Noticed something interesting in an ESPN article. James allegedly said that he was letting mgmt handle trades, and he was hands off, but I saw this..

It’s also particularly noteworthy to learn that James is “eager to see [Irving] off” as this would mean Rose is poised to play major minutes for the Cavaliers. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski adds that Rose was in communication with James before he signed with Cleveland.

Maybe Rose initiated the call. Still interesting that we haven't heard anything from LeBron's camp about any communication with Melo.

Given the latest rumor, you have to conclude LeBron doesn't like honey nut Cheerios

how many pages did we have on the Wroten thread?
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

WOAH!!! Just heard from someone I'm close with that works for a Eastern Conference Central Division team that Melo to Houston would be finalized Friday.

Trades get scooped on clutchfans. But this gut has only been a member there since last Friday so he may just be trolling.

After the Melo rumors started, I learned to just not trust these random internet people. I'll pass.

From an Eric Gordon interview.
Gordon: It feels good knowing that we’ll have another good playmaker and hopefully he’ll make it easier for everyone just like we’re going to make it easier for him.

Ortiz: With the Carmelo Anthony rumors circulating, what addition would he be to the team?

Gordon: We’ll see. You know he has a different style of play. We’ll just see once he finally is on our team.

Ortiz: What’s your expectation for Houston this season?

Gordon: We’re going to be a championship caliber team. We can’t do nothing less than reaching it to the Western Conference Finals. So we just gotta get there and see what happens from there.

So the guy indicated his connection was in Detroit, suggesting perhaps Detroit is involved.

Houston: Melo
NY: Tobias Harris (25 years old), Ish Smith, cap filler from Houston
Detroit: Ryan Anderson, KOQ, cap filler from Houston

Knicks get SF and a backup PG.
Detroit gets a spacer PF next to Drummond, a backup C/PF and rid themselves of an extra PG (Avery, Reggie Jackson, Beno Udrih already on roster).

Maybe add a Houston pick to NY?

Maybe that will be the 30 day mark that a rookie was signed? Someone on here said rookies can be traded 30 days after signing

Realgm says Frank can be traded August 4th.

Honestly after their speach about youth and defense, if they trade Frank who was drafted in part because of his defense potential, the management would like buffoons.
Picks and our young players should be untouchable.

agree... especially with a pick coming back. Ish Smith would be a great fit. Most of the roster are pretty good shooters. A guy that can get us some dribble penetration would be big. That's Smith's MO... he had a very good season last year

I'd be with that as well. Van Gundy wants a stretch 4. He's been trying to get the right one in that spot for some time now. Tobias plays tough. I like the kid
