Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2164594, member: 1674"] I understand the money works, but there's just no way that the Clippers will have elevated their offer from Jamal Crawford, Wes Johnson, and MAYBE Austin Rivers, to suddenly offering Blake. It just isn't going to happen. NBA Execs believe that if he isn't released outright, the best the Knicks can hope for is to simply match salaries to get Melo out of New York. You aren't going to get one of the best players in the NBA for him. And if they could get Blake, the Knicks would certainly take Blake rather than redirecting him to OKC for Kanter. This only works if Blake tells the Clippers he's leaving and that it's best for them to sign-and-trade him to get something of value in return and I really doubt he's leaving Hollywood anytime soon. The only way I see Blake leaving the Clippers would be for the Lakers, and even that doesn't make much sense at all. [/QUOTE]
