A part of me would rather have Ja but trading for him after the Miles stuff is just dumb.

So... Melo better get healthy lol.


trae has 2 yrs on contract
melo has 4 yrs

shorter deal digs us out quicker. trae at least keeps us entertaining in interim.

If we're moving off Melo due to availability issues Anthony Davis is not a player I would want in return.

How they go about doing that is the big question. They have been talking about changing the culture for 2 years now. And that to me has always felt a little bit like a dog whistle saying, melo/miles are part of the culture problem from the previous regime.


The rookies looking solid if anything, would be more of a reason to keep Melo. They are all role players for the most part who are going to be valuable right now on rookie contracts, so we should try to win now. Trading Melo and going further in the tank makes little sense because you aren't building around the rookies- they are complementary guys but if they have nobody to complement, then they aren't that valuable.
