he's still an expiring though. So he plays well are you going to pay him? Abrines is more of an asset then he is IMO.

but if we want him I'm sure he wouldn't hold up the deal from OKC point of view.


i'm not picking between them. let's be honest, there's nothing much here and you're not gonna get a pick probably. so take all of them.

How soon before Melo's camp comes out and says they have no interest in waiving the NTC to go to OKC?

Why would Melon have 0 interest though? You have got to think he would have some interesr

ferguson is a lottery pick type asset. I know he went 21 but this was a deep draft and for a while he was considered a lottery type guy. He has potential as a finisher/defender/shooter. He would be the prize in this potential trade. Abrines is like as a dead eye shooter. The rest is just salary filler for me.

at least okc makes much more sense as a trade partner than houston.

I think we'd all be in on that deal but you're definitely overvaluing Melo with this deal. Maybe we could throw in KOQ or Kuz or something.

this works


Can we take on players without the roster spot and then just cut them or ? (Not that I want to, but obviously sending out 2 players and getting back 5 doesn't add up roster wise. Or are we short players?)

I want Melo gone, but i also want him to be successful and have fun. OKC with Melo are not gonna beat the Warriors, but they will be fighting, and they will make the Warriors fight as well. I'm not sure i really trust this rumor, but i hope it happens. If we can get Kanter, Abrines and either Grant and a future unprotected first, or Ferguson, i would be really happy for both teams and Melo.

whats the difference of Melo spending a year or two in OKC or HOU? Most of the time is spent on the road anyways and summers he will be in NY and LA...for a chance to win and compete I see no difference. I actually like the fit better in OKC then HOU to be honest. Adams as a rugged low usage center and roberson a defensive wing works perfectly with OKC's potential big 3.



I absolutely think PG, Russ, Melo is better then Harden, CP3, Melo.

At least Kanter has a strong possibility of opting out after next season, is still young, has a diverse offensive game and rebounds plus does nothing to change the tank but still ...ew

If Melo is in OKC and Houston stays as they are... who is the better team? I think OKC....
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

maybe I am, I actually like Ferguson and Abrines as prospects though so I think its a good move. Better than HOU for sure.
