Will the Knicks be better or worse when Melo returns?

Under the Arenas provision he can only get the MLE in his first year of the contract offer from other teams. As long as the Knicks don't use their MLE on another player they'll be able to keep him. (at least for next year.)

 

wonder if they can Trade Melo for Dwight. Magic cant get anyone back of Melo's caliber in any other trade. Not sure what they would do with Chandler tho or if he would be packaged in that trade for Dwight.
Maybe it would be Melo/Chandler for Dwight/Turkoglu. I dunno if you were a Knicks fan would you do that trade? Chandler has been playing pretty damn awesome and seems to have pretty good chemistry with Lin.

Lin/Shumpert
Landry Fields/Novak/JR Smith
Turkoglu/JR Smith/Novak
Stoudamire/Jefferies
Dwight

Seems like a pretty awesome lineup.
