    Of all the guys signed last year, Harkless is the only one I don't want to see moved.

    And yet, we're likely moving him.

    Little bit of PT and he's grown so much. It's hard to remember he's still only 24!!

    I'll hold off my angst until it/when a deal goes down and I see the final return, but I generally haven't been a fan of the scenarios I've seen.

    You're exactly right. I'm going to hold off being pissed off until it actually happens. But if we end up with RA instead of Hark I'm going to be extremely upset.

    I think a trade like this would really solidify our playoff position.

    Dame/Lin/Bazz
    CJ/Gordon/Connaughton
    Harkless/Turner/Layman
    Anderson/O'Quinn/Swanigan
    Nurk/Davis/Collins

    Every reddit post begins with the assumption we are taking Anderson. We are like the fourth guy you get in a beer run who puts in the same amounts of money but who always gets stiffed when the empty cans are counted up.

    Well, chances are, with how bad the Leonard/Turner/Crabbe contracts are, you won't like the trades that send those guys packing, if they do occur at all. Harkless at least has the possibility of bringing in some good return.

    The parameters of the deal seem to be mostly unchanged for days now.

    Melo for Ryan Anderson and a third team to make the CBA dollars match. The Knicks want someone else to take Anderson. The Knicks can take back 150% of Melo's salary. They used up most of their actual cap space on Hardaway Jr.

    I don't really see much in it for us, other than Anderson, picks, cash, and maybe a salary dump.

    A contract that neither team "could or would" take on is one that's too low to satisfy the CBA, not one too big. That's my take on it.

    NO is possibly shaking down the Rockets to get as sweet a deal as possible. The Rockets are desperate for Melo, they have to satisfy the Knicks (and us).

    Oh goodie, I finally get to ask this question for one of these;

    Why do the Knicks do that? :crazy:

    There's no point in us being involved, from the other two teams' POV, if we're not taking Anderson.

    Ryan Anderson for Mo doesn't move my needle.

    As long as it's worth our while but it's still a big contract. No wonder it's taking so long. Probably a bunch of scenarios in play.

    The risk is another team takes our place, giving the Knicks someone they like even more than Mo.

    Ok. I could get behind something like that. But it's true, I don't see the Knicks doing that. I mean... it's Butters...

    Hearing New Orleans is interested in being the 4th team in the trade

    New Orleans has some junk to offer. Omer Asik and E'Twan Moore!
