Can't say I watched the Lakers' games last season. But his is an efficient vet. Gonna be an old 38. But he still managed 26 mins a game with really good efficiency. I think having him around the clubhouse would be a boon. I understand if he wants to join a contender and make 1 more run for that ring, but I think adding him to Rose and Gibson as the vets around the clubhouse would be amazing. And in any future trades or movements, you know you have a guy that can slot in and be effective at either SF or PF. Cam Reddish loses by this move and I kind of want to give him his shot, but of all people, I think Cam might benefit the most from having Melo in his ear.

What do you guys think?

I look at the 2 & 3 positions together on the Knicks as you have guys who can swing to both positions. You add Anthony as a SF - how are you working him into the rotation, how will he impact the defensive schemes and who's minutes is he taking?

- RJ, Fournier, IQ, Grimes, Cam

My thoughts are that if the Knicks are able to move Randle or Fournier.......then bringing in Carmelo would make more sense to plug in minutes at the 3 or 4.

He was the starter here for so long, might not be easy for him to adjust to a new role, in NY.

Yeah. I feel he'd be a better fit on a team like Clippers or Milwaukee. I would've said Brooklyn, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody now.

could be convinced for Danillo though

He is signing with Celtics.
Melo no.15 will be retired for Jokic who wears it and two time MVP.
Maybe dolan who is not not married wants to date LA LA?

I have no issue with Melo and doubt he’d make any noise as there should be prerequisite role for him and understanding on both sides. That said he should stay in LA and continue with that team.
Given our timeline and roster he’d be a mascot of sorts. If thats all it is and he cool with it, so be it.
team will boo knicks and chant for him to play. I think he should be in the rotation but not here.
If not, maybe time to hang it up?

Obviously a front for covert negotiations and team building.
