Wonder if Melo for Blake would work. Also wonder if the Clippers get better or worse. I realize Blake is better but man that fit is poor, and Melo has always operated best as a small-ball 4. All of a sudden they have a secondary creator for bench units, and their starting 5 of CP3-Redick-Luc-Melo-DAJ fits very well, Luc can guard the better of the 3/4 on the other team, and the lane clears up for the CP3/DAJ p&r. Also CP3 & Melo are bff's so CP3 is more likely to resign.

Or is the point for the Knicks to trade Blake away - eg for this Boston/Nets pick?
per ESPN the Knicks can't trade for Melo-Griffin without getting Rose out somehow

Melo destroy FIBA rules because his usual terrible long 2s are 3s in FIBA, and his position is a real 4, not a tweener like in NBA

So when Rondo gets released, which Chinese team will sign him for 2 weeks before he freaks out and goes home to play connect 4 with himself wondering where it where it all went wrong?
Rondo seems to have forgotten that he completely sucks at basketball and is a massive cancer now.
With that said, his point is actually valid. Bad look for Wade and Jimmy to basically call out the whole coach and team. What a mess. Maybe 9 more years of this and you'll know how Knicks fans feel.

Listening to Lakers podcast because that is hilarious.
Question: Do you think the Lakers should trade Julius Randle to Washington for John Wall?
Answer: John Wall is very popular in Washington, you'd probably have to include someone like Clarkson or Russell. If you don't think those guys are gonna be superstars then you make the trade but i think it's too early to give up on those guys now.
