The decision from Hayward might not take long either. The Boston Herald reports that Hayward wants to make his decision by Tuesday or Wednesday. However, Hayward could decide as soon as tonight.
Rockets, Cavs The Threats For Melo
This isn't a surprise, but Carmelo Anthony is now willing to waive his no-trade clause for two teams: the Cavs and Rockets. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that Melo would waive his clause if the Rockets or Cavs were able to find a way to do a trade. However, both teams have problems in actually doing a trade.
The Cavs have no cap space and the Knicks don't want a package built around Iman Shumpert or J.R. Smith. The Cavs won't give up Kevin Love either. The Rockets have had talks, but any deal would likely require the Knicks taking on Ryan Anderson. New York doesn't want that contract.
Another option is the Knicks buying out Anthony's contract. If that's the case, the Cavs and LeBron James are the favored landing spot.
