    Well, the way they bashed Melo last season you'd think he'd be given away for little. But I guess they value him now smh

    I think I'm going to buy a Ryan Anderson jersey just to burn it.

    Houston out: Ryan, Taylor, quarterman, 2-2nds, 3m cash considerations.
    Houston in: Melo

    Houston outlook: gets the third star in melo and stops the multiple threads on Clutchfans.


    New York out: melo
    New York in: Harkless, Devin Harris, quarterman, Taylor, 2-2nds

    New York outlook: move on from melo. Shed around 12m in salary space. Get an expiring veteran PG in Harris for ntlikina that they want.


    Dallas out: Devin Harris
    Dallas in: Evan Turner, Portland 1st, 1.5m cash

    Dallas outlook: they ship an expiring and swallow a contract for an asset to help their rebuild. They seem willing to help us take on gsw.


    Portland out: Turner, Harkless
    Portland in: Ryan, 1.5m cash

    Portland outlook: they get a clear clear upgrade and more balanced roster while shedding 2 bad contracts for 1 bad contract. Also, they shave about 8m off their books and would really help there luxury tax bill.

    That's not entirely true. He's made 3 trades with them, and one even included Tracy McGrady to NYK (albeit, he was old and expiring) that landed Kevin Martin in Houston. That one came out of nowhere too.

    But you do make a great point. The noise is probably coming from the Knicks, especially consideringtheir front office is in flux right now.

    It still is a little alarming to me.

    Jesus that Bill Simmons trade really does make perfect sense

    If the Cavs were willing to trade Love for Melo they'd have him already.

    Problem for the Knicks is exactly that. Cavs and Rockets are trying to stack their teams to beat the Warriors. That means keeping Love, that means keeping Ariza and Gordon.

    "More friends".. whomever else is coming must be close friends with Paul and Anthony.. or maybe he is referencing Kevin Love. In most of his posts recently Codman has expressed his "love" for Clutchfans.

    Yeah, you don't want to get those Greeks mad. They'll cut ya! (Speaking from personal experience, in Crete, watching my friend piss off the wrong person, who broke a bottle and waved the jagged edges at my friend.....don't get them mad!) ;)

    Not necessarily. Carmelo and LeBron are boys. But you'd need more moving parts to keep the whole thing equitable. Seems the Knicks want to go young, not add pieces that will keep them firmly in the middle.

    Love and Porzingis play the same spot, anyway.
