Do they think Melo is an idiot?

1. They're even further over the cap than we are, so how would that money situation work out at all?

2. Whatever they would have to give up would make them a terrible defensive team with no bench.

1. They have more young assets than Houston, which is what the Knicks want.

2. No clue, play with Trade Machine. Zach Collins, Amineu, and Harkless is about 1mm from being enough.

Then Melo has to waive his no-trade clause.

They need to adjust the font on the front of the jersey if they are going to eliminate the swoops that came down from the shoulders. It's too small.

No clutch city jerseys this year. I've seen the Nike jerseys for this season and they are not too different from what we wore this past year. No grey ones this year, however.

So Kyrie wants out of Cleveland. No way Batman stays without his Robin.

Soo....

ESPN trying to float the Spurs as the favorites for Kyrie. Never mind the fact that
A. Kyrie has zero leverage in this situation
B. SA has nothing to trade for Kyrie

One of the teams Kyrie requested was the Knicks. I think they'd rather get Irving than ship Melo to the Rox for peanuts.

This may tank Melo to H town.

From the Knicks perspective it makes sense. What are the Cavs going to do with Love, Anthony and Lebron though? Would seem weird to have a big 3 to be a SF/PF, another SF/PF and a PF.

He's saying NY should want to keep Melo to team up with Kyrie.

I don't see him getting traded. He has absolutely zero leverage. And in 2 years when his contract is ip LeBron will have been gone for a year. He can be the center of attention again and get the giant extension
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

His leverage is being able to completely sidetrack the franchise, be a circus, then leave the knicks with nothing.

At a certain point, the money is negligible for a competitor. You just want to win. If I told you tomorrow that I'd increase your net worth by 30% guaranteed but you have to continue to work for a ****ty company and your next job would probably also be with a shifty company. Companies that make it awful to even wake up and go to work. Well, you could be seeing his situation. People don't naturally think of things in a $$ value but rather in how much better off they'll be (%).

The franchise is already a circus at this point And will be next summer as well. Kyries focus isn't winning, it's being the focal point. Brian Windhorst said as much as

Cleveland has been to 3 straight finals and would be throwing any chance at keeping LeBron if they jeopardize that streak. Kyrie might get traded if LeBron leaves but don't think it'll happen this off-season.

Kyrie apparently wants to go to NY and melo wants either us or Cleveland. Could result in a melo-for-Kyrie swap.

I think Kyrie sees the writing on the wall of Lebron leaving and knows Dan Gilbert runs a gong show of a franchise and just sees this as the time to leave and those 4 destinations as all realistic places where he could go and be on a competitive team for a long time.

They're not just gonna waste another great year from lebron. They have to get him more talent regardless of the fit. Plus he and melo know each other.

Obviously they know each other. Point it another year with kyrie is a much better opportunity for LeBron vs having Melo and no PG at all

Yeah I agree with that so they may need to move lebron to full time point guard. Hopefully they trade Kyrie anywhere but ny and SA. Would give us complete control over the melo situation.

I meant the Knicks would try Melo for Kyrie. I don't know that the Cavs would take that deal though.

This is pretty much a wasted year for Lebron with Kyrie being like this. The only way I could see it working out is if maybe Boston would trade IT.

Melo doesn't have to stay in Cleveland though after this season. He has a player option for the second year so he can still follow bron. Happy that he still wants Houston though.
