Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

[Dpauley23]

I was wondering if anyone's been able to do this yet? I have only managed to get one of Anthony or Paul without trading Amare

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

It can be done if you ditch their roster non- Stoudemire. I prefer to keep Wilson Chandler, though, as he is a 82-85 OVR after a couple of years.

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

Its impossible to get dem both. I've got tired of tryin to get melo wit my knicks I tryd every trade but none work.. so I started a new franchise with force trades on that's the only way I. Could get him wit knicks uniform but I didn't take advantage of it I think I gave up like 3 players and a draft pick. But now I got chandler coming of the bench and got my chemistry way down but we're still winning games I don't get that chemistry thing

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

Like the above poster said, put trade override on. Normally I hate trade override, but a trade of Gallinari, Fields, and three first round picks for Carmelo Anthony is fair. To get that third first round pick, trade Anthony Randolph straight up to the T-Wolves for a first round pick, and maybe an extra player if you can get it.

Next, I would just get to the end of the 2012 season, whether it be simulating or playing through the two seasons, to get Chris Paul. Only realistic way it could happen in my opinion, and it keeps your roster at least decently balanced with Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Toney Douglas, and Kelena Azubuike. Make sure you have enough cap space though.

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

you can't have five trade spots as you mentioned above Gallinari, Fields and 3 1st round picks

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

I traded OJ Mayo, Gallo, Chandler, Curry for Melo, Anthony Carter, and Melvin Ely. Its the only trade I could get the Nugs to accept (got Mayo for Randolph). Over the course of the season, I got offered Josh Smith (and a cheap expiring) for Felton and Turiaf. I did this deal. I made some other deals and loaded up on draft picks so I have no intention of getting Paul. However, I just offered Smith, Fields, and a 1st rounder for Paul to see if it'd work and it did. Maybe you can try that deal with ATL and then swap Smith for Paul.

For me, one of my picks turned into Kemba Walker giving me a line up of Walker, Fields, Melo, Smith and Amare. Pretty dang solid but my bench is weak and full of rooks and cheap contracts

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

I achieved this without giving up STAT, Gallo, or Fields over the course of three seasons. Heres what I did:
Season 1: (All trades were done as season progressed without trade override)
Traded Curry and Walker to T'Wolves for 2012 1st rounder and Telfair.
Traded Mason and 2nd rounder to Blazers for Fernandez.
Traded (day before trade deadline) Randolph, Rautins and MIN 2012 1st rounder to Memphis for Mayo, Vazquez and MEM 2012 1st rounder.
Traded (on trade deadline day) Mayo, Buike, Telfair, and Wilson Chandler for Melo, Sheldon Williams, Gary Forbes, and 2012 2nd rounder.
*Lost in first round of playoffs to Orlando* STAT separated his shoulder last game of the season vs. BOS, Fernandez broke his wrist in game one, and Melo broke his wrist in games two. Miami beats LAL in 7 game series to win championship*

Season 2:
Offseason- Traded Turiaf and MIN 2012 1st round pick (9th overall) to Toronto for 2012 1st round pick (2nd overall): Drafted Jared Sullinger, second round drafted Fab Melo, and Chris Joseph.
Signed T-Mac MLE
Reg season-Traded (on trade deadline day) T-Mac, Douglas, and Fernandez to MIN for Jonny Flynn and Wes Johnson.
*Won championship* Swept LAL

Season 3:
Offseason-Drafted Rakeem Christmas (26th overall)
Landry Fields resigns for the MLE
Traded-Felton, Flynn, and Chris Joseph to Hornets for CP3.
Signed-Ewing Jr., D.J. Strawberry, and J-Will

Current Roster:
C) STAT
PF) Melo
SF) Gallo
SG) Fields
PG) CP3
6) Wes Johnson (sg/sf)
7) Jared Sullinger (pf/c)
8) Timofey Mozgov (c)
9) Rakeem Christmas (pf/c)
10) Fab Melo (c)
11) Patrick Ewing Jr. (sf/pf)
12) Jason Williams (pg)
13) D.J. Strawberry (sg)
14) Grevis Vazquez (pg/sg)
15) Shawn Williams (sf)

I just started my 3rd season and all my important pieces have 3-6 years left on their contracts. The majority of my bench still have their rookie contracts for another season or two, so I should be a force for a while. I've noticed that daily training has a lot to do with trade values, so with trade override off I was able to accomplish these trades. The only real cheeser trade I feel was my Flynn/Johnson trade with MIN but I know IRL most of these trades are not realistic.

I think you might consider moving Gallo to PF as he is 6'10

That's what I did, develop Chandler and make him my number 2 guy. Don't need Carmelo at all.

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

Do it in two separate trades and just use trade override. I don't like using trade override but they would accept in real life so I would just do it.

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

Ah, no need of CP3, although i gave up a lot for Carmelo, in the 2012 offseason, i signed a couple of role players and traded them away and managed to reunite Melo with Billups and Galinari

[sxe_hxc_amf]

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

You guys have had Cp3 as a free agent? the best FA ive seen was Lebron like 5-6 years in. I have never seen Cp3 or Dwight or Carmelo as a free agent. They always decline the option then re-up for 6 years. =/

Re: Any way to get both Paul and Anthony as the Knicks

really? in my game melo absolutely NEVER re-signs (and ive tested this easily 50 times) , paul is about 50/50 though... you can get them both the best way is patience, sign melo after year one, play/sim yr 2, and by that point gallo should be an 81ovr, give him a 3yr $45mill deal then ship him and a couple picks to whoever signs cp3
