WHY ON EARTH would the Knicks take on Love's contract?

[Knicksfever2010]

Melo has less years than Love and is a better player. Unless the Knicks are getting the #1 draft pick (overall), it makes ZERO sense.

no ****ing way... melo for blake straight up

Love would go to the Celtics- Knicks at a minimum would get this year's Brooklyn pick. Knicks don't have a 1st round pick this year at the moment. Rumor was that the Cs engaged Cleveland, but the Cavs didn't like the proposed return, and thus roped in NYK.

So the Cavs get Melo, the Celts get Love and the Knicks get Brooklyns draft pick?

I think Mozgov and someone else would go to the Knicks

youd have to have naked pics of phil jackson boning another dude for this rumor to pick up steam

I think I like Love on here more than most, but why would the Celtics giveaway that pick+ for him? Unless they genuinely think Love is the piece that puts them in the conversation with GS... Spurs, OKC, and Cleveland. I don't see it. Would rather take my chance on the high draft pick and not mortgage the future on a guy already proven he's not a franchise player.

Melo is old and done. Love is 26 and his deal is GREAT. Some of you have no clue about the $$$.
