What's dumb about my trade?
Because they like Carmello Anthony better.
Well, NYC would be the ones driving the trade because it would be under the assumption that Melo is secretly demanding a trade (Knicks can't trade Melo without his consent).
Jazz could throw in more picks and Indiana could probably throw in a pick too.
So if anyone is rejecting the trade, it's probably Carmello since Indiana doesn't really have a great outlook on winning the Championship.
So what do you think the hold up on Lyles is actually about?

That trade doesn't make any sense. No GM in the entire league would trade Paul George for Melo.
Melo is 31 and selfish. Melo's career is ending the same way Iverson's did......
Everyone finally realizes that they were selfish players that dont make their teammates better. The are cancers on the court. Stat stuffers careers always end badly.

I don't think it's anything.
I think ya'll are just hard up for some kind of trade. DL is probably just doing it for some small chance something does come his way. But I doubt anything is in the works.
I really believe Utah like Lyles. I don't think he's going anywhere.
About your trade.
Even though New York should trade Carmelo. They are really dumb and wont.
Indiana isn't going to trade Paul George. No way I see that happening. Even with the broken leg.
So here is my question to you: What sort of deal would Phil take?
I've proposed Alec + Booker + Trey L + starter from a third team (who get picks from Jazz)
Could they bite?
Could they bite if you add Rodney? (would we offer him?)
Thoughts
.... Porz has much more value to the "building/developing" Jazz than to the "win now" Knicks
.... Knicks do not have a meaningful commitment to a player development program (reference Pistons and Darko: what could he have done with a team commitment to his development? Larry Brown was pissed to give any playing time to Darko at the expense of other players who were better today)
....Knicks may believe that Porz trade value may be at all-time high before his flaws start getting exposed (opposite could be true of course). Thought experiment: what assets could the Jazz have aquired for #5 pick last year? what assets could they get for Dante today? At some point, you start paying less for "potential"
....huge pressure in NYC about the pick (not sure that Phil cares, just saying)
Carmello did lead his team to the Conference Finals and had an incredible playoffs in 08-09.
Carmello, while I don't like him or anything, has been on **** NYC teams. It's not his fault Amare leg's stopped working and NYC can't make any good FA signings or draft picks.
DL said he got a call he was expecting. So obviously something has either been proposed or is in the works.
I though Hack was the trade master, I guess not.
And yes, chances are most likely nothing happens, but that doesn't mean something hasn't been proposed or proposed on conditional factors that didn't end up panning out.
