But why would the Knicks do something like that? Melo doesn’t have any leverage, what’s he going to do, hold out? Dumping the Noah contract would be good, but to match they’d have to just take another overpaid player. Knicks fans don’t want Allen Crabbe, making more than Jimmy Butler. I’d rather just let Melo do his thing, and maybe at the deadline something will materialize.
