Golden State is supposedly the favorite to get Crawford. Not sure he's more than an end of the bench guy at this point anyways.


Of course they are.

How are they still signing people that can play? They should be trying to get Latrell Sprewell out of retirement just so they can have a full roster

GSW can pretty much cherry pick from the pool of guys willing to play for the exceptions or vet's minimum right now, because they can guarantee a ring better than anyone else in the NBA.

Interesting article on potential Melo destinations and trade options: Link

Obviously the Knicks turned down Anderson + Non Gtds for Melo. I think the Cavs are hoping for a buyout, and that might be the best option for the Rockets too. The only other deal that might make sense was the three team giving up Ariza+Anderson+Non Gtds. Wonder how much longer the Knicks will twiddle their thumbs.

I thought the Knicks and Melo decided to not go through the with buyout/no-trade clause waiving.

Sounds like they don't want to do anything until they have new management in place.

Rumor was that Phil was asking Dolan to approve a buyout of Melo, but he said no. Of course this was probably around the same time that Dolan was getting ready to can him.

I like the idea of a three team trade, but somebody has to be willing to give NY some young players or picks.

So the latest Carmelo rumor:

Melo to Houston
Anderson to Portland
Harkless and Leonard to NY and probably a pick or other trade fodder.

Some dude out in Portland (I think he is there) is tweeting this.

I'm not sure but Harkless and Leonard = 20 mil a year roughly.

FYI this whole rumor is based on a random clutchfans post. Amazing how it's snowballed.

Did anyone get to watch the summer league game? I saw Zhou Zi highlights and he looked good. Much more like a stretch 4 than a post player. Pretty agile and has a clean stroke from 3. Perfect fit for this team.

I didn't watch the whole game but I was impressed by Qi and Pastor Troy Williams. Qi is very athletic for his size and spaces the floor very well. Williams just does a little bit of everything and can shoot.

The Knicks' acquisition of Hardaway Jr., to the staggering deal is expected to trigger a renewed willingness to work with the Houston Rockets on trade scenarios to unload Carmelo Anthony, league sources told ESPN.
The Rockets have been persistent in their pursuit of Anthony, who is willing to waive his no-trade clause to join Chris Paul and James Hardenin Houston, league sources told ESPN.
The Knicks do not imagine a scenario where Hardaway Jr., is sharing the floor with Anthony to start the season, league sources told ESPN.

I would imagine NY has to change their mind about Ryan Anderson or we would have to bring in a 3rd team to get it done.

I'd suspect this if it happens at all.
