TJ Warren is almost guranteed to be thrown in due to them drafting Jackson and him being a RFA this offseason and the Knicks probably wanting a 23 yr old SF to go with their core. Warren might have been drafted under JHs tenure as well.

Trade #1 Chriss and Warren would be ideal.
Trade #2 Suns take on Noah with Love and give back Knight, Dudley, & Warren. Edit I would ask for a pick back as well.

Would be a dream come true

Denver got better when he left.

We already have KP I think a more feasible deal would be for Chriss to go the Cavs and warren bender and knight to NYK with KOQ and Melo to PHX

You have to take Chriss. He has the most potential out of all the moving parts. He compliments KP & Willy perfectly given his skill set to complete a 3 man rotation at PF/C. As he is more agile and & quick and can be groomed to guard stretch 4s an area KP & Willy struggle with.

Certainly possible. He might also make his new team better if he has the right attitude. It might be a case where both teams win the trade.

Making the playoffs is not a win though. Also, I think the Cavs will try to get a player or pick included with Melo since Love has more value. I think the best the Knicks can do is get one young player and a 2nd rd pick.

I would like Chriss too but I don't think we get him and I would prefer warren to Chriss

If it's making the playoffs with youth, I'm OK with that. You get a lower draft pick but a better shot at FAs

Yes sorry love and KOQ TO phx while chrisss and melo go to Cavs.
Cavs would look like:
Kyrie
Jr
Melo
Lebron
Thompson

PHX would look like:
Bledsoe
Booker
Jackson
Love
Chandler

Knicks would look like:
Frank
THJR
Warren
Bender
KP

All 3 teams make the playoffs, but of course this is probably a pipe dream

I'd be surprised if the Cavs traded Love to take on Melo. Love is the much better and younger player.

Benders main attribute is his defense. He is very quick on his feet and can cover anyone from 2-4. Imagine that with KP on the defensive end who has the potential to do the same.

Respect your opinion but can't agree. Chriss brings more to the table. He is on a rookie contract while Warren will get an increase next off-season. He blks shots, shoots 3s, potential to guard stretch 4s. With growing offensive potential. For Love I think we can ask for both. If Cavs want morw then Melo. Then I would want Chriss and they can take Warren.

I wouldnt touch Knight either unless they are taking Noah off our hands.
