That's fine. Just understand Melo, McRobers and Granger would all have to be paid via cap space.

and you just understand...until it's inked - its not final... :D


Oh, I understand that well enough.

But I also don't think Miami is not going to f-over free agents like that.

I think Lebron and Melo planned this since the lockout. Nah not playing together. Plan is to make sure everyone gets the max. The way teams are bidding, I wont be shocked Deng gets the max.

Josh McRoberts, now he's the very definition of a marginal power forward (I coined that phrase from Stephen A).

No, trade exception is no different than free agent exception. They eat cap space until they are renounced. There are no free lunches in the CBA.

I again agree with you that nothing is certain until deals are finalized, but again, it would be highly unusual for a team to retract an offer like that.

Do we look back at Tyson/Amare/Melo as our old Big 3?

Shouldnt have, but I've certainly heard them called such.

One of those certainly didnt qualify at the time.

I think we should begin referring to them as the anti-Gallo/Chander/Moz.

That's that wrestling guy with the curly boots. I think he did a Boston crab.

another day no word imagine the dude is just freaking tiring. he forced his way here for the cash costed us young players and picks and then is thinking of bailing, that is a bad pr move. I can see him leaving but he needs to get us something back besides cap space anything less is crime considering what he cost us. He would go to one of the most dislike bball players in NYC. I think Melo's ego could not handle that
