Ok

The main issue with moving melo is the teams who want him and he wants have so little to offer in return

They are all stacked in win now mode and have older players and limited picks

However both Portland and Detroit have come out dangling picks in this years draft. This is the way to make things happen.


Ny trades melo to the cavs
Ny gets Stanley Johnson, Reggie Jackson and miles Leonard plus portlands 20th and detroits 15

Cavs get melo
They send out shump, Frye and RJ as well as cash to det and a future 1st rounder to Detroit. Like in 2022 or something. Top 8 protected let's say.

Detroit sends Reggie Jackson, Stanley Johnson and the 15 th

They get Frye and Shump and Cle's pick

Portland send Leonard and 20 to ny and they get RJ and a trade exception



Portland sheds major contract
Detroit adds vets that fit their style and remove Jackson,who they hate, and Johnson who they are disappointed in
Clev lands melo for next to nothing. A lineup of kyrie, Lebron, melo, love and Thompson is their version of the warriors east

And NY sheds melo, takes on contract in Jackson and Leonard
Ny adds a young talent in Johnson who should do well in the triangle, a guard in Jackson who can actually play and who Phil has been rumored to want.
And of course we have the 8, 15 and 20 picks in the draft

I'd argue that we can either rebuild the roster with those picks or package two of them together to move up and target either Josh Jackson or Tatum from Phili or phx



Thoughts?

You know who I want tho?
Bruno Caboclo. I think he's primed for a breakout.
I don't know if Melo would go to Toronto to play with Demar/Lowry/Ibaka/Tucker but maybe we can take Carroll off their hands somehow, maybe using an asset from a Melo trade and attaching it to either Kyle or Lance....giving them enough money to resign their guys...

Gon' be a long summer.

Spurs will heat up if CP3 is serious + Parker retires.

Gasol + Green + Murray.

There's a better chance that Lebron joins CP3 in San Antonio than Carmelo Anthony.

I think there is a very serious chance Melo goes to Clev if Clev gets their a$$ beat

Kyrie
LeBron
Melo
Love
Thompson


thats not a joke of a lineup

and we can make it happen while getting solid pieces from 3rd parties

as mentioned above

I really wonder if adding CP3 & Melo next to Kawhi & that squad can win a title or at least close to one.

Get rid of LMA somehow & that's a team perennially in the Confeence Finals.

Let's keep it 100 Kawhi damn near carried that Spurs team, add in two players who will immensely take the pressure off him offensively and the possibilities are endless.
