If we get Paul then Carmelo can kiss out rear...but we have a much better chance at landing melo than we did with James.We've played that waiting game before. What if Carmelo leaves us out in the cold ala LeBron?

And btw, your video is very good
Lets say we lost out on Gallo and Randolph....Thanks. The last sentence in it says it all.
But gutting the team of the majority of its young talent for CP is a plan that is very dependant on signing Melo. I agree that the Knicks do have a good chance at Melo, but you need to expect the worst in these kind of situations.
Say Melo signs that extension, and we've dealt those three to New Orleans. You're left with CP and Amar'e, then a lot of average players.
I just can't bring myself to deal with average after all these years of mediocrity.
You trade for Chris Paul for one reason, and that's to be an elite NBA team. I just don't know if the above team is an elite one.
can't be included in a trade until dec.
Thing is...Paul is under contract for two more years before he can opt out.
The reality of the matter is if the Hornets don't want to trade him he's not going anywhere. The only reason we pull the trigger on the CP3 trade is if we're convinced that another team has come up with a good offer. Frankly I don't see another team having the assets to pull a trade for him - he's not going to Portland, the Lakers don't have the assets really (and CP3 is NOT going to want to go play in the triangle as much as he listed as a preferred destination) and NO is not going to take back contracts like VC and Nelson, they need to shed salary.
If we take on Okafor's contract, we'd be able to get him by giving up Randolph.
But if the roster we create:
Paul
Fields
Gallinari
Amar'e
Mozgov
If they don't win a title, then we're screwed and have no flexibility
can't be included in a trade until dec.
Personally, I would.
We still keep Curry's expiring contract and we would be able to sign Melo, potentially.
Potentially!! Lol thats funny.. You wanna bank on that? Nah I'm not gonna give up almost all of the future of the team for CP3 unless I no for sure my back up plan is gonna work and i'm gonna have good players at evry postion!
