Might as well claim the Knicks since the Nets are moving to Brooklyn.
Melo is but a means to an end though, Step 2 of 3. The stank of Isaiah Thomas will only be cleansed if they land CP3 next year...or possibly Deron Williams.
Come on New Jersey, you traded for a superstar with a contract that expires after the CBA is gone but can't sign an extension b/c of the current expiring CBA? You just gonna take it on good faith that you have the means to woo a superstar back to New Jersey, cause I see how well that's worked so far w/ Bron Bron, DWade, Like a Bosh, and Melo, trololol.
