Following potential 2015 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones

I just don't see how anyone passes up on the talent of Porzingis for Bledsoe and the 13th pick. That would just be an awful move.
Wasn't aware that Melo ran the team in NYC. They need to do what is best for the franchise.
Also, Porzingis was a high level contributor for in a very good league. It's not like he can't play right away.
I salute the Suns for trying to do this though. They recognize they need to fully rebuild.
Yeah, I would draft Porzingis (or Russel, whoever is available) and trade Melo for more picks/young rookie contract talent.

Yep, Melo has never really helped anybody be a contender and he's nearing the end of his career and just had a season-ending injury, AND is owed a king's ransom for the next 4 years. If anybody is willing to give up major assets for him, I'd get rid of him right away and rebuild around the new assets and #4...
If I'm the Knicks I'm trying to trade Melo to the Lakers for Julius Randle and their unprotected 2016 pick.
Not sure the finacials for the Lakers, Knicks may have to take back some unwanted salary, but that would allow them to tank another year and get what would likely be a late lottery prick from the Laker's next year.
