    Knicks have already agreed to Harkless. Ball in Melo's court.

    Without question he will be. The NBAPA would be moronic to not have him at least in consideration.

    Ball = Lonzo Ball

    Melo = carmelo

    Ball is in Melos court = Lonzo gonna go get Melo and bring him to LA

    I connect dots, motherfuckers.

    Stupid joke. Ball in Melo's court. You can't win them all. This one is on me.

    You saw the effort I put in it, even if the pass bounced off-court. I appreciate it. (Also it seemed better in my mind)

    LaMelo Ball will probably be a Laker.

    Will the two Knicks trade rumor threads ever be merged? Strange.

    Did you work the boxing match at the Forum? I watched it with my dad last night and saw the ref in the way of the action several times. I thought I recognized your work.

    Agreed. They'll want more than that. My point is that we don't exactly have the options to get him either.

    Really? Where was this reported? I'm not doubting you, I just haven't seen it.

    Where have you been?

    The Knicks want Harkless. They don't want Ryan Anderson.

    Melo has a no trade clause so the Knicks hands are tied to where Melo wants to go.

    A better argument is that Melo won't waive his no trade clause to come here.

    Last I checked, Ryan Anderson was at least a second option and put up decent numbers with Orlando and New Orleans. Harkless just hit double digits on scoring for the first time this year (10.0 ppg).

    I'm not saying Anderson is a superstar and Harkless is garbage, I'm simply saying that we're in no position to be laughing at anyone when it comes to bargaining chips.

    Sure they want Harkless...as about 25% of the deal. The two players aren't equivalent.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, I'm super-indifferent to acquiring Melo from a basketball standpoint. I don't think he's great, but I also don't think he'd cost much (Harkless isn't a high cost, IMO) so I'm good either way. But I'd love for it to happen just to anger Houston fans.

    It's really one of the few pleasures left in the NBA.
