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

Melo is worth more than just a salary dump though. Even then, why do this a month before the season starts?

Russ plays basketball, PG spots up and shoots some crazy high 3-point %, Melo also shoots a lot of 3s but misses.

They lose in the WCF to the Warriors in 6 games.

It's weird that Ryan Anderson was the sticking point in the Rockets trade, he'd be a better fit than Kanter and their contracts are about equally bad

IMO GMs should get a lot less credit for getting themselves out of bad contracts they themselves signed.

Westbrook,roberson, george, melo, adams? Or Bump Melo and George down a position and start with Patches Patterson at 4. With Ray Felton, Jerami Grant, Daniel Hamilton and Robeson all playing here and thaer.

That team at least looks solid on paper. They have shooting and plenty of scoring options, and should defend well enough. The bench is depending on Jerami Grant to keep shooting 3s decently and Ray Felton playing like he did in Dallas.

As i've said, their success will depend on Melo playing like 3rd option olympic Melo and not teamkiller midrange Melo
