lovely to see this organization focus on melo's short term vs kristaps' long term :lol:

this team just doesn't get it.

If Durant joins now, we'll have the cap for Westbrook or Paul next year, right?

Guess Phil likes Justin Holiday more than Grant.

I see it as 2 separate trades in one:

Calderon & Lopez for Rose
Jerian Grant for Justin Holiday

I basically see it the same. Holiday and a 2nd for Grant.

Rose for ROLO.

the trade isn't lopsided in either team's favor.

A complete salary dump. Lopez, Calderon. Jerian Grant is a bench point guard.

Rose will be motivated to do good, he's a FA in 2017. I like it.

Phil loves bigs. Watch he signs DH.

Rose had one dunk last year...in game 71...against the Knicks. LOL. *gunshot*

This is actually a good trade. If Rose doesn't resign, you clear 22 mil off the books, and get out from under RoLo's deal. Porzingis is a Center, so RoLo is redundant. Calderon is on his last contract in the league Jerian Grant is a bum, and was a wasted first rd pick.
Rose will be a great one year stop gap to the 2017 draft. He keeps the "promise of better things" hope alive. And should create some excitement for the fans. Again.. good trade.

What the fuq? Just throwing rolo in there for no reason. I feel like we got rebuffed by atlanta for Teague and this was the back up plan.

Now sign Hassan Whiteside in free agency.

Derrick Rose doesn't play basketball but we still have max cap space to get Durant. Was going get mad until the math. Go Phil

3toheadmelo · Post #98 » by **3toheadmelo** » Wed Jun 22, 2016 7:28 pm

We better max out horford then

Post #99 » by **AllanH20** » Wed Jun 22, 2016 7:28 pm

Maybe they were actually trying to get rid of Lopez for an expiring?? There's been a lot of talk about the 2017 FA class..

It's too much for an expiring player with health concerns whose franchise wanted to move him in the first place.
