They have much more to offer than Houston. Abrines is a solid prospect, age 23. Jerami Grant offers a similar skillset to Harkless, and is 23. Improved as a shooter last year. Kanter is necessary to make salaries fit, but he's only 25, can score, and is on a year less than Anderson. Ferguson was this year's 1st round pick. And they have 2020 to offer, just like Houston.

We could do much worse than Kanter, Grant, Abrines, Ferguson, and 2020 first round for Melo.

that would leave the bench thinner than tracing paper, and 3 player taking up 70% of your cap space

This works and gives them 2 vet bench players back -- their playoff rotation won't go far behind 8 players anyway.

Melo/L=Thomas/KOQ

Kanter/Ferguson/Abrines/Grant/McDermott

No need to trade O'Quinn. He should only be moved if needed in a blockbuster deal that lands a great player or PG. We should just keep it simple. Melo for Kanter, Ferguson (absolutely necessary), Grant, 2018 2nd round pick, and a minimum filler to fit contracts. Getting Ferguson makes it worthwhile. He's a rookie with reasonable upside as a 3-and-D wing.

Okay, I'll bite.

Like who?

Thats a good deal if we can forward Kanter for future pick with a 3rd team. But the young wing package we got back would be solid.

Knicks get Kyrie and Fergusson
OKC gets Melo
Cavs get Aldridge and future OKC pick
Spurs get Kanter, Grant and Shump.

I haven't check number but all deals are close.

No way in the world Cleveland bites on Kyrie and Shump for only Aldridge and an OKC pick.

Aldridge is a very good player that LeBron can take to higher level. And Cavs do get a future compensation.

Melo for Kyrie and Fergusson?

He hasn't signed a contract with them yet, he's actually the only 1st round pick that has no signed yet.

They have plenty to ofFer the Knicks

OKC seems like a place where there is more hope for a deal. We could use Kanter with KP Willy and Oquinn for a deep frontline that could withstand injury and cut minutes down for less potential injury scenarios. Or we could move Kanter elsewhere and bring back other goods. Better than Andersen.

If Phoenix like Kanter we could do

Pheonix Kanter

NY Bledsoe

OKC Melo

with spare parts to make the $ work

Ready to sign
