Melo Trade Thread - Sorry Melo, these are the breaks

[Mecca]

who and who?

the fact that you don't know two young promising basketball players really questions your basketball knowledge.

because i don't know a 2013 2nd round pick and the 21st pick of this past draft my basketball knowledge should be questioned? dude GTFO seriously..

Abrines got a strap. He'll have a 10+ year career

[mpharris36]

Simmons isn't a reliable source for scoops..

this one is pretty specific he isn't siting a source. He supposidly knows the guy that worked at Syracuse so if they indeed are trying to recruit him and its starting to work that is another team in the mix. Only good for value.

I can make the case Russ/Roberson/PG13/Melo/Adams is a better 5 than CP3/Harden/Ariza/Melo/Capela

I have to think friendship plays a part in this. Melo has waned to play with CP3, Wade, or LeBron

Russy and PG13 are a half a generation after Melo's class

I don't disagree, melo def prefers to play with a friend.

But what if we just wont trade him to HOU because there package blows. He might relent...OKC or back to the knicks. OKC might give him the best chance to take down GSW anyways because there team fits Melo like a glove.

Ferguson was thought to be a lotto pick for most of the year. And Abrines is a high quality draft and stash that came over last year and is a dead eye shooter. Almost 40% from 3 and 90% from the FT line. These would be two nice assets for the knicks.

If HOU leaves the picture, we should open it to more then just OKC if Melo is ok with that.

Small problem. No Banana boat members on OKC squad. You are required to have at least one Banana Boat Member or Melo will not add you to his list.

i actually watched a little bit of him last season and he looks like a back up pg. i just don't understand why i should be so excited to acquire him when i have to take on kanter who is terrible and roster redundant.

Simmons is sort of obsessed with Melo. More so than any of us.

I don't think its a open party. Melo and PG13 are boys I heard. He still is only going to a few situations. This isn't like trading Melo to minnesota...

Every team melo has been linked to has 2 great players or the best player in the game. I doubt he'll open it up much more, where else is there

PG13 is not a banana boat member but from all accounts is good friends with Melo.

[Tron Carter]

melo is friends with most stars in the nba. melo is a very likeable guy. melo is not waiving his ntc to play in okc.

i think that about covers it.

Is it ok to put banana in my honey nut cheerios... have I violated some brocode?
