The big question on my mind is whether Phil was doing anything at all with personnel.

He's due 50 million + a 6 million trade kicker. No one is trading for this bum.

Please. Absolute bumms are getting 15+ million a year. Snd Melo is no bum. He could still help a lot of playoff teams, and if we are patient someone will give us assets for him. It's totally ludicrous to buy the guy out without getting anything back in return and having to eat most of that contract.

One thing is trading him another thing is buying him out. Looks to me like Phil took the whole thing personal and it didn't help. Similar to Dantoni situation with Melo.

Who knows.

Also, Melo for Ujiri and 2 future 1sts. Get it done.

Crunchknicks1 · Post #29 » by **Crunchknicks1** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 10:56 pm

Boston don't want him. So Washington can give Porter sign trade or Morris filler. Raptors Carroll Powell. Cavs three team trade for love that's about it.

The salary filler probably can’t be Trevor Ariza, by the way. Ariza and Paul are close after years together in New Orleans, and playing with Ariza factored at least a little into Paul’s decision, per league sources. The Clippers had tried to trade for him in prior seasons, sources say. – via ESPN

The New York Knicks gave a deadline of about three days to the L.A. Clippers to respond on a possible Carmelo... https://t.co/Sk7L0HSFjL

Nonsense. We don't like him but he is no bum.

I'm willing to bet that Cleveland wins another ring if he's there.

good that they know they have to get rid of him

no gm is gonna wanna take over with him
on the roster for multiple reasons

1. he's a side show at this point
2. he's old and kristaps is young

KnicksChamps · Post #37 » by **KnicksChamps** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 11:04 pm

If PG goes to Houston, maybe Boston starts to really feel the pressure to go for Melo.

Wasn't Doc Rivers "traded" from Celtics to be coach as Cliippers. I have no idea how non-player trades work.

22 points with average efficiency*

Should Melo Be Traded
