76ers/Knicks

Sixers get: Melo
Knicks get: Holmes, Bayless, two of their own future 2nd rounders back.

Obviously this all hinges on Melo willing to go to philly. It is still very close to his beloved NYC, and to his hometown in D.C. Melo could be the go to scorer in crunch time and a great second scoring option behind Embiid.

Knicks get a decent pg vet in Bayless who shot 44% from deep the year before last. Holmes is a great young big prospect coming into his own on a dirt cheap deal. Holmes value around the leavue seems very high at this point. This trade helps the knicks in their youth movement and clears Melos salary.

Can't see Philly moving Holmes, given Embiid's injury issues and the fact that Okafor moves like an Easter Island statue. Plus, Anthony is a ball hog and the Sixers need Fultz and Simmons to figure things out. They can't do that when Anthony goes ISO every other possession.
