Knicks trying to acquire OJ Mayo to send to Denver in Melo Trade..
Chris_Broussard Knicks have reached out to Memphis about sending OJ Mayo to DEN in 3-team deal that would send Carmelo Anthony to New York, sources say.
That's all it says. It's funny, i let myself get talked into the fact Melo would sign off in Jersey (and i think he would) and yet it's really circling around again this may not be the case....

Re: Knicks trying to acquire OJ Mayo to send to Denver in Melo Trade..
I could see Memphis liking Douglas, but it would prob require something else... I would also think Memphis would insist on including Fields, but then NY/Denver would balk
And niko I agree with you, I got all caught up in the BS that these writers spew out that I didn't even realize that personally I think Melo wouldn't sign with NJ.

Re: Knicks trying to acquire OJ Mayo to send to Denver in Melo Trade..
what the hell would we do with Mayo? we already have JR and Afflalo. I think getting Favors and Harris + some 1sts would be much better

Supposably (don't ask me why with how he has played) denver likes OJ better than Gallo or Chandler, so maybe one of them. Or Randolph and another asset. His trade value is not super high right now.

If you start seeing the Knicks get involved to any degree (and i don't know if they are at all) then i'd have to believe there is some truth to the fact Melo doesn't want to sign off in NJ.

I'm not doubting you, but I find it hard to believe that Denver would want a small SG that much unless they plan on trading JR... With Lawson, Billups, JR, Afflalo and even Forbes there wouldn't be much time for OJ... Although I get the feeling that Karl wouldn't mind play Afflalo, JR and Forbes at SF (he always plays 3 guard line ups!!! he's even played a 3 PG line up with CB at SF!!!)...
Don't get me wrong, I think OJ in the right position would flourish as a young piece, I just don't think that place would be Denver unless they follow with another move...
Also, I think one point that hasn't been mentioned a lot is that even though Al has played well so far, he's almost a must in any Carmelo deal just b/c his contract doesn't fit a rebuilding team... so I think if NY could get OJ to Denver, take Al's contract, and get a pick for Randolph, then the Nuggets would listen (unless Kroenke is hellbent on blocking Melo to NY)

Any report on this statement. Maybe they see what I see and all the great OJ Mayo fans out there see. Maybe they will run plays for him? use him as a combo guard ? allow him to run an offense from time to time? run him in a pick and roll situation? Make him the feature, if not " the main guy" in their offense?
call me crazy, but if they like him better than those two, maybe just maybe that's what they are planning to do.
With that being said, I am not getting any hopes up. I got my hopes up with that last big trade rumor and nothing happened, so i'll just wait and see how this progresses in the next few days.

Obviously Nuggets won't just be getting OJ Mayo for nothing ( although with Grizz FO, I am not too confident with that statement).
A lot of pieces will probably be moved also probably JR Smith other players also. Chauncey Billups and OJ Mayo backcourt is a very nice sounded backcourt. Mayo has worked with Billups in the offseason in the past in Chicago at A.T.T.A.C.K complex

doesn't sound like Karl... as much as I like him, he has no offensive playbook... all of the scoring depends on isos and fastbreaks...
but OJ would probably strive in iso plays and alongside Lawson and Afflalo...

How did Karl use Gary Payton in the Sonic Days ? Mayo is similar in size and built. Maybe he could try that.
Mayo is at his best in pick and roll situations and running the fast break, he has some speed in the open court.
He isn't as good of an iso player as fans seem to think. His first step has improved a lot ( still not elite or close to elite ) , so has his ball handling, but his inability to blow past his guy is the reason he takes a lot of jumpers off an isolation. He is slashing a lot better though
He is at his best when he is in the pick and roll and the defense has to make a decision because he can drive it, shoot it, or pass it. triple threat.

Pretty sure the ball would work better in Lawson's hands. But running with the rest of the Nuggets would be nice. He'd flourish.

