The Lakers need to amnesty Artest, and the Knicks need to sign him.
And the Knicks should trade Melo for Joe Johnson. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it would make both teams better. In case you live in a box sheltered from the world, surely you've all realized that Carmelo makes the Knicks worse. Without him, the offense flows and the defense improves. He'd be perfect for the Hawks, who have no semblance of an organized offense whatsoever anyway. JJ is an unselfish player who makes his teammates better, and who previously played with Amare in Phoenix. The casual fan would think this trade is stupid, but the smart observer realizes it is a great trade for both sides. Of course, it makes too much sense to ever actually happen, as NBA GMs are morons.
