I’m fine with Melo as long as he doesn’t cost us Moute. I’d rather offer Moute the MLE before Melo IF Moute won’t take the vet min.
I don't understand why we don't take a chance on Bosh. Play him limited minutes and see how he does, we do supposedly have a great medical staff.
Ugh...no thanks - LA can have him(trade him for Deng). It would be one thing if he wanted to play the 4(would be an upgrade over Anderson) or if he was willing to ride the bench against certain matchups but the whole reason he is trying to leave is because he doesn't want to evolve into those roles. This is classic high risk, low reward. Not having it...
I would only like this if Melo understands his place which he has a history of not understanding and is willing to play 20-25 minutes off the bench.
If Melo wants he doesn't have to negotiate a buyout. Cause the Thunder has to stretch him before August 31st in order to spread out his cap hit. And there is no way in hell the Thunder are going to keep his full contract on the books for next year. Their tax bill would be absurd. Melo also has a NTC so he doesn't need to just accept any trade like to the Bulls just for OKC to dump salary. For a player who sucked last year and way overpaid, it's pretty surprising how much he has the team over a barrel.
