IF Melo would agree to it, why not trade for him directly instead, and leave Love out of it?
If Carmelo doesn't want to move his son out of school, he doesn't have to. Playing for a team in Boston doesn't require moving your family from NYC.
For one, the one the Knicks are going to want expiring contracts to build around Porzingis, so the are going super young.
Second some of the contracts that would have to go over would be Varejao, Thompson, both are Lebrons boys, and we know who's in charge in Cleveland.
Third, You'd have to play Love at C, which he can do in short runs, but not starting minutes.
Fourth, we an take on contracts, DA left this team with some wiggle room just for this, makes us valuable.
And lastly...Who cares why they wouldn't do this, If we don't have to give up all the Nets picks, or Crowder. Shhhh, let them need our help.