Re: Knicks trying to acquire OJ Mayo to send to Denver in Melo Trade..
Here's a trade idea:
[url]http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=4zwqprs[/url]
include the Knicks 2014 pick and another pick from Randolph to go to Denver.
I see the major problem being that it leaves Denver with A LOT of guards/wings that deserve minutes with Billups, Lawson, JR, Afflalo, Mayo, Gallo and arguably Forbes. I guess Karl would play a lot of small ball with JR and Arron playing a lot of SF with Gallo playing some PF.
This trade actually works IMO, it saves Denver $3 mil this year and a lot of long term money by dumping Al Harrington, they also get a good pair of young guys in OJ and Gallo and 2 firsts. Probably the best package they can get involving NY.
NY obviously likes it cuz they get Melo, but they also get to keep Fields and Turiaf to put next to him (with Amare and Felton of course). They might not like getting Al back, but it's a price to pay and he'd be a great sixth man for them.
Memphis gets a pretty good deal because I think Chandler would be a great fit considering his defensive skill and versatility, and they'd be able to play a lot of tall ball with Wilson at SG and he can give Rudy and Zach breathers. Walker and Douglas would help fortify their bench too.
Another trade I thought of is kind of big (but still not as big as some of the rumors) involves Memphis, Denver, NY and Dallas.
[url]http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=4bkqztk[/url]
Pretty much the same as above except it adds JR Smith and Roger Mason going to Dallas, Turiaf to Denver and Haywood headed to NY.
While this a lot of $ for NY to commit to, it gives them the perfect big next to Melo and Amar'e.
Denver clears the wing jam, gets a decent back up big in Ronny and saves a lil more money.

Re: Knicks trying to acquire OJ Mayo to send to Denver in Melo Trade..
[QUOTE=knickscity]Here we go again.....[/QUOTE]
Seriously. This isn't even serious. I honestly have a feeling Denver doesn't really want to deal with NY for some reason. Clearly Melo's favorite. Look at how close things have came with NJ. All you hear about NY is how it's Melo's favorite choice, Amare wants him etc. Never really hear anything about them and Denver getting close on anything.
Whatever. It's got to the point where Melo just flat out isn't good enough for this hype. It's reached it's limit for me. I thank Melo for 7 post seasons, witch he choked in about 90% of them. Hopefully a deal get's struck up soon cause really starting to dislike watching him with the Nuggets. Still believe he's a top 10 guy but with the youth movement looking like it is doubt he maintains that spot for much longer. Besides his rebounding he's been pretty awful this year.

Re: Knicks trying to acquire OJ Mayo to send to Denver in Melo Trade..
[QUOTE]
The New York Knicks have reached out to Memphis about participating in a three-team deal that would send Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo to Denver and Carmelo Anthony to New York, according to league sources.
Talks are in the infant stages and nothing is imminent, but the discussions are a sign of the Knicks' increased aggressiveness in trying to trade for Anthony.
Emboldened by their belief that Anthony will refuse to sign a three-year, $65 million contract extension with the New Jersey Nets, the Knicks have stepped up their efforts to bring the Nuggets star to New York.
The Knicks have tried to engage Denver in trade talks all season, but the Nuggets, unmoved by the players New York has to offer, have been unwilling to partake in significant discussions. Sources, however, say that is changing as the Nuggets themselves wonder whether Anthony is willing to go to New Jersey.
The Knicks understand they need to recruit another trade partner or two in order to put together a package Denver would be interested in, and that's their motivation for inquiring about Mayo. It is not clear at this point whether Denver is actively involved in the talks with Memphis.
Mayo, who has had a disappointing and controversial season in Memphis, is on the trading block, and the Knicks' hope is that he would satisfy Denver's desire for a promising young prospect. Though the third-year guard is coming off the bench and scoring less than 13 points a game this season, Mayo averaged 18 points over his first two years.
Rumors surfaced last month about Mayo possibly being traded to the Knicks, but the Knicks' only interest in him is to aid them in acquiring Anthony.
The Knicks will also need at least one first-round draft pick to grab Denver's attention, and New York is confident it can get such a pick for Anthony Randolph from one of several clubs. Sources say Indiana was willing to trade a first-round pick to New York for Randolph last summer.
Any Knicks package for Anthony would also likely include some combination of Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari or Landry Fields.
While the Nuggets weren't impressed with those names early in the season, their strong play during the Knicks' resurgence has upped their value, according to sources.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets continue to discuss a possible three-team deal with the Nets and Pistons. In a deal that could include more than 13 players, the Nets would receive Anthony, Chauncey Billups and Detroit's Richard Hamilton while Denver would get Nets rookie Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two first-round draft picks and several other minor players.
But even if the clubs agree to a deal, Anthony could kill it by refusing to sign an extension to play long-term in New Jersey. Several sources say Anthony does not want to play in New Jersey and has thus far given no indication that he would sign such an extension.
Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, has been pushing for a deal with New Jersey and, in an effort to get the star to sign off on the trade, several people have been telling Anthony that New York doesn't want to break up its current team to get him, according to sources.
Sources say that's why Anthony made the curious comment on Monday in which he wondered whether the Knicks even wanted him.
"New York is playing well right now. I don't think they're looking at me," Anthony said. "They wouldn't want me to come in there and mess what they have up. That's what I've read."
But the Knicks are very interested in Anthony. The club's preference would be to sign him as a free agent next summer and thereby keep their current roster intact.
But in that scenario, Anthony would not receive the $65 million extension and with a new collective bargaining agreement on the horizon, he would risk losing millions of dollars by entering free agency.
If Anthony eventually nixes a move to New Jersey and tells Denver he will only sign an extension with New York, the Nuggets would likely either trade him to the Knicks or a club like Houston that would be willing to trade for him without his signing an extension.

