    Facts. People get too caught up with "height" and not look at "wingspan."

    Don't look at players with blinders on and say "that guy is a SG, not a SF" and vice versa. It is a different league now.

    Also, you can't get EVERYTHING you want. If you could, you would be getting an all star. The key is to get "better." Better than before.

    The Rockets are trying to move an unplayable Anderson for a playable player. You get that, and you get better.

    That is a good point. I do get caught up in height, even though I recognize the value of wingspan.

    Anyways, F this. I'd rather have James Johnson for a lesser package.

    I think we should hang on to Melton. I'm up for moving Anderson, though.

    Yo if we need to give up that much just to get Bazemore, than I'm really not feeling optimistic about trading gn with Miami.

    Oh HELL NO. I'd only be willing to give up Melton if we're getting back the likes of Justise. Atlanta can choke on it if that's their asking price.

    Scrubby Bazemore thinks he would put Houston (already a contender without him) and Milwaukee into championship contention?

    And Atlanta wants the kitchen sink? They can keep him.

    This is a good sign- this is the negotiation. I would give up Qi plus a pick. I would see if Atlanta would be interested in a package with Gentile + picks and Anderson. I would save Melton for a Jimmy Butler package..

    I question the IQ of a player that thinks Bucks is a contender.

    And no thanks to Melton in the package.

    Melton is going to be a stud.

    They can have Qi the walking stick instead.

    I'm sure Morey was . Melton seems like he's gonna be real good. I'm not sure he will make the significant impact we need from him this year. We could use Bazemore now. We need someone to D up and run the floor like that. Hopefully we can keep Melton. They shouldn't be getting a 1st if they taking him tho. He should be viewed as the sweetener for taking Ryno off our hands.

    That Northern European woman from the Matrix said it best, "Not like this". Too much for that dude.

    Definitely a negative on Melton, he can add value immediately and will be needed to keep CP3’s minutes down. Ryno, a 1st, & a 2nd.
