I don't know why but I think the cavs are trying to squeeze baker in the deal as a back up pg they've been missing since dilly. Hence why we have been looking into signing jack .

With wade at shooting guard what does melo bring to the table
at PF superior to love?

Rebounding?

3pt shooting?

Defense?

Size?

Are the cavs better served with thomas, wade and James by a better isolation mid rage scorer?

Real question is who dose lebron prefer, he's running the show, love is good but his numbers are blown up from lebron. Melo is the superior talent on offense,regardless of what statistical bs there is. If you watched the chip this year the cavs were missing a melo one that could create his own shots plus lebron,melo,wade are banana boat brothers they've probably talked about playing together for quite some time.

Between Thompson,lebron,melo,wade I don't see rebounding being a issue

With Thomas and melo,Korver,jr I don't see three point shooting being a issue.

Melo is a bad defensive 3 but he actually is a pretty darn good defensive 4 and you better believe LBJ holds melo accountable on defense.

If you think lebron wants to play with love over melo your crazy. I just don't see any connection with love and LBJ as a matter of fact I believe they don't get along . Lebron knows he will make melo the best player melo can be.

THE REAL QUESTION IS WOULD WE WANNA TAKE ON LOVE who has a AWEFUL CONTRACT and is injury prone . what kinda player would we really be getting in return since his numbers are made easy by playing alongside lebron. I know he's a rebounding machine but he's not going to get half the open looks and easy shots he got playing alongside LBJ.

Also, Love has chronic back issues.

The hope would be we could then move Love to another team for something better than what we can get for Melo (because Love doesn't have a no trade clause).

Do people understand that Melo and LBJ are good friends? Why do you think Melo has ruled out the Cavs? Melo is not going to the Cavs to then have to worry about being on a ****ty team rebuilding, once again, in just one year. Hate to tell everyone but he is going to Houston. And we are taking on Anderson.

If that happens, then it was never about business, it was all personal. Mills would have officially sabotage the future.

1 extra season of Ryan Anderson sabotages our future? Seriously?

But why take it on at all when it isn't necessary?

You don't need Ryan Anderson for zero years of melo. He's completely superfluous at a cost of $22m in 2019-20.

Don't like Mills. Think he is an Ivy League ass kisser. Corporate spider. That said. He has a vision (Stolen from Phil) of the team being young and more team oriented. All wearing tight shorts, two hand chest passing team players running a system developed in the 30's. That said, he is in charge and has the right to build his vision the way he (Phil) sees fit. But seriously... donr have a problem with a guy in charge doing things his way. Dolan put him in charge. Got to give him a chance. Just don't think the NBA will ever have 5 guys with average talent playing good ole team ball that will win a chip.

"stole from Phil?"
What about "Continued a turn around"? Isn't that what we all want, Continued culture?

What was he like before Phil? Committed to a youth movement? And its not a put down to say someone has learned from.past experiences. Btw, It's only a turn around if it succeeds. Yes, the young movement is the only way to go when things have gone to ****. But we did that before when we had Gallo, Chandler and others. That did not make us a compettve playoff team. And yes, I don't like sleazy Ivy league ass kissers. (Which he is) His biggest asset with Dolan. While goinf young and resetting is only choice, I just don't have any faith in his ability to lead a "Turn Around" As he has too much of that Dolan slime still all over him. Guys like that never get any true respect.

I think the overall vision is clearer now. Phil did serve a purpose in helping Mills to see how he wants the team to be built. He's taken some of what Phil showed him and added some tweaks to that vision. Mills is obviously not as rigid in his thinking and that flexibility is already showing in how he's handling things. I would expect less drama and a more smooth operating Front Office from here on.

Man, we've gone through this. Anderson is good. It depends on what else Houston throws in.

Read mills blog post. Read everything he's said the last few months.

The Knicks are rebuilding. THEY know they aren't a playoff team, some fans just don't realize it.

Annnnd... they haven't made the trade.

The Knicks don't want Anderson, because the Knicks know they are rebuilding and can't use Anderson. That's why the Knicks don't have Anderson.

That's about as straight a line as you can draw.

I didn't say they wanted Anderson. It's clear they don't. It does not appear that they want anything they can for Melo or want Melo back.

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need

Forgot about that. That's right, they do have a history. Im good either way on Melo being traded in the offseason. Just no panic moves Perry.....please!

Makes me wonder what the Knicks would get, and how long their deals run?

From Yahoo...

Carmelo Anthony trade talks between the Rockets and Knicks are still going nowhere.

But with Anthony’s welcome worn out in New York, the teams keep searching for a third to facilitate a deal – like the Bucks, who have Jabari Parker.

Ian Begley of ESPN:

The Knicks have told people around the league recently that Houston simply doesn’t have anything that appeals to them.
The Milwaukee Bucks emerged as a potential third team at one point, per league sources, but there was no traction toward a deal.
One name that came up in those (very) preliminary talks? Bucks forward Jabari Parker, per league sources.
Maybe, after two ACL injuries, Parker’s value has fallen enough that he could be included in an Anthony trade. But Parker is just entering the fourth year of his rookie-scale contract, and he’s in line to become a restricted free agent next summer. Milwaukee can be patient with him.

Houston probably must trade Ryan Anderson to send out enough salary to get Anthony, and nobody wants Anderson. Some vague ideas of Parker might interest New York, but what gets the Bucks on board?

Anthony will likely begin the season with the Knicks, and it seems he’s preparing himself accordingly.

Bucks getting Anderson to replace a bad contract in Henson and the injury risk in Parker.

Houston gets Melo

The end
