    Melo should be considered if we lose out on Durant..

    Do not want, he's not a winner. Bulls was great fit for him

    Nice contract for a guy to take deep into his 30s, even with new TV $$$. If it were up to me, and like all of us it just ain't, I'd say, 'No way, hell no way!'.

    Can we please just lock this thread up? Melo is not going anywhere. Lets move on to more important topics.

    I love that he made his $125MM bed and now has to sleep in it. All anyone needs to know is that LBJ + Schumpert + Smith = NBA Finals; and Melo + Schumpert + Smith = 2nd/3rd worst record in the NBA. James Harden by himself pre-Dwight got the rockets to the West Coast playoffs.

    I will take him.....

    .......the Josh Smith way.

    Ask Phil to cut you.

    Then come here for the league min.

    We will let you come off the bench to give James Harden 5-10 minutes rest.

    And after having a knee surgery. Pretty soon he will be one of the worst contracts in the league. He has a ntc. So you cant even trade him to teams he doesnt want.( no big markets). I dont feel one bit sorry for him.

    Yeah that's going to be difficult to live down though I blame Leslie Alexander for that more than anyone else.

    I would love him. I think of it like Dwight. He's not getting any younger. His window is closing. Maybe he can get traded here and win a ring with Dwight who's in the same situation..

    What does Melo care? He didn't sign for the wins, he signed for the money. Simple as that. He got what he wanted.

    You would be crazy not to take a player like Melo.

    LaLa wasn't going to let him leave New York, and probably the only other place she would have been cool with him going to would have been LA.
