B Knight PG
A Goodwin SG
Tyson Chandler C
PJ Tucker SF
Melo PF

That looks like the same as NY.

Yeah, that's not a playoffs team out West. And despite Tyson supposedly recruiting Melo to the Mavs, I have a hard time believing Tyson and Melo like each other at this point.

Maybe it is the same but I'd try to sell him that it's better.
We need to try to find a team to take him NOW....like Denver stuck us 5 years ago.....
while his perceived value is still high around the league.

I don't think it's that high around the league right now.

And most of us were shocked when we were able to turn Hardaway into Grant.
You don't know until you try...........the time to start kicking tires on Melo is NOW.

Boston is an intriguing option who we all know has assets galore
in terms of young players and picks. Heck, they were offering a boatload
of picks and players just to trade into the top of the draft.
I think that they were targeting WCS, but maybe it was Winslow.
I think that Danny Ainge (one of the best GMs around) accumulated the picks with
the intention of moving up/trading, but it didn't work out.

One player I'd want in any discussion with the Celtics is IT4. He's a tremendous penetrator,
disher, and three point shooter. I also am very high on Crowder, but he's a fan favorite
and it's unlikely that we could pry him away....but maybe for Melo.
They need a scorer. I'd stay away from Sullinger. I don't want KO, either.

At the end of the day, I'd figure that Boston is a team on the rise while Phoenix is going in the opposite direction. So, I'd try to deal with the Suns with the hope that their draft pick would be more valuable (although Boston could potentially have AT LEAST two lottery picks next year).

But, no matter how we do it, we must get the ball rolling and see what offers are out there
for our selfish, snarly faced, egotistical, me first, team killing, maxed out plus piece of human waste.

How about this

Carmelo Anthony to Boston
Isiah Thomas + Danilo Gallinari to NY with Brooklyn's 2016
David Lee Cleanthony Early to Denver with Brookyln 2018 pick

Not bad, Briggs.
David Lee can't be traded for a few months, right?

I think that we might be able to get more from Boston straight up.
How about Melo to Celts for IT4, James Young, Tyler Zeller and Dallas 2016 pick?
