The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

[dviss1]

Who do we want from NY or HOU? Who do we give up?

 

[Natebishop3]

Follow up Tweet says Harkless, Meyers, Ryan Anderson and Melo are the names been tossed around.

I don't think I'd be happy if this was the trade, honestly...

 

[blue9]

I'm trying to figure out what Portland gets out of that....praying it's not Ryan Anderson. Due to Houston's cap situation, maybe it is just something small to help facilitate the deal and Portland is able to unload a Turner or Leonard to NY.

Melo to HOU
Crabbe to NYK
NYK & HOU picks to POR!

 

[dviss1]

If this were the only thing that happened... THIS would b a HUGE win for us! Mild LeoTARD... GTFOH!:MARIS61:

OMG yes...

 

[ripcityboy]

Any trade that makes sense would be to immediately dump Leonard. Both us and Houston would probably have to send picks to NY to make it work. If we give up Turner too that would br awesome.... we could go after some minor FA signings then.

The players I would like to get out of the deal would be Ariza, O'Quinn, and I guess I could live with Anderson because I don't think they'd deal Gordon.

Awful. I'd rather have Meyers at $10M than Anderson at $20M. We get rid of three manageable contracts and take on a PUTRID contract.

You guys aren't clearing enough space. Houston has to clear $26 million off their books. And they don't have anything that would interest a rebuilding Knicks team.

There are all kinds of permutations and combinations that might make some sense. This rumor at least passes the initial sniff test as a possibility.

I agree... but Houston doesn't have a lot of big contracts. Any trade is going to include Anderson.

 

[theprunetang]

I don't want to give up Harkless or Vonleh. Especially for Ryan fucking Anderson as the main piece coming back.

 

[Mr. Robot]

I like the Crabbe portion of what u say... If it doesn't hinder anything, I don't mind giving Turner a little more of chance.

well Id trade Leonard first, but were not that lucky, so I say Turner

 

[RR7]

Harkless and Meyers for Anderson? I don't care for that at all.
Anderson makes close to 20 the next 3 years.

 

[trailblazer18]

Yeah, I don't like the Anderson contract for 3 more years in the trade scenarios above.

If Olshey gets Anderson I want him fired.

 

[dviss1]

We would only be getting involved to clear space for the Rockets, while also sending out young players to NY.

Maybe this?

Ewwwww. Anderson's contract fucking sucks...

 

[Schilly]

NYK gets Meyers + Crabbe
Houston gets Melo
Portland gets Ariza + Anderson

 

[blue9]

If Olshey gets Anderson I want him fired.

If Olshey gets Anderson it better come with an UNPROTECTED 1st round pick from NYK attached.

 

[Natebishop3]

I guess I could see this.... but it sure would be underwhelming.

 

[dviss1]

NYK gets Meyers + Crabbe
Houston gets Melo
Portland gets Ariza + Anderson

Confused as to how this helps us with our cap situation...

 

[Boise Blazer]

This doesnt seem right. There seems to be something we are missing. In most of those proposed trades we take back as much if not more than we have for players that make no sense.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Even then.. I would be livid... especially if Hark was one of the players we send out

Anderson and Crabbe kinda cancel each other out but Ariza is expiring. So minuscule cap saving.

 

[Sweetriverphil]

Don't trade harkless please. A Turner/Leonard dump for Anderson and whatever is fine with me. Get the league to move the three point line back two feet and we'll be cooking with gas

 

[Boise Blazer]

Do we really want to rid of Meyers so bad that we are willing to sacrifice Harkless for the same money and player that doesnt help us really?

 

[blue9]

Agreed - it would be awful. If Hark weren't included it would almost be palatable with the pick, but just barely.

Yeah why give up crabbe and meyers contracts just to gain it back with Andersons

 

[Schilly]

Confused as to how this helps us with our cap situation...

we shed $2.2mil immediately, then $7.4 after the season as Ariza is expiring. It's a step in that direction.
