I see....Melo/Porzingis for Kyrie/Love/maybe a draft pick/maybe Shumpert. If......Lebron is leaving after next year....it sets Cleveland up with Porzingis for the future at the very least. And it makes the Knicks a playoff team right away. Because I think he wants to go play there even though he may not say it publicly. Go from a big sports market in NY to a place like Cleveland where they would embrace the fuck out of him. It leaves Cleveland with at least something for the future if Kyrie is gone and then Lebron leaves for Clippers or Lakers next summer. Which Lebron would want Cleveland to be left with some hope after he leaves again. Just my opinion..... plus just look around... who is making this trade now?
Who is going to bail out cleveland now really? There are not many star players available anymore. There would need to be a 3rd team for the Spurs to be involved because Cleveland wont want any Spurs players. T Wolves are done dealing I think. They have their core. Knicks is the only thing that makes sense....it is just about if the Knicks budge on Porzingis..
