The New York Knicks who have been struggling this year and who were recently blown out and just out played and out coached by the Brooklyn Nets in their own home, Madison Square Garden, need to trade star Carmelo Anthony.
As things are right now with the team being under .500, and things only getting worse as they continue to show little heart, it would be beneficial to trade him. A few years back, when they traded for Melo, they practically gave up their entire team to get him and also let the NBA know that they meant business and were going to win now. But as time has passed, with Amare being injured and his play declining from when he first arrived in New York, and the team not really having any direction right now, why not trade him?
You can probably get some pretty good deals if you put Melo out on the market. Sure, you won’y be getting anything of his value back, and you’ll probably get a couple players who will not be of his skill level, but you can get some draft picks and get the future heading in the right direction.
The Orlando Magic were in this predicament a couple years ago with Dwight Howard who was eventually traded to the Lakers and is now with the Houston Rockets.
They waited and waited, and they received a few average players with some draft picks. This is most likely what will happen if the Knicks do trade Melo but that is better than losing him this upcoming offseason for nothing.
Maybe you can get a couple young players who have promise and a few draft picks. We all know that draft picks are a key trading chip so they could possibly deal those for players in the future as well. Who knows, you could even move up in the draft with those picks.
Get as many assets as you can or else be sorry when you lose him for nothing.
