[bagelred]

Let me represent all Knicks fans by saying I will pass on all those trade offers. Thanks for trying, though.

[tpols]

Suns and Pelicans.

[ekosky]

suns would do it in a heartbeat. that would be another contender in the west

Isiah Thomas
Goran dragic
Carmelo Anthony
Markieff Morris
Alex Lenn

:eek:

[kells333]

Nuggets: Lawson and McGee

Warriors: Bogut and Iguodala

Pacers: Hibbert and Scola

Wolves: Pekovic and Martin

Jazz: Favors and Booker

Suns: Bledsoe and Tucker

Pelicans: Gordon and Asik

Knicks say no to all these trades except maybe suns

[Akrazotile]

Johns Hopkins Cancer Research Center should trade for him so they can study him more closely.

[livingby3's]

Been saying the Suns should do a Bledsoe plus filler for Melo. Creates balance.

Bledsoe, some young players and picks would be good for both teams.

Warriors: Bogut and Iguodala


Worst trade ever. Would completely ruin the Warriors defense and immaculate ball movement.

Hell, I wouldn't trade Iggy for Melo straight up.

I wouldn't give up too much for Melo. Especially not picks and players like Len or Warren.

[miles berg]

Warriors would never give that up for Melo. It would kill them.

[Patrick Chewing]

Melo would need to play with an elite PG in order to shine.

Who plays center?

[Mr.Kite]

hill and nash

[OmniStrife]

IT & Green for Marshmallow Anthony.

[Jasper]

I always thought Dwight Howard and Melo would be a great combination / but winning a title probably is not realistic.

When Melo becomes a 3rd option , a ring would be possible... probably the same holds true for Howard.

[bluechox2]

this rebuild is for melo..so unless its a great offer...then no

[Akrazotile]

Gotta get all the pieces lined up in the right place to give Melo a shot at making a run to the second round eh?

[Xiao Yao You]

Jazz wouldn't want any part of Carmelo. They are running a system based on passing on defense. How does he fit into that? :facepalm

[kshutts1]

Really need to look at team needs.
IF the Knicks chose to trade Melo, they'd be looking for 3 things...
1) Cap flexibility
2) Young talent
3) Picks

Any team receiving Melo will need to believe that he is the missing championship piece; he's too old to build around.
So realistically, the only teams that should even consider trading for Melo are the top 10-11 teams in the West, plus the Lakers because they're stupid and think they can contend before Kobe retires, and the top 4-6 in the East.
Taking into account team fit and likelihood of taking the chance, I'd say the following teams would consider it quite strongly...

Toronto -- Derozan, Fields, Nogueira and a first
Washington -- Hilario, Porter Jr, Miller, a first and a second
Memphis -- ZBo, Prince, two firsts
Dallas -- Parsons, Ellis, protected first
Houston -- Ariza, Terry, Papa, Montejunias and a first
Clippers -- Redick, Crawford, Hawes, Barnes, CDR and a first
Suns -- Dragic, Tucker, Morris, Morris
Nuggets -- McGee, Hickson, Chandler, two firsts

Looking at all this, I can really only see Toronto doing that.

[Levity]

maybe im focusing on the wrong things, but do people on here really think bledsoe is better than lawson?

Don't worry, Bogut is not playing in the playoffs and OKC is knocking them out in the 1st round in 6 games :roll:

As a Knicks fan I want to start from scratch. I will take the Suns and Jazz offers, without knowing their contracts.

[hawkfan]

If any team would trade for him in the off-season, it would be the Lakers.

[GimmeThat]

principle deals in reality might just not mean much

just as much as how players could be offer the exact same contract from different teams, and yet, still choose one over another.

[el gringos]

Carmelo definitely needs to figure a way out.


Hill, Nash, Lin, randle, 2 2nds
For
Carmelo and Bargnani

[Rameek]

I think Phil will take Goran, Len, Marcus... At the end of the day it will always start with Goran though.

Please ignore Gringos he is the village idiot.

end thread.

[smoovegittar]

Melo has the power to veto. Gonna have to wait -

[3peated]

Nuggets: Lawson and McGee

Warriors: Bogut and Iguodala

Pacers: Hibbert and Scola

Wolves: Pekovic and Martin

Jazz: Favors and Booker

Suns: Bledsoe and Tucker

Pelicans: Gordon and Asik

Should? none. Some of them might though. I think Pacers would get better since hibbert is a joke most nights. and the suns might actually do better as well.

More and more I think you may be correct on the Goran tip. But certain on your latter statement. :D
