Nonsense, we have plenty of cap space for next seasons. Might as well get something in return.

If we don't sign anyone to more than a year, and Melo declines his option, we'll have close to 50 million in cap space next year

With Anderson, we'll have less than 30, and he'll still have two more years left

Yea, there is no reason to take back Anderson.

We'd basically be taking on $60M because we're afraid the press will write mean things about us if Melo is still here.

Melo is as good of a tank commander as Anderson.

You can do more with cap than sign free agents. The Marcus Smart thread is a perfect example of that.

Yes. Tank this year. Draft good. Build the team to make a playoff push and then Free agents will flock here in 2019-2020. Especially if Porzingis establishes himself as a franchise player.

Houston has over 6 million dollars of NON-GURANTEED contracts. The non-guaranteed contracts go to Boston because they need capspace, Avery Bradley or Smart to NY with Anderson and Melo to Houston

Melo down there for his joint press conference with CP3.

Or

Houston is known for their strip clubs.

I'd take Anderson just to get Smart because he's controllable.

Bradley would walk as soon as he gets the chance

Also Boston has to add a pick.

Anderson, Smart and 19 or 20 1st when CP3 and Melo leaves :nod:

Supposedly it was just a connection flight to Mexico.

Watch us start Anderson at the 3, that'd be the ultimate tank

The biggest question out of all this is...why the hell is Carmelo Anthony not flying direct?

Bigger question is if it is a connecting flight why is he loading up his luggage and getting in a car?

We're not taking Anderson.

Biggest question is why is Melo flying coach? He was spotted on the back of the plane.

Why is he wearing a hoodie?? Why is he getting into an SUV and not a limo or a super SUV?

Obviously he has to scoop up CP3 & James to fill out the Banana Boat II down in Mexico.

Should Melo Be Traded
