This is the kind of deal Denver was trying to get but didn't when Melo forced his way here. Great combination of young players, expiring contract and a 1st overall pick. If this happens, I will personally thank Melo, but to bad this is a serious long shot. Only Lebron and Melo can get this done, but I think these two want to play together badly and heading back to Cleveland would be a great story for LBJ and the NBA in general

the real "coming home"!!!!

Clev saying it won't use the no. 1 pick or Irving for Love. That's Kyrie's "Uncle Drew" teammate !! Do it for Lebron? MElo won't go to Clev unless Lebron is there, or visa versa.

As most of you say, its a reach and low odds. Isola makes this crap up. Fun to think it thru though!

Ny would get a great return for Melo and the rebuild would have a great kickstart.it's freaking genius, plus that team would win in the East. Why wouldn't they do it?

4M of that is guaranteed. But they really don't need much help to sign two max contracts. Or they can do a S&T and move the players they want to move namely Varajao who's contract was structured this way specifically for a S&T this year, Jack and possibly Waiters. This would also give them room to sign complimentary players. They could keep their pick or trade it for a future pick. Whatever it is they have incentive to do a S&T

ahh so why are they doing this then, it sounds made up.

Yeah most likely it is.

I think he can get slightly higher annual raises from an S & T but I'm not sure.

You are correct sir

This was Last season that the "request" was made.

Is it worth it? Is Lebron that good? Riles does!

If I find the article I'll post it.

An absolute pipe dream. Cavs have tons of cap room and with some easy maneuvering can free up enough to simply sign Melo and Lebron outright. Why would they just gift wrap the #1 pick, one of the top assets in the sport for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

I know the Cavs aren't the model of intelligent management but they'd have to high on LSD to do this.

Well part of the reasoning behind the thought process is that the cavs front office is on a mixture of LSD & Meth

And so is Frankie Ice

Enter at your own risk. Being a Knicks fan can cause brain damage. There is a 99% chance that there is no reason to watch the draft on Thurs, and yet i will watch each pick with the anticipation of a draft day deal. Not ready to admit that my entire Knicks offseason will be spent rooting for some undrafted scrub to bust out in summer league....then to make the roster.....then to watch the games only waiting for garbage time so i can get a 5 min look at him chucking bricks in garbage time and complain that he's not getting enough minutes to develop. Sigh.....

Also trying to endure RonRons rants!
