Another Melo/ Love deal:

1) Draft day deal

To TOR - Melo

To NYK - Knicks pick back, Cory Joseph, Terrance Ross

Knicks solve their PG issue, get a wing who flashes star potential, and will be a quality rotation player at worst, and their pick, which will be top 10

2) Cavs/ Raptors

To TOR - Kevin Love,

To CLE - Melo

Raptors are looking for another star, and they get him in K Love, who plays a position of clear need for the Raps.

The first of three friends ends up in Cleveland with Melo.

The next deal Cleveland looks at is:

To LAC - Kyrie Irving, Channing Frye

To CLE - Chris Paul, 2016 2nd Round pick (via Brooklyn)

Clippers get younger with Irving, and he no longer needs to play the second fiddle that he does in Cleveland. Frye is added to match salaries, and gives the Clips a much needed backup PF.

Melo gets the second of his friends, and adds the pick to help make up for the loss of Frye and the younger Irving.

Getting Wade to Cleveland then becomes the challenge.

Knicks could do better than first deal, and Toronto wouldn't be crazy to pull this off and then send Melo for Love.

I don't disagree that the Raps would most likely rather have Melo, I just don't think he waives his No Trade to end up in TO.
