    NY would most certainly do it for Winslow. Miami could even keep Deng. Miami could probably get a protected first back from NY.

    I don't see any reason why Miami would give up Winslow for Melo though. I think it'd be Deng, Birdman, Chamlers and 2017 top 12 protected pick.

    Due to picks owed from LeBron and Dragic trades Miami can't trade away a first round pick. NY is going to want some sort of asset. I agree Miami highly values Winslow but with Bosh, Wade being old I think they might pull the trigger all in to win now. It doesn't make sense for Miami to lose Deng since he's an expiring contract vet that could help a contender. NY wouldn't care about adding him.

    Would be great if we could step in, give NY the young talent they would need, absorb Miami salary and get Winslow.

    I like how it also only nets New York +3 wins.

    Deng is basically a cap filler, New York could then flip him right after.

    Yes! They are doing 'who he play for' after the mavs-clips game.

    I don't think adding Melo to Miami really makes them that much better. He's a chucker. Maybe Chicago?

    That's my thought. Plus, I doubt he wants to follow in LBJ's footsteps and come up empty.

    Or else Dallas if they're in the thick of the PO hunt.

    They won't be good enough to matter.

    Maybe Houston. Seems like a Morey mid season style move.

    Just curious, what was up with DeAndre Jordan yelling after he got tangled up with Dirk? What a clown.
