There is ZERO way Houston makes that trade. Lol

Exactly, but it would be a great turn of events if we could somehow land Westbrook AND CP3. Lol. Now there's a short-term, starphucque deluxe backcourt!
Why settle for only one undesirable contract, when you could get TWO UNDESIRABLE CONTRACTS!!!

Then we'd also have the guy they traded to get WB!!!

And of course Melo is always linked with CP3 because they said it so 10 years ago! It also brings “Jake, From State Farm””
“We need shooters” fans will cry! WE can make that looong rumored trade for Luke Kennard and perhaps if we throw in DSJ they will give us Griffith. We must give them Randle though!!!

CP3
Westbrook
Griffith
Mitch
Frank

Bench?

Melo
Knox
ObiHaliHayes
Dotson

why frank? To piss off 1248 of course.
Melo off the bench? Makes Jrod both a happy and pissed off at the same time. Happy he is a knick, mad cuz he off the bench. Melo and CP3 doing State Farm commercials. Its gonna be great!!

The only thing that pisses me off is losing, if we are winning, who the fck cares who's on the roster, I care about results.

I don't care if the entire roster is gone, or if they stay, I care about results.

Would you trade in one winning year we finish 4th seed, then lose in the 2nd round if you knew the next 6 years would not succeed?

first of all, name the teams that's been the same after 6 yrs....those days are over with

Every team has a 3 yr window.

you take the winning yr and build on it

Phil jackson decided to blow it up because he didn't have triangle players.

Who the hell would trade expiring contacts of valuable role players for 2nd round picks and lance thomas.

Nalod isn't really that good, is he? You need to follow the thought in the thread you're responding to.
We're already burning DSJ and Randle to get Westbrook.

Maybe we trade Frank and Dot and Knox to land Kennard and Griffin and get back even more 1st round draft picks to absorb Griffin's contract! Blake's making damn near 40 mill a year for the next two seasons!!! (why would we want Andy Griffith, Nalod? His dopey azz has been dead for years)

Why trade Frank and Dot and Knox? To make 1248 happy of course and to piss off Nalod and send him over to the Barklays permanently. UltimateNets.com lives!

Now Melo can start next to Griffin, with Mitch in the middle and our insanely overpriced backcourt!!!

CP3
Westbrook
Melo
Griffin
Mitch

Bench:
Who Gives a Fuck

Melo making Kia commercials! Blake's new "Griffin Force" side kick!
Melo making Red Bull commercials! Mr. Red Bull-y Ball!

You get in suck a tizz when it comes to melo. That team won’t fit under any cap and reeked with sarcasm.

No kidding about the cap. Gee tizz, and I really thought we could pull that all off.

Phil got a ton of flak for trying to do an actual rebuild. He got the Celtics to offer Jaylon Brown and multiple first round picks for Porzingis and people were screaming about how stupid he was

Smith was serviceable for the Cavs. Shumpert was exactly what he was here a scrub who played average D and couldn’t put the ball in the ocean on offense

Smith is the bonehead of boneheads. He was a sorry example as a professional on the Knicks. Fortunate can favor drunkards and fools, and in his case both simultaneously by landing him in the one place his talent could contribute in spite of himself. Shumpert was merely a disappointment, more so as a player than as a rapper.

As discussed elsewhere we are at a crossroads where we can build from a firm foundation or trade our future for a Westbrook, a Harden, even a CP3. To appease the mob so they can continue to rip and clown when it fails again.

Slow down a bit. The conversation surrounding acquiring any of these and other players is qualified by the following considerations:

Its going to be a shortened season.

There aren't that many obvious ways to invest cap space in the next two years that are better (at the moment) options.

A winning veteran player, in a shortened season, are less likely to get hurt AND may add enough game stability to actually qualify for post-season play.

Thibs will want to have a roster that *can* win games.

Mobs form when:

We acquire any asset that is risky (such as those we're talking about) AND we give up way too many assets to justify that risk.

The player(s) arrive and decide to float downstream.

-------------------------------------------

I think what some of us are advocating quite independent of each other is that (for the first time in a long time) we leverage our unique cap space position to, in fact, take a risk with the EXPLICIT qualification that we are compensated for taking the risk.

I think a consensus fear is that the Knicks (and there's a sad history) will assume a risky transaction, pay double for it, and, upon arrival, find out that its damaged or compromised goods. We're all too familiar with the Trifecta.

That said, fingers crossed, it is time to assume some risk.
