Even if Melo still puts in poo poo rear end defensive efforts he still is way more playable than Kanter in the playoffs and McBuckets sucks.

Presti is good.

Hell, it's worth it even if Melo gives them 1 good year and convinces PG to sign an extension.

Quincy Pondexter had contracted MSRA after a surgery in New York and nearly died: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20785845/quincy-pondexter-basketball-nearly-turned-deadly

Also, Gentry and/or Demps was a dick after a season exit interview in 2015(?) saying he missed scheduled MRIs and was fined for it despite him not missing any MRIs or being fined.

A high second can be just as/more valuable though since the contracts aren't limited by the first round tiers.

Also OKC doesn't have their first round pick for the next draft anyway.

I'll never understand why teams always want to get players out of their conference. It's not like the Knicks have to worry about meeting the Cavs in the playoffs.

Knicks dumped a heavy contract and got two young guys back plus a pick. We need to give up the illusion that he's worth some great prospect or a top pick

This offseason really never does stop. The Warriors regaining some likeability and Melo making it to OKC happening this close to training camp is great.
