When I read that, I thought he was just joking. Why would the Pels even need to be in that trade? They really offer nothing.

Also could ship Asik out with a 1st as well.

No, that's not what I said. The trade involves Grits. If you trade Grits, you use MLE for Afflalo . Where did I say keep both of them?

Naw I'm saying both can be on the roster. We can sign Afflalo right now if we wanted to.

Knicks didn't want Anderson. Phx can tolerate Andersons contract 1) because he fills a need for Phx & 2) Bledsoe can now leave. Knicks are in rebuild. Didn't want Bledsoes contract. We do. Knicks get cheap contracts and expirings.

If we keep Grits, re-sign Dante & a cheap 3 & D or a Center.

But Phoenix not looking to give Bledsoe away. Can't they do deal without us? If they did need us, I would imagine they would look to ship out Knight before Bledsoe.

What they want & what they can get are 2 different things. I admit to not knowing the in depth minutia involved in a trade as in depth as this one. But, I think Kumar & Oleh are really reliable. I do know this.---> I hope they are CORRECT!

After looking at his tweet, I don't think Kumar was serious with this. What does Phoenix even get back for trading Bledsoe? A terrible contract in Ryno?

Kumar is not saying that this is even a rumor. He is just playing with the trade machine. He has made plenty of lopsided suggested trades in the past just as fun. I would not get your hopes up.

His tweet was a joke, speculation at best. The fact that it was taken seriously by anyone blows my mind.

Dude, we're starved for anything. Aside from Frank Jackson and the trades that gave away stuff, we've just had Summer League and Darius Miller as things to think about.

Sources: The Suns and Pelicans are other two teams showing heavy interest in Melo 4 team trade with Knicks and Rockets.

Well, well, well...

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y7axz4m2 I'm gonna need three copies of Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night on VHS, a pallet of Listerine, and a Segway scooter and I think I could get the Knicks and the Suns to agree to this...

I never, ever said it was anything but Kumar picking a trade that works. My hopes are fine. I never said it was a rumor, I never said anything about inside info. You seem to infer strawmen for sake of well, I'm not quite sure what! When I said Kumar thinks he figured it out . People can take out of it what the May. Truly not a big deal. So, just enjoy the ride instead of trying to dissect everything.

But dang would it be fun to watch happen.

Free agent Ersan Ilyasova has agreed to a one-year, $6M deal with the Atlanta Hawks, league sources tell The Vertical.

Melo to HOU. Knicks want Bledsoe but Suns pushing Knight. Anderson to NO. Still unclear on who would go to PHX https://t.co/GLCsNh2IQC
— Mike Ortiz Jr. (@xOrtiz4x) July 13, 2017

Oh, like hell. The Knicks don't get to unload Melo and get something else positive out of it. They probably want us to throw in a 1st rounder so they can take Knight instead.

All I know is PG to OKC ----CP3 & Melo to Houston have just made 4 season tickets glow a bit!
