Cavs - Knicks - Thunder

Cavs gets:
Anthony
Lee
O'Quinn
McDermott
2019 1st rd pick Knicks (Top 3 protected)
2022 1st rd pick Thunder (Top 5 protected)

Knicks gets:
Irving
Kanter
Singler
Future 2nd rd pick Thunder

Thunder gets:
Love


Cavs move on from Irving and Love and replace them with some solid veterans and a star in Melo. They are doing this trade knowing Derrick Rose will sign with them. They are also bringing back Williams as their backup PG.

Knicks make this move to get a star in Irving that can help them make the playoffs. Sure they lose some bench depth but they take that risk for a player of Kyries caliber.

Thunder go in full win now mode and get Love as a stretch 4. They are not as deep at the center position any longer but get on of the best starting fives in the league.

It's hard to explain how absolutely horrendous that is for Cleveland. Maybe the worst trade in NBA history.

Knicks would have to include Ntilikina, their 2018 1st with little protection (like top 3 only), melo and other pieces to have a shot at Kyrie but I'm not certain they'd be able to make an attractive offer to Cleveland without including Porzingis.
