Melo is at a point in his career where he’s gonna be a role player with a small role. Not exacting a high risk. It’s not like he’s getting 30 mil a year to be a 1 or 2 option. Not sure I understand the hate at this point. He could be every bit as good as someone like Jamal Crawford or even Eric Gordon.

Except Eric Gordon is a solid defender and a lethal three-point shooter who doesn't need the ball in his hands all the time.

Melo is absolutely nothing like Eric Gordon.

Rox got to replace one of their wings. Wanted him for depth.

Got a question. What type of contacts do the Pelicans have left to offer. Can they only offer the min?

This is what I keep wondering. They have a bench that might as well be full of RealGM posters and they have done nothing about it. That team isn't going anywhere unless they add some depth.

Correct I believe

They are over the cap and used the non-taxpayer MLE on Julius Randle

I believe they used the Bi-annual exception on Rondo last year, so it isn't available to them.

Bulls rescinded QO on Nwaba? He's now an UFA. I thought he was good last season and could at least become a rotation player (based on the limited games I've seen him in).

Bigger question is how does this effect making a run at Marcus Smart?

They also waived Kilpatrick, right? It's possible. But why would you give him starters money when you already have Dunn and LaVine? He's a bad fit alongside Cam Payne who also can't shoot.

That's too rich for my blood lol. I wanted him as an 11th or 12th man.

Bulls don’t like Dunn

Nwaba should be a fall back guy if Smaet leaves. Very good defender

The fact that the Bulls are one of the worst teams in the league and are still somehow over the salary cap in spite of having a really young team just goes to show how horrible that organization is.
