Trade: Cleveland Cavaliers - Minnesota Timberwolves - New York Knicks

CLE get Carmelo Anthony, 2 highly protected 1sts from MIN and NYK
MIN get Kevin Love, Derrick Rose
NYK get Andrew Wiggins, Kris Dunn or Ricky Rubio + cap fillers (Pekovic, Aldrich etc. )

Just an idea: Cavs get Anthony, who could start as SF, while James switches to 4 (or the other way round obviously) . Minnesota then gets a nice home coming story with Kevin Love, who should fit perfectly alongside Towns. Muhammad could start at 3.

Also, Thibs reunites with his old protege Derrick Rose. To include Noah for this reason would be nice too, but his contract seems to make this impossible. The Knicks on the other side could build around a young core of Porzingis and Wiggins plus either Dunn or Rubio (Hornacek maybe would favor Rubio here, as he may have less upside than Dunn, but as a veteran and pass-first PG may be easier / better to work with) .

Btw, the initial trade idea here was Melo to CLE, Love to MIN and Wiggins to NYK. Personally I think, as bright as his future will be, that Andrew Wiggins doesn't really fit to Tom Thibodeau's system, while a stretch 4 like Kevin Love could help immediately.

Sorry, Minnesota passes. Carmella no longer worth a young player like Wiggins. And you want Minnesota to give up a 1st along with Dunn or Rubio, while taking on Rose. Take that weak crap out of here.

Melo has no value now! Cleveland won't shake up their roster now! They have great chemistry! Why screw that up?

HA! Good luck getting that value back for melo and rose. Lol they have little value. Both are ball hogs and both are aging and on and contracts. Rose is going to ask for max. so I considered that.

Timberwolves ain't trading Wiggins and Dunn away, Rubio would be possible to get

Rose trade value is non existence, he a free agent in the summer, Knicks be lucky to get a 2nd rounder for him now

Melo has a no trade clause so unless he joins a contender team ie Clippers, Cavs he going to use it, the Knicks have 2 options, work with what they got and get possibly the 7-8 seed or blow up their team right now trade Melo to a contender team for expiring contracts and picks, create some cap space and rebuild this off season, Knicks will not get trade value for Melo now

Also believe Wiggins has the best chance of the "lil" big 3 to get moved over the other 2.
