    Ryno only, not Capela

    No need for a declining Melo whom they don't want anyway....Ryno, maybe a 2nd or one of our really young assets, like Onaku or Zhou, everyone else....no.

    we are NOT giving Capela. We have the upper hand in these negotiations only because of Melo NTC.
    Since they can't convince him to get traded elsewhere they have to accept what we give them to get him out of there.

    In fact I woud ask for Kyle O'quinn if I was Morey. Or no deal enjoy Melo whining for another season.

    Hope Capela won't go out, but I'm afraid he will be the asking price.

    We're not going to be a good defensive team. Bring in Melo and it gets even worse.

    No chance we give up Capella.

    Skeptical on this info. Melo is not really a guy you trade for.

    Agree. We can't give up Capela with the star players the Rockets are bringing in. We need someone to do the dirty work. Get rebounds, block shots, etc.

    As long as Capela is not involved. It's my least fav option. But I guess ok.

    Any chance in hell Melo waives his option year pre-trade?

    Please for Anderson and heavily protected 2020 pick.
