I don't mind adding another vet as long as he knows his role. Lebron will keep him in check.

This will not end well, guys.
Same scenario as Houston will happen. Same argument was made about CP3 being his good friend and keeping him in check. They cut him quick.
Melo is Melo and will never change. The Lakers are desperately trying to make the playoffs and they can’t afford all the stuff that comes with Melo. |

| The idea that Carmelo is "picking" his next team is sort of humorous. |

We're already getting the best out of Carmelo by not having him on the roster. |

| Reminder: getting Carmelo makes it much more easier to trade guys like KCP and fillers for Vucevic since Carmelo can replace KCP with offense. |

Seriously. He was waiting for a team to take a chance.
I hope this isn’t what Pelinka was thinking about when he was pacing after Cavs loss. |

I’ll believe it when I see it. We would have to cut a player and we don’t have anyone worse than him.

| Please no. I’ll be convinced they’re actively trying to find ways to fire Luke if they do this. |

John Ireland said he knows Sam Amick. They are friends and he has his personal phone number. With that said, he stated that a lot of Amick’s stuff is BS, and he’d be the first to tell him.
I’m not saying Melo isn’t coming, but with Amick’s track record it’s looking about 50/50 at this point.
Melo is friends with Lebron and Kuzma though. He also has had interactions with BI during team USA. |

Beasley seems like the likely candidate to get cut, if you saw the game yesterday he looked lost and played very lackluster.. I don’t mind trading Beasley to make room for Carmelo.. Carmelo is still a better player then Beasley. |

Interesting. I thought he had a good reputation.

He is still technically under contract with the Rockets right?

Who loses their starting spot and minutes cause Melo is adamant that he’s still a starter and deserves big minutes.
