Yeah, one of Lebron's good friends, but I'm sure he's going to destroy chemistry. Come on. He and Lebron will be taking the team up to Napa and Sonoma on team building wine tastings. That's as bad as the chemistry is going to get.
At this point are we really going to quibble over a minimum contract signing so Lebron can have his wine buddy with him? They have to build an entire roster with a limited budget. If Lebron wants Melo and Melo wants to come, take him. It isn't like they're spending the max slot on him. |
I think Melo has been sufficiently humbled. He knows he has to take a lesser role, and I think he would gladly do so on a team with LeBron and AD. |

The #Lakers path to AD + a Max Player.
Pre-7/6
Negotiate deals for a Max player ($32.7M), & 2 cheaper Vets ($7M, $3.6M)
7/6
Renounce cap holds
Sign a Max
Sign 2 Vets w/ space & an exception to get over cap
Process a 3-team, 7-player trade
Complete roster w/ exceptions & mins |
I don’t believe that you can renounce cap holds. If so why wouldn’t everyone? |
He is talking about guys like KCP, Bullock, and Muscala

Of course you can renounce cap holds. In this case, we're talking about McGee and Bullock. |

3 Team 7 player trade is most likely the hardest hurdle but it will be done with cash considerations. |
Pretty sure this is missing the cap hold for the #4 pick and is completely wrong. No? |

Memphis has $4m reasons. They are a team that loses money most years.
I'm assuming they're going to tank to get another high pick and give their young guys big minutes. |
They probably won’t pick up their option for Avery Bradley. Bradley and Beverly or Collison would be a nice alternative if we can’t sign a max. |

It is, but perhaps he's assuming that the Lakers will trade the pick tomorrow. |

Would be such (bleep) poetry if years after fleecing Brooklyn they turn around and sign Bostons two best players outright. |
C: Allen
PF: Horford

Not bad. |
PG: Irving / Dinwiddie
SG: LeVert / Joe Harris
SF: Prince / Kurocs
PF: Horford / ??
C: Allen / Ed Davis
If they get Horford, that'll finally address their biggest weakness in the East... someone who can help defend Giannis/Embiid in the playoffs.
They can add PF and SF backup with their 27th and 31st picks (PF: Bazley, Samanic, Claxton.... SF: KPJ, Thybulle, Okeke, Cam Johnson). |
Let D'Lo go to sign a last contract of career big man? |
What does D'lo have to do with Horford?? Kyrie is why he gets let go off... because they will already have 4 great options at positions 1-2: Kyrie/Dinwiddie + Levert/Joe Harris. So that is something I would do with eyes closed because Kyrie is that much better now and will be for the foreseeable future too IMO.
Horford addresses their biggest weakness, someone to help control the paint against Giannis/Embiid. Did you watch them against the 76ers in the playoffs? All they did was jack up threes and they were out-sized and out-matched everywhere else.

Bradley can't stay healthy and is living off his early reputation. I would put him towards the end of the list. Productivity doesn't mean anything if you can't stay on the court. Had enough of that with Lonzo.

Yeah he would be a 10th man at best but probably happy to be with LBJ and possibly finally get a ring.

This was precisely what they said in OkC and again in Houston. ‘Will be nothing but open shots for Melo!’ In his last game with Houston he took 11 shots and missed 10 of them before they finally told him to go away. And wouldn’t you know it, their season turned around.

No MLE or BAE when using cap space. Didn't utilize #4.

Of course you can renounce cap holds. In this case, we're talking about McGee and Bullock. |
Those are players, not cap holds.

For sure. I would take Korver, Reddick and even bring in Melo for the vet min. Here are three guys you can't really leave open while AD and Lebron reek havoc down low....
Just my opinion... |
The problem with Melo is that he is nowhere near NBA shape. At least that's what the mainstream windbags are saying. |
Looks like he is working on it though....and I am not a Melo fan...
https://twitter.com/overtime/status/1140779366571532288 |
Not a Melo fan too but he’s a low risk, higher reward if it works out. For the vet min, you won’t find a microwave off the bench like him. |
Was he a microwave in Houston? How many years does Melo have to be terrible before this fever breaks? |
Houston expected a different role.. The role for him here would be less than 10 minutes to relieve Kuz. If he can’t play that role, We can cut him anytime. That Houston experience would probably humbled him so I’m pretty sure he can settle and go out in a brighter note. Any sign of ego from him would be the end. So yes on Melo for me. |
I'd prefer we give those minutes to someone like Jonathan Williams and help prepare him for playing minutes in the playoffs. His energy/hustle on defense could be much more valuable than whatever I expect from Melo at this point. |

You definitely should be. He actively hurts the team he plays for when he’s on the floor.

Yeah, Is the same boat if we signed VCarter. 4 or 5 DNP, then a blow out, either way, and can get some minutes. Mantain health, and be ready if needed in playoffs. |

He's still better than anyone we have from three at 37 |
For sure. I would take Korver, Reddick and even bring in Melo for the vet min. Here are three guys you can't really leave open while AD and Lebron reek havoc down low....
Just my opinion... |
The problem with Melo is that he is nowhere near NBA shape. At least that's what the mainstream windbags are saying. |
Looks like he is working on it though....and I am not a Melo fan...

Not a Melo fan too but he’s a low risk, higher reward if it works out. For the vet min, you won’t find a microwave off the bench like him. |
Was he a microwave in Houston? How many years does Melo have to be terrible before this fever breaks? |
Houston expected a different role.. The role for him here would be less than 10 minutes to relieve Kuz. If he can’t play that role, We can cut him anytime. That Houston experience would probably humbled him so I’m pretty sure he can settle and go out in a brighter note. Any sign of ego from him would be the end. So yes on Melo for me. |
Some of it can have been as a favor for CP3. |

The #Lakers path to AD + a Max Player.
Pre-7/6
Negotiate deals for a Max player ($32.7M), & 2 cheaper Vets ($7M, $3.6M)
7/6
Renounce cap holds
Sign a Max
Sign 2 Vets w/ space & an exception to get over cap
Process a 3-team, 7-player trade
Complete roster w/ exceptions & mins |
I don’t believe that you can renounce cap holds. If so why wouldn’t everyone? |
Of course you can renounce cap holds. In this case, we're talking about McGee and Bullock. |
Those are players, not cap holds. |
Semantics... |
"cap holds" is correct....you are not renouncing the player because the player is not under contract....you are renouncing the cap hold associated with the player which means you lose Non-Bird, Early Bird, and Bird rights on the player that was previously on your roster. |
