick.
    Anyway... thanks @Vivi ! Well stated

    Maybe you're right, maybe you're not. The Rockets need depth and Ariza helps with that. TA is capable of making those two or three big plays a game that you need in order to make a deep run in the playoffs.

    I want to add Melo to this team, but not by subtracting important pieces.

    If they indeed do want Ariza, that was my first thought. Helps their team while he's there and would be a valuable asset to contenders at the deadline.
