    I think we are giving up too much thought. Early Boykins, Courtney fortson and #Be Well should get it dun for Melo

    Look at the amount of hoops Morey has to jump through. Presti would get this trade done with Kanter and a bag of chips.

    Harden is the GM tho...he's still learning, but he traded for CP3 and recruited Tucker so Harden's front office career is looking pretty bright

    Houston sports talked should be ashamed for doing such a shotty reporting job lol.

    Uthoff can't traded for months, Prigs was waived. Only Kelly is becoming guaranteed today so he might just be waived while we use the rest of the guys together for a smaller contract later.

    Technically, he can be traded right now. He just can't be packaged with anyone else for 2 months (per normal rules of CBA trades when you get someone while over the cap like Ulthoff). So, he doesn't add any trade value to a large deal, but might be a tasty morsel of a throw-in for a team who actually wants to give him a shot. Some teams might view him as valuable as a future 2nd round pick.

    For salary-reducing purposes (trade n cut), he's like a completely separate $2.4m "TPE". So you could say we have two of these Morey OG, ghetto "TPE"s: one for $9.75m and one for $2.4m, and the latter one cannot be packaged with any other player (like a normal TPE).

    Right.

    If nothing else I wonder if Morey will pay a team with cap space a 2nd round pick or something to take all of these contracts to create a true TPE if he can't do anything else with them. Would suck because the value of the TPE would be lower than what you get back on the contracts, but might still be worth it.

    Might as well throw in Maarty Leunen, Venson Hamilton, Axel Hervelle, Brad Newley, and TwoSammiches to seal the deal.

    We don't have TwoSammiches rights anymore, but if we have to we can send them Malick Badiane. That would be a lot but it is Melo.