Denver and NJ had a 4 team deal ready to go before the season started(right before media day) that Denver pulled out of. Than sources were talking about how Den\NJ\Det had a deal lined up. Wasn't it reported that a GM was upset that the players played that day? Cause they assumed it was going through?.
NJ isn't "BS" .. Ya maybe Melo don't want to sign off. Maybe he want's the extension more than anything just not with Denver, who really knows?. One thing's for sure. The stuff with NJ has been pretty legit.

For some reason i feel like if Al came back he'd play 27,000 times harder just because everyone else does this year. He seems like that kind of guy that's not self motivating but feeds off others. It had to be unmotivating for him to be playing for a team that couldn't wait to let him go.

Location seems to be Melo's big interest. NY area. He wants the extension. He's came out HIMSELF and said he's signing that extension. It's obvious with the risk of the CBA changing etc. If Denver says I'd rather you walk than trade with NY than Melo might cave.
Pretty sure his agent is pushing for NJ too now, no?. NJ is still a very strong option, stronger than ever IMO.
Tough luck. Should have rode the coatails of a player more interested in winning :oldlol:

Well I didn't watch him much for NY for the last 2 years, but in Denver he tries like crazy. He actually competes for rebounds and has some good defensive game (and one monster defensive game against Dallas). He stills jacks up a lot of shots and has a bad handle, but I'd def say his goods outweigh the bads.

I'm just saying, personally, I can't see Melo agreeing to NJ. the only reason his agent is pushing for NJ is cuz he told Melo he'd get him NY and he'd get the commission rate of Melo's extension (i.e. the more Melo gets, the more Rose gets).
Also you can't say NJ is like NY, that's like saying a player would go to the Clippers b/c they're in LA like the Lakers.

I really can't see us taking back Harrington's contract. He does nothing to help this team.
I can't help but get the feeling nothing is going to happen before the deadline. The reason I say that, Randolph has always been mentioned as a trade piece, wouldn't it make sense to give him some minutes to impress potential trade partners?

Here's my 2 cents. It's not even that big, but might make all teams happy.
Added to these players, the Nuggets would receive the Pacers and Knicks first round picks.
Why would they do it?
[U]Knicks:[/U]
Melo. Simple as that really. Also, they get to hang on to both Douglas and Fields.
[U]Grizzlies:[/U]
Gallinari would fit right in as OJ's replacement. He has great shooting ability, can stretch the floor, can rebound too. Great backup for Gay, but could play PF too to change things around. Should the Grizzlies want something additional to make this happen, it could be a 2nd rounder or Balkman. A cheap roster addition.
[U]Nuggets:[/U]
The Nuggets would receive both Mayo and Chandler, two great, young players with a lot of potential. They get Curry's expirer, plus 2 first round picks, and a lot of possibilities to change things even further around by trading JR Smith for example.
[U]Pacers:[/U]
Would be getting the talented big man they are looking for without giving up too much.

That's exactly what Denver's thinking. They're calling his bluff. The way I see it Melo's stance right now is NO to NJ. But Denver will try to get NJ to keep the offer on the table until the deadline cause they think Melo's eventually gonna cave at the last moment. But if he doesn't cave, they'll be calling NY for whatever deal they're offering. And if the NY deal is no longer on the table then Denver's screwed.

Re: Knicks trying to acquire OJ Mayo to send to Denver in Melo Trade..
This is just a quick trade I threw together in the trade machine, not really sure if this would be good for all teams, but it works money wise and is at least somewhat intriguing for all parties.
NY gets:
Carmelo Anthony (DEN)
Solomon Jones (IND)
DEN gets:
Danilo Gallinari (NY)
Landry Fields (NY)
OJ Mayo (MEM)
Eddy Curry (NY)
First round pick from NY and IND.
MEM gets:
Toney Douglas (NY)
Arron Afflalo (DEN)
IND gets:
Anthony Randolph (NY)
