Really, why? I can see him in a Knicks jersey, I just don't think it will work for them. The problem there is Melo.

But a starting 5 of Lin (or Nash), Ray, Melo, Amare, Chandler. Sheesh, if they got Nash I'd say the Heat have themselves a challenge. Fill the bench with some guys that are hard nosed defenders and they'll be looking tough.

Knicks post no threat to Miami until they get rid of either Melo or Amare.

They Need Melo more than Amare i reckon

They Need Melo more than Amare i reckon

Melo's contract would be easier to move than Amare's though

Smith to the Lakers?

The Atlanta Hawks have aggressively tried to trade power forward Josh Smith to the Lakers for Pau Gasol, initially expressing interest in Gasol shortly after Oklahoma City eliminated the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals, The Times has learned. Smith has been unhappy in Atlanta for more than a year, his dissatisfaction starting after the 2010-11 season because he felt he was an unfair target of criticism by coaches and media members.

This is unlikely! Can't see Chandler being worth the #7 pick?!

Chris Broussard: Lots of teams calling Denver to trade for Nuggets' young players. 1of several moves being discussed: Wil Chandler to G State for 7th pick Twitter

If Lakers dont jump all over that trade their nuts! J Smoove will be an awesome fit.

That would be a huge front court! Gortat, Chandler and Amare!

 

[PistonsFan00]

think it was a rumour mate but sounds realistic

Espo ‏@EspoAZ
Don't worry, there's no truth to Twitter rumors Nash and Gortat have been traded for Lew Alcindor and a 1974 first round pick. #DumbRumors

lmao!

The most unrealistic trade rumor I have ever heard.

Memphis Offers Randolph for Pau Gasol?

June 28, 2012

Memphis, by the way, says a source, is offering Zach Randolph, another solid citizen, for Pau (Gasol). Rudy Gay, as of now, is not available.

Big mistake IMO, Randolph > Gasol.

Anthony Parker Retires

There had been a lot of speculation that the 2011-12 season would be the last in the year in the NBA for Anthony Parker and Wednesday he announced his retirement, reports The Plain Dealer.
Parker was a good player for the Cavs, especially as a leader in the locker room and he will be missed.
The Cavaliers need to upgrade the shooting guard position on that's why they may trade up to get Bradley Beal [Florida] or stay at No. 4 and take Dion Waiters [Syracuse].

That would be a great deal by Memphis. Surely L.A are not that stupid.

In saying that, if Z Bo could play like he did last year it could still work out for the Lakers.

 

[ozballer23]

Rather Gasol than Zbo to be honest!
