    It would suck but I'd trade him to OKC for that one kid with a first name on the back of his jersey...the one from Cali. :)

    I'm no big Ryno fan and I hate that he disappeared during the playoffs, but that statement is hyperbole. Ryno is not a 12th man scrub like Wiltjer.

    If you say so. He helped this team break all kinds of records which has lead to us landing Paul and being relevant again so hate all you want but we most likely don't accomplish any of that without him.

    Yeah a bit of an exaggeration but either way we see the repercussions of his trash contract now, he's the reason we can't get a 3rd star. No matter how much he stretches defenses, not worth this.

    Ryan's step back is money.

    We can sign zach Randolph and rudy gay better. Mda does not match with melo in new york. Sign other gay and zach can upgrade rockets to higher level.

    The source for this is garbage. I advise anyone who clicked the link to run a virus scan right now.

    We did, apparently.

    Trash with a no trade clause.

    Persistence will pay off. NY is acting like they have any sort of leverage in this situation. They don't, not with his no trade clause.

    If/when Melo gets dealt, I'm willing to bet it's some sort of Anderson for Melo swap.

    MDA doesn't want to coach the Cancer known as Carmelo Anthony. I don't want him here neither.

    You speak for MDA now? He already said they talk and there's no problems between the two of them. Melo would be a great fit, not even going to debate that with you.

    I guess you'll be very disappointed when we get him. You're probably one of those guys still b****ing about CP3 flopping and disappointed in the role player we gave up.

    That pairing may actually backfire without a 3rd star here. Simply adding Chris Paul while trading our best defender, and most our bench is a bit much. Swinging for the fences too early can also set a franchise back

    I'm ok with Ryno on the roster
    I'm just not ok with him being our Starting PF
    Coming off the bench would be very nice . . .

    He disappears too much to be a starter in this league

    Buying out the player means he still counts toward your cap, that's why. You only buy out a player if keeping him harms your team already or his contract is so small it wouldn't matter. Or maybe the GM is dumbass like what PJ almost did.

    we're still better right now. lou williams and dekker are easily replacable via free agency. and the paul upgrade negates the loss of beverley as much as i love him. dekker may develop into a player down the line, and there's a chance we regret it , but most likely not in the next two years.

    hated this signing so much the instant it was posted here a year ago. and that's when i thought he would at least play a bit scrappy and get some rebounds and loose balls. on the contrary, he was more useless than imaginable these past playoffs. and now we're stuck with this eunuch 3 more years smh
