Definitely. It ain't working now and the Knicks need a big clean out. Had they added cp3 to their lineup it would've been a different story imo.
I agree.
Amare untradeable due to huge contract.
Bargnani/Chandler limited trade value
Shumpert some trade value
hardaway/Prigioni some trade value as prospects
JR Smith little to no trade value
Melo - Value but they will want/need every penny in return.
If anyone missed it -I love fooling around with the trade machine and making up trades.
Maybe my team (Bulls) should trade for him -
Leaving lineups -
BULLS
Noah/Nazr
Boozer/Taj
Melo/Dunleavy
Butler/Snell
James/Teague/Rose
KNICKS
Bargnani/Chandler
Stoudemire/Martin/Metta
Deng/Metta/Shumpert/Smith
Shumpert/Smith/Hinrich/Hardway
Felton/Prigioni/Udrih/Hinirch
Leaves the Bulls very light at PG, but they pull the trigger to get star power with DRose out.
The knicks strengthened at SF, allowing Shumpert to move back to SG.
Melo approves the trade to take the risk to play with DRose on his return, a star in the making in Butler and 2 work horses inside to rebound all his misses!
Appendix 1 - and before anyone picks on my workhorses comment -
Noah and Boozer - 21.7 FGA and 17.9 rebs (and I'd guess FGA is up without Rose)
vs
Stoudemire and Bargnani - 18.6 FGA and 8.4 rebs
