The Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks have separately discussed the idea of trading Blake Griffin for Carmelo Anthony, per a report from ESPN's Chris Broussard.

Los Angeles had some doubt thrown their way Friday night, as Chris Paul suffered a separated shoulder in a win against the Mavericks, 119-112. The Clippers recently signed Paul for $107 million for the next five years. He is expected to miss three to five weeks.
Meanwhile, the Knicks would like to sign Melo to a long-term deal, but he has so far been non-committal about a contract extension. That has forced James Dolan and Steve Mills to look elsewhere for trade value, lest Anthony bolt in free agency.
