Losing Melton could be bad though. 1st round talent at a 2nd round price.

Ya I don't really get this part. Knight has never really been good.

Wow and Chriss is just chopped liver? Don't even with that bull***** Chriss is way more of a talent. This is highway robbery to the max for Morey.

A&M win + new Eminem album + Anderson traded = a pretty damn good Thursday night

Wtf relax man, how about some reading comprehension?

I said, "Ya I don't really get THIS PART." I already said I liked the trade. Stop looking for a reason to hate me all the time.

Been watching some tape on Chriss this morning. Very athletic. Jumps out of the gym. Going to be a great lob option for Paul and Harden. For a 6'10" big man 31% from three isn't too shabby.

Mayor Turner should declare Aug 31st as an official Houston City holiday of "No more Ryan Anderson Contract Day"

I wonder if both/either of these two guys will be on the roster come the start of the season. It just feels like this was the first move in a set of trades.

I've been watching video of Chriss as well. Really feel like being on a team with some real coaching will help him a ton.

He is also only 21 yrs old, so its no tl ike he is a seasoned vet with the numbers he has...

I don't pretend to know what Morey is thinking, but Anderson was deadweight at this point. Anybody paying attention knew his confidence was shot and he was no longer happy with his role on this team. Melton was a nice young prospect but an unknown. To flip Melton and Anderson for Knight and Chriss on its face is just hella-beautiful GM'ing by Morey.

If we kept Chriss I could easily see him being a backup to Capela. Let Dantoni work on him a bit.

And Chriss is more than serviceable with a big upside.

Great trade, looking forward to where Knight goes and who we get in return.

Knight + 1st rounder + cash to Minnesota for 1 year of Jimmy Butler. Then hopefully resign him. Come home Jimmy!!

By the way, I know nothing of salary cap implications. Just a dream.

Interesting.

So does that mean Ryan can still MAKE 20 mil but is only guaranteed 15.6? Or did Ryan basically give up 4.4 mil to be a starter?

That is not good news, especially a month before the season starts. Wonder who we could get as a replacement at this point.

Worst news of a pretty bad off-season

I was really hoping Bzdelik would be able to turn Melo into a slight negative on defense instead of a gargantuan liability.

The timing is odd. I don't think it is a case of not wanting another tour of duty with Carmelo.

He seemed to be the top of guy that would stick around until he was in his 70s (Vice Sports article on him).

Hope it isn't a health issue. After he was fired from coaching the Nuggets, he took the Air Force job to stay in Colorado because his daughter had a brain tumor. She had recovered, but hopefully there isn't something else.

Edit: Not health related per ESPN

The Athletic is reporting that Jimmy Butler is requesting a trade out of Minnesota. Would we want him?

EDIT: Woj is reporting that his short list of teams is Nets, Knicks, and Clippers

Looks like he wants to go to the Nets, Clippers, or Knicks.
