Carmelo Anthony

[godfather]

I'll take him for our scraps and if he comes off the bench, He can be our Iguodala without the passing or the defense or the high basketball IQ

He's not coming off the bench; BUT, you could have him run the bench with another PG off a buyout.

So, say Deron Williams gets a buyout, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Williams/Korver/Smith/Melo/Tristan as a bench unit.

Melo is dishing out 3.1 APG pretty consistently, regardless of who he's playing alongside; for a guy who is known to be a "ball-stopper." He's also shooting a decent.438/.372/.835 with 6 RPG and only 2 TOV. He's putting up 22.7 PPG in 33.6 MPG.

If we're not moving a core piece; essentially one of our main starters; this is a no-brainer.

The only reason we're even talking about this is because Anthony has a no-trade clause.

A guy can still dish out 3.1 APG and be considered a ball-stopper. I have no idea how this lineup is going to play out.. we can only guess but Melo is going to have to play differently than how he has played in NY. Knicks fans can't wait for him to go and it's not because they all want to tank. His game can be very frustrating at times.

I just wanna make something clear...

If we're not moving Love, or Tristan, then who are we giving up that would have greater value/versatility than Carmelo Anthony? We're not really going to complain if we swap Shump/Frye/RJ for Carmelo Anthony are we?

No doubt; but, people are in here acting like Melo is garbage; he's not.

None of us do.

Of course...

Knicks fans can't wait for him to go and it's not because they all want to tank. His game can be very frustrating at times.

Or because they're ready to start a new chapter.

We're not Knicks fans. We've got a limited window and we're going up against what might be the best team in NBA history.

What if it takes a 3rd team, we have to move TT/Shump/RJ and Cedi, and we pick-up Bogut on the buyout market?

 

[KilgoreTrout]

What do we want with another shooter? We need a rim-protector.

Trade Love for Rudy Gobert. Then I'm happy.

Why the hell would we agree to that? I'd like to think we could at least snag a first round pick for Melo.

Why the hell would the Knicks accept that deal from the Cavs? They could do better from the Clippers with a Rivers and Crawford package with picks included.

But...but...the Road Trippin' Podcast with RJ and Channing.

Because Melo says so basically.

I'm hoping Boston makes a move for Melo

 

[NorthCoastBias]

This is such a useless conversation. It's not happening. Next.

Melo has a no-trade clause. I doubt he wants to go to Boston.

L.A.? Possibly........

Not trading Tristan Thompson..

I would if the Golden State team bus fell off a cliff; but... he's literally our 3rd most valuable player behind James/Irving against the Warriors... Trading him and counting on Andrew fucking Bogut would be... worrisome.
