He'll be 36, and yes I think at 36 he will still lead his team to the playoffs
Just corrected it, you're fast man.

they have first round picks in 2020 and beyond that are free for the taking.
and they will be terrible at that point.

Hoiberg is on the short list for the Ohio State job. I think this could actually be a good thing for a possible Melo trade. Butler was not a fan of Hoiberg so him leaving could make it more likely Butler stays if he gets to help choose the next coach. With Wade opting-in, I also dont think the Bulls would want to trade Butler and would instead try to compete.

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 seriously just called us unreasonable and came up with that trade proposal?
We'll do that for Carmelo and take Jackson's contract off your hands to go along with everything else. Hell you can swap Lee for your bad contracts too.
