re: Espn reporting Carmelo likely gone

Knicks' picks, young players like Hill and Patterson, Budinger to take Carmelo's spot. They'd probably have to give up Martin along with Jeffries' expiring contract. The Rockets would have to move a lot of salary. They do have a nice trade exception from the Ariza deal though.

Collison would've been a good asset for the Hornets to use with Chauncey getting older.

They really like Lawson. For the Hornets, i think Ariza fills the same spot Budinger would in a trade with Denver. Theyd plug either one into Carmelo's spot.
