    When Melo gets bought out, which is highly likely now, it's either LA or Houston, hopefully for the vet minimum.

    If Melo gets bought out, he should just go sit on the Warriors bench for pennies.

    It would probably involve Gordon and picks, and yes would take a third team to absorb Ryno. Sacramento comes to mind for sure...

    I think he goes and plays with CP3 or LeBron instead.

    Giving up Gordon in a trade for Love is a lateral move. No, not even that, just flat out makes us worse.

    losing Gordon in order to add Kevin Love is a meaningless move to me

    That’s the move to make in order to take down GS?

    When can they start to sign, the 6th or the 8th?

    Perhaps, but Ryno isn't leaving this team with just a pick attached to him. It's gonna take a prospect as well. Or if we flip Gordon for a pick, which was hinted at during the draft, it will take 2 first rounders. His contract is just that bad.

    I get it, but I guesss...I'd rahter take the chance on him regaining form(if thats possible) then to lose Gordon right now, which we cant afford.

    Isaiah Thomas off the bench?
    1 yr deal?
    Mike D'Antoni's offense could help his next contract.

    I believe it will take both Gordon and Ryno plus picks to land Love plus filler, with a third team involved. So maybe it's best we don't trade for him then, it's a long shot anyways, and purely hypothetical.

    I don't know how these meetings work. Do we make an initial offer? Or do we say "hey we're gonna match anything" therefore his agent goes out to see how much he can get?

    I feel like I am grasping at straws. I just want to see something improve. I really dont think standing pat is the answer.

    Hopefully we can just make him a competitive offer now. Say 4 for 60.
