    There was a report that the clips only want to give Harrell a 1 year deal to maintain cap for 2019. I wouldn't mind throwing Harrell a 3/17 with our MLE and seeing if the Clips don' match.

    I had been contemplating maybe Morey zigging when everyone expects a zag.

    Could Morey trade Ryan and take on salary and a worse contract in exchange for draft compensation?

    Parsons fits this mold. Although what asset is worth it? JMG I like as a player but that’s even more salary.

    Other players who I consider worse contracts we could swap Ryan out for and receive compensation.

    Deng
    Noah
    Wiggins

    Players in the same tier of overpaid which could possibly be swapped evenly “trash for trash”

    Ibaka
    Turner
    Biyombo
    Batum
    Gallinari

    Probably others this is just a list off the top of my head

    Your logic is no team should bother playing a game because GSW is better....
    Also, by your logic, Utah (an inferior team to GSW according to you) should always lose to GSW. Utah beat GSW 3 of 4 last year. ;)
    Match-ups kuzzo!
    Now have some of meemaw's pie!
    Also... I know you are trying to speak me being upset into existence... but it's the 4th! No work! Kids chillin watching some Disney Jr and a troll who doesn't acknowledge the fallacy of their own arguments = MAD humorous
    All love baby!
    But I will point out that this seems to be another time you seem to be stalking my posts (which you have yet to acknowledge)

    + Crabbe. + the usual Bazemore
    No way the Wolves offer compensation for taking on Wiggins. Maybe they should but they haven't reached that point yet.

    He actually feels like he did sacrifice last year and play a team game and said he doesn’t want to play that role anymore lol

    People are comparing Melo to the old Carmelo Anthony or to players Houston cannot get with the limited assets and cap flexibility that they have. Compare Melo to Ryan Anderson because that's whom he is replacing. And IMO they want to do this via a Ryan Anderson trade get his contract and Melo's off the books next year. Anderson off the books better than Anderson on the books for the 2019-20 season.

    Compare. Luc to Trevor a better defender, shot taker and finisher around the rim than Ariza.

    But Ryan Anderson off the books has nothing to do with Melo. OKC isn't trading him for Anderson.

    It's kinda wishful thinking giving OKC's salary cap situation. It would have to involve a 3rd team to work. Which brings us back to square 1 or to the 2 yard line.

    what do you mean? They will save smth like 100 million dollars if they stretch and waive him. They don't have to involve anyone else. Rhyno is owed more money than Melo so the stretch and waive would cost them more money.
