OKC, Atlanta talking trade?

Who the fook is dat guy

 

I wasn't going to put it quite that way, but yeah, why should we "listen" to Mitch Lawrence? If there's anything to it, the main point for us is that Melo gets bought out.

 

Same guy that had Melo going to Brooklyn and Lin going back to OKC...oops

 

I like Schroder. I seemed to always play well against the Rockets.

 

Um. How does that save OKC money ($100,000,000, whatever)?

I guess the incoming guys make less money, but the tax bill would still be high.

 

Shroeder has far worse trade value than Melo at this point. LOL at atlanta wanting more sweetener to take this deal.

 

Never understood trading for a guy who has a court case pending. These guys usually get out of it with community service, but still.

 

So OKC gets Schroder and gets rid of Melo? How is this solid trade for the Hawks?

 

Getting rid of Dennis would be solid. Always read reports that he is a locker room cancer. Who would want him around. Might as well hand the keys to Young.

 

I don't really know, OKC basically gets Reggie Jackson back for free...turns out Presti also gets assets...lmao i just can't...

 

Double post

 

i thought okc HAD to dump melo to save on tax. so why would they take on shroeder then? especially to play as a backup to westbrick? does not compute

 

There's not a GM in the league that considers Scroeder even remotely an asset. He's expensive, can't shoot, inefficient, one of the worst defenders in the NBA and by all account a real POS. He's a classic case of hollow PPG.

The Hawks are trying to give him away, and nobody wants him.

 

IS there anyway we can get in on this deal move Anderson and get Bazemore somehow.

 

Same goes for Melo though, he has no value and OKC is forced to move him unlike Atlanta with Schroder.

OKC are also going to get back a lot of salary here so, i'm not even sure how it make sense for them if Schroder is negative value and still costs them a ton of money.

 

I'm really not sure about that either. Schroder makes 15 million over the next 3 seasons, Melo can be stretched for 9 million per.

I guess they think they can rebuild Schroders value enough that they can dump him as opposed to being completely stuck with melo's dead money.

OKC is really scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point to avoid stretching.

 

along with 3 more years on Schroder's contract.. he's also facing potentially felony charges.
