    Maybe we are thinking about this all wrong.... In fact I suspect we are.

    We Know Melo is going to Houston. Houston Lacks the Assets the Knicks want in return.
    We know there is a willing 3rd team (maybe us) who probably has the assets NY wants in return (Harkless etc...)
    The hang up is an unwillingness to take on a contract by someone, we have all assumed it's NY not wanting Meyers...

    What if it's Portland that doesn't want Anderson and they are trying to find a 4th team to take him and get the Blazers the assets they want.

    It's not like Neil has a track record of getting burned in trades.

    From the last few reports, this seems to be the case.

    We also have a history of scratching Clevelands back... So maybe that's why Cleveland is coming up as well.

    I feel like if there was a team out there that wanted Anderson and were willing to give up assets to get him, they would've been involved from the beginning.

    The problem is that team may not have any assets the Knicks covet.

    But, they might have something we want/need.

    Supposedly, the Knicks want Harkless and we don't want Anderson. Perhaps there is a team out there that needs 3-point shooting, but doesn't have a player comparable to Harkless (in age, position and value) to give up.

    If Lee/O'Quinn were coming in and Harkless/Leonard were going out, how would you feel?

    I don't see the point in getting Lee.
