Almost. You are getting a premium player, after all. Can I interest you in his summer workout videos?



Are we talking hoodie Melo here? If so we might need to innsert Rozier and and extra pick swap. But I hear GS is offering their starting 5 for him so we might have to add a few extra picks to beat that package.


Actually, Hoodie Melo was last offseason. This season, I call him So Much Left In The Tank Melo :D

Dude was one of the most talented offensive players I've seen come into this league..never really had any major injuries but washed away because he never stopped being an arrogant me first chucker. The Dwight Howard of small forwards..to add insult to injury, in the worst moment of his career, dude had his wife get her tig ol' bitties played with on TV..sad, sad, sad. :lol:


He doesn't seem to understand that things change. Thunder beatwriters keep insisting that the lockerroom was good, but I just don't buy it. One guy can't be that delusional and not be a problem at the same time, especially since Billy The Idiot was feeding into that delusion all season long, going out of his way praising Melo for things he had nothing to do with.

I'd take him over Nader

Absolutely. He was Scheduled to make $4.2 this year.
At 31, I wonder what he would take to be a Celtics again?

He'd be cheaper than Morris.
We could redirect that money towards Smart's Contract . . .

At this point I'm surprised he hasn't broken out the No. 45 yet, but there is still time for him to take a year off and then come back wearing it a year later.

Maybe he'll alternate road and home, going 32 for home games and 23 for road. Go 6 for the practices.

Then come playoff time he'll bust out his Tiger Woods edition uni, red nike polo shirt with the black slacks cutoff at the knees ala Trae Young style.

Zhaire Smith for Mikal Bridges is not looking too good right now.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

My guess is they are hoping Biyombo has a great year and then opts out of his contract next summer, which would open up about $36 million in cap room as Kemba and Lamb also become free agents after this coming season.

The trade? By paying a million dollars per year more, compared to Mozgov, they get someone back that they drafted, and blocked shots which they need. By also shipping out Stone, save extra money.

They are a Jordan team, so they have no idea how to build a roster or how to contend.

Charlotte should be in the playoffs. Very deep. Also, very confusing. Kemba is their only offense, but five players there are on more money than he is.


Orlando, they avoid a problem, so their top pick Bamba gets minutes. Also get a point guard to try.

The Bulls, save a few dollars?


It was a strange trade, by maybe some logic for each team is there.


Or, Mozgov and his championship-winning experience is just wanted by so many team.




Indian, being advised by Bird, is winning the offseason.

Kyle O'Quinn, underrated and underpaid, in terms of NBA money.

why? Smith was the best player on the floor in that game. He reminds me so much of Marcus Smart except he'll be better offensively and is an elite athlete.

Monk and Bridges are back to back great picks. They'll be a tough team to beat this year and could make the playoffs in the weak East
