Official Carmelo Anthony Trade Rumors Thread (Carmelo is Officially a Knick)

While the Rockets don't have a franchise talent like New Jersey's Derrick Favors, they can offer cap relief in the expiring contract of Yao Ming ($17.7 million), Shane Battier ($7.4 million) and Jared Jeffries ($6.9 million), as well young talent like leading scorer Kevin Martin or Aaron Brooks, the NBA's 2009-10 Most Improved Player. Houston also has the right to swap draft picks with the Knicks in 2011 and it owns New York's pick outright in 2012.

It is unclear if Anthony would be willing to sign an extension with Houston or if the Rockets are willing to make a deal for Anthony without the extension. Sources told SI.com in August that Anthony would be willing to sign with the Rockets but that was before Yao's season-ending injury.

One source said that while the Rockets were discussing a trade for Anthony they were "not close" to a deal on Monday.

Good market, well run organization, complimentary role players, quality coaching. The Rockets are probably Melo's best bet at winning in the long term. Once the Lakers run is over (

), it should be a wide open field compared to the East with the Celtics, Heat and Bulls. Just a matter of convincing the Nuggets to trade within the conference.

A man can dream, can't he?

Glad to know I'm not the only one who started busting out laughing when I read Blake Griffin. We already knew Denver's FO was over their heads but these dudes are on some other #$$+ now.

Cake's Nigerian post

COMEDY.
