Official 2017 Knicks Offseason thread, Phil Jackson gone

[njavier03]

The Wiz used it on Gil. They were still paying him up until last year.

Frank, KP, and Willy all playing in the eurobasket?

 

[flyeed]

For ****s and giggles...if we're at .500 come the all star break, would y'all trade Noah and our 1st rounder just to get rid of his contract?

Or we for once rebuild normally

With Cavs possibly getting Frank or picks

HELL NO

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Melo said he's not going to the Cavs.

 

[donewithjs]

At this point it's Ryan Anderson holding up the trade lol

 

[lver of jordan]

Yup

 

[edd2187]

Melo said he's not going to the Cavs.

Yup..basically confirming what most of us already knew..Melo only wants to go to Houston

 

[donewithjs]

Houston literally has nothing of value and no one wants Anderson. I just don't see it happening anytime soon.

Houston literally has nothing of value and no one wants Anderson. I just don't see it happening anytime soon.

Then we should just quit the bullcrap and keep melo...let him play and then down the line we'll see if anything other scenarios arise, cuz at this point I feel like the knicks will do what they're SO good at doing and they will make a HORRIBLE trade just to get rid of him

 

[you go boy]

I'm hoping the new GM has some common sense and will not trade melo for Ryan Anderson. Such a bad deal for us it makes more sense to just keep melo

 

[Mister Meaner]

With Cavs possibly getting Frank or picks

Withholding Frank, that doesn't sound like a bad trade for all teams involved. Melo makes it to Houston, so he'd sign off. Cavs get back young talent and a vet. 6ers can continue to trust the process.

But then we'd have 4 (technically if we continue to count Kyrie as one) PGs.

 

[donewithjs]

Someone posted this scenario: Houston gets Melo, Detroit gets Ryan Anderson and KOQ and we get Drummond. And Benches pieces added from Houston and Detroit to complete the trade.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Who's idea was it to give this guy a NTC ?

Trade will be done August 4th or 5th imo. Certain players cant be traded until then.

If that **** is not done by end of this week, then he'll probably be a Knick until the trade deadline.

idk why they would trade drummond but sign me up

 

[donewithjs]

I know they made him and Reggie Jackson available last season around the trade deadline.

idk why they would trade drummond but sign me up

 

[johnnyredstorm]

i can see them doing it because svg is in over his head

 

[100027]

Well Drummond hasn't played up to his contract at all, but yeah that still seems like a good deal considering what else is out there.

 

[njavier03]

Philly isn't gonna trade Okafor for Lee. They JUST paid Reddick 23mil.

 

[nick.]

We're using the little leverage we have.

If Houston really wants Melo then they have to up the offer or find a 3rd team. There's no incentive for us to trade him this week just so he's gone.

 

[floodarea]

If you think about it now, we should have all the leverage

There's pretty much zero incentive for us to trade Melo at all anyway since we really have nothing to gain

Houston is really the team at a disadvantage if we handle this correctly
