Once the salary cap is full, we could sign Luke Babbitt using his early bird rights up to the amount of $8,000,000. The Heat could also sign four players with minimum salaries (partially guaranteed contracts). This amount of money will match the require salary to make a trade in exchange for Carmelo Anthony. And no assets will be needed with this transaction. Do we want to make it happen? Are we willing to spend this kind of money on Carmelo?

Josh McRoberts-----------------------------$6,021,175 (an expiring contract)
Luke Babbitt---------------------------------$8,000,000 (an expiring contract)
4 players with minimum salaries----------(partially guaranteed contracts)

Where did this come from?

Why would we want Melo?

And that's the question. This is only a possibility. There's a lot of people saying that we don't have enough money to spend on players. But we do have enough. It could be spend on Carmelo or any other player. This is just an example of how to get it done.

So Blake Griffin stays in LAC now?...

Great if Blake stays in LA now. Sigh of relief... now if Hayward could sign with Utah or Boston

Looking forward to signing Waiters and Johnson. I hope we are that lucky

Good that we at least get a sit-down with him. There won't be one with BG now.

The CP3 trade is a great thing for the Rockets, as they get him on the lower deal this year, and have more space to put together the core of their new team. Next year they'll hurt with their inevitable tax bill, but that's what it will cost to be a contender.

What am I missing? Why does CP3 leaving LAC make it more likely that Blake will stay put?

He wants his own team, and he still loves living in LA.

Paul and Blake's game clashed, as Blake was pretty much reduced to a finisher playing with Paul. He can do much more in terms of playmaking, and will have the platform to so now.

I don't see it either but who knows what Blake really wants. Seeing how GS-Hou-Spurs are foring, I would head East

Agreed. I'm happy taking care of our own building from within with hard work and great chemistry. Guess were just old school GOM :lol:

Blake loves hollywood and probably sees himself doing gladiator action movies some day. He's got a super max contract with them and is the face of the franchise. I think he's staying put.

Seems like a lot of speculation for a foregone conclusion

DeAndre and Blake wanted him gone cause he was mean to them apparently.

Its been reported more than once that the relationship with CP3 wasn't the best. In fact that was part of the reason Deandre tried to bounce.

Possible to sign and trade for Hayward or Blake and use cap for another big name or even keeping Waiters and Johnson?
