    This has to be it for Carmelo in New York right?

    This will be the first time in 8 years where Melo is not an All Star and is again on a lottery team. Assuming he waves the trade clause, it's got to happen soon right? Where does he go? How about Melo for Tony Parker?

    I don't think pop would want a cancer like melo who happens to naturally play the same position as their best player. It's got to be Cleveland or bust. Maybe Chicago with his other but buddy wade but that's like basketball purgatory for the big names right now

    His wife, LaLa, does not want to move - she loves NYC = I don't think he waives the 'no-trade' because he is super whipped, but I'm just guessing.

    There are plenty of teams that melo could thrive in, Sacramento is one of them. The issue is not padding stats on a bad team, it's about winning it all for him at this point.

    One thing for certain, the ny fans here have spoken. Kristaps in, melo out

    Whoever negotiated his contract did a good job. I think Carmelo Anthony gets an additional $5 million a year if he gets traded. He also has an option year he can trigger himself. For a career possibly on the decline, that's a golden ticket in itself.

    Only one team he can go to where he won't be an absolute cancer and that's cavs because lebron has a bigger ego then him. Anywhere else he will turn the team into losers

    ha, yeap! Noah, Wade, and Rondo. By themselves they are each a nice addition to a team that needs a vet for 24 min a game. Rondo has to be the league's biggest mystery...Leads the league in assists in SAC and then cant get off the bench in CHI.

    It seems like the clippers want him and the Knicks will take none of the big 3.

    The Cavs have the Durant vs Melo matchup to worry about... I think if they were trying to just make it to the finals they might pull trigger but they will get skewered for any moves that aren't about matching up with GSW.

    Here is a crazy one... How about the 76ers? They need a vet and can take him for 5 years. Physically they have the core pieces... need shooters.

    Melo is one of the best scorers in the NBA

    No one can guard him

    I'm not sure where he fits. He needs to be around elite perimeter defenders.

    Porzingis will never be as good as Carmelo Anthony. That's a fact.

    Like who? Bledsoe and Booker? Those guys already hit their ceiling. Everyone always gets so infatuated with a guy when they're young. Big deal. It's not easy to improve in the NBA. There's no talent comparable to Carmelo anthony on phx. Anthony was an elite NBA player beginning his 2nd year in the NBA. Booker Knight and Bledsoe will never be that. Not even close.

    You keep obsessing over certain players. Anthony is one of the biggest waste of talents ever. Great players play both ends of the court.

    Don't see how you can call a hall of famer a waste of talent. Anthony never played good defense his whole career. It is what it is. Everyone in the NBA has different skill sets. Melo is one of the best scorers ever to play. The best defenders in history have tried to stop him in his prime and he's shit on them everytime. Give credit where it is due.

    I know the NBA more than most here I used to coach in high school interacted with many NBA coaches.

    The best fit is Boston and then they can possibly overtake the Cavaliers

    The clippers he does not fit they have enough for his type


    Cleveland mainly because LeBron can control him

    But what does that scoring mean if it doesn't equate to playoffs wins? He's had decent players around him in Denver.

    Also disagree with JJ. With me being a Clipper fan and hating Carmelo with a passion, I think he is a good fit on the Clips if you can keep the other big three on the team. They don't have any scoring up front along side Jordan and Griffin and you wouldn't need him to play defense with those other guys. Just score 17+ a game and they're good.

    No one got past the Spurs and Lakers in the west man. Lakers had the 2nd or 3rd best player in NBA history and the Spurs had a top 10 player in history and several other hall of famers. You are comparing Melo's teams to that? Come on. That's unfair to say.

    I like how so many people think like Jimmy Butler is a great player or like Demar Derozen etc. These ppl must have never watched Melo play in his prime, cause neither of those guys could hold melo's shit in his day.

    Ship Melo to ATL and he can play next to another overrated and over payed "Superstar" named Dwight Howard.

    Melo never had a good team man. I don't see how you guys think that. This knicks team was supposed to be his best team ever but Porzingis hasn't done shit, Noah is washed up, and Rose hasn't hit his stride. In Denver, who did he have? Nene and an over-the-hill Billups? Allen Iverson which didn't really work. He's never had a real team.

    I feel bad for guys like Melo and Tracy McGrady. Always stuck on shit teams. Dominant hall of fame players.

    Never said they were comparable to Melo. They are talented, young, and on good contracts. That's what the Knicks need to do. Build around Porzingis and see what pieces fit and which don't. Big time players with massive contracts like Melo, Rose and Noah aren't going to get it done

    You think Porzingis is a number 1 option on a championship team? I don't see it. I don't think building a team works either in today's NBA unless you get really lucky like 2 or 3 years in a row like Warriors did with Curry Thompson then Green. It's all about free agency these days.

    The Knicks are a shit cast.....But Denver?? He had Nene, Camby, Kenyon Martin, JR Smith. Iverson.

    Come on.

    I say a backup forward and a number 1 from the Clippers is all it takes.
