Carmelo to OKC

[RUinFla]

For Enes Kanter and Doug McDermott, both 25, both probable starters likely to average in double figures. And a draft choice. OKC makes its move and if the Knicks can find a PG, would give them a shot at the playoffs, NBA should be interesting this year. Phil Jackson took a lot of money from Dolan and the past year, maybe longer, he did everything he could to get bought out.

I don't know if that's a good deal for Oklahoma City or not

I think it's the best deal the Knicks could get at this point. They didn't take any extra salary on (Anderson) and they got guys back who will be part of the rotation. Taking salary back would have been counter productive during a re-build. I like Melo but both sides needed to turn the page before training camp.

I am glad they finally traded Carmelo. The drama has been too much for too long.

The Knicks defense just got better

Very true!

Considering simply buying him out was discussed, this is a homerun for the Knicks.

They add a very talented 7 footer entering what should be his prime years, Mcbuckets, and a pick. All for a guy who the front office ran out of town & didn't want to be here anymore.

This is definitely KP's team now.

This actually may be the best move Knicks brass has made in 2 decades. Not a King's ransom, but damn close all things considered.

Only negative is where does this leave Hernan-Gomez? Will he be the swing big, relieving both KP and Kanter?

A shame he wasn't moved sooner.
The guy should have "Loser" tattooed on his forehead.
I can finally root for the Knicks again.

We could use him as a grad transfer.
