If we're going to be taking back garbage contracts in any trade, I'll be happy to let Anthony contemplate opting out next summer.

Let's not re-enact the Ewing trade here.

We shouldn't be asking for much, just no huge long term contracts.

You have to know deep down that will be the likely outcome IF there's a trade.

Now they're stuck with him and are goink to have to trade Ariza and probably Gordon to get the necessary assets to entice us to make this deal. Maybe we can enlarge to include Lee.

Lol, there's no point of trading for Melo if Gordon or Ariza are going to be part of the deal.

Ariza has value and can be traded, same with Gordon. There is always a point to trading Melo. That's the point!!!

Exactly, just keep him if theres no good deal. Always a chance a trade possibility comes up during the season or he opts out.

With inflation being what it is and with the league still growing, I can imagine a few players will become Billionaires from playing basketball. This my friends, this is Rome. MSM is dying too... 8-)

Keep him, punt the season and annoy an already whiny Porzingis even more. What's the plan here? Juice Melos career point totals ?
