    Question: is there any team that has enough cap space just to absorb his contract? Seems pretty unlikely, but Philly used to. Because if I were Melo, I'd waive my no-trade clause for THAT team, with the condition that they agree to ship me on to some desperate contender later in the season. Anything's better than staying with NY at this point given that they've essentially scrubbed him from their website.

    One of them speaking about a trade.

    "Obviously that hasn't happened....as of yet."

    Ive been saying this for WEEKS now, I think he probably stays both of his years tho. Hard to turn down 30m on a good playoff team.

    Just the Knicks trying to get some leverage and another pick out of Neil, don't worry, Melo will be in a Blazers jersey on Monday.

    That is what I'm worried about. Haarlow had me nice and relaxed (like she used to do for LA, but that's another story...)

    'Melo could add additional leverage by waiving his no-trade clause for at least a couple of teams he was willing to go to. That way, HOU would have to step up their offer as they are competing against no one right now. He might not end up at his first choice but at least he would have a shot. As of now, no way NY is trading him to HOU for what they are offering....which is the only reason POR has a shot.

    Literally no team in the league wants RA. None of them.

    Houston literally has nothing to offer NY.

    This has been discussed.

    They have very little in terms of players but so far, have refused to include future 1st round picks which they do have.

    While I understand why Houston wants to trade for him, I don' know if they'll be significantly better with him than without.
