Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread
If Carmelo goes to Houston, maybe there'll be some sort of double sign and trade type thing?
Just random proposal I thought of:
Rockets trade:
Parsons(sign and trade)
25th overall pick in draft
42nd overall pick in draft
Knicks trade:
Carmelo(sign and trade)Comment

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread
I would love to see Melo go to Houston just to watch that Melo/Harden/Duhwight trainwreck.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread
I personally don't think Lowry is leaving Toronto. He wants to get paid and the the team seems willing to keep him after what he has done to the franchise this season. Same goes for Ariza and Gortat. They're all in a good situation right now and they don't strike me as the type to sacrifice money over a title, especially since this will probably be the last time they'll be able to cash in big.
As for the Heat, if the Melo sweepstakes doesn't happen then we definitely need to find a player that will be able to reduce the workload for LeBron during the season, preferably a defensive-minded guy to replace Battier. I still believe the Big 3 will all opt out and take a pay cut to provide cap flexibility. Possible signings to reduce the workload for LeBron could include Deng, P.J Tucker, Sefolosha, Marion, and Wesley Johnson. As for our other deficiencies, we could try acquire Varejao (most likely the Cavs will decline his $9.8 mil team option) or Gasol and possibly bring back Mike Miller if Allen retires? They could also go after Meeks but I think he'll be too much to afford after his breakout season.Comment

I don't think he's leaving the Knicks(pulling a troll D-Will). If he does I'll take the Bulls in an heartbeat. I know we all joke about Rose injury history IMHO had Rose thought the Bulls could seriously contend I think he would've played these past 2 seasons. Same with Kobe last year. The road to championship would be easier not to mention a much better coach and better overall team.
My only concern is what would the Bulls lose. Houston would lose Asik,Parsons and maybe Lin.Bulls would obviously amnesty Boozer but would the purse of Melo cost them Taj/Butler also?Comment

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread
im not sure having deng and asik would do much for miami, sure the defense is much improved, or should be, but the offense would probably get worse. lowry would take wades points but im not convinced you could get 30+ from deng/asik
now if were talking some low-key signings assuming salary worked i could see a could team of lowry-wade-james-pierce-monroe with a meeks,stucky,kanter bench.Comment

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread
Bulls can provide so much better:
Boozer's expiring, Dunleavy, the rights to Mirotic, the 16th and 19th picks this year.Comment

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread
Okc is the only place melo would fit. A good defensive team, with one of the most unselfish superstars in the league, plus i doubt westbrook would be much of a problem, because he actually looks to make plays more often than he gets credit for. KD is a great off ball scorer, and with theres three legit scorers the defense has to pay attention to too many players. I think that is the only team out west melo could fit with, okc and maybe the clippers might work cuz the clips need a solid wing player. Plus melo could spend time at the 4 and help there small ball effort, when they do play small. Plus doc is a solid coach who would teach melo more discipline on both sides of the ball.Last edited by OkayC; 06-14-2014, 09:46 PM.Lakers

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread
Melo claims to be opting out, this means S&T is out the window because he leaves an extra max year with the Knicks on the table. The benefit of S&T is the extra year at max, which cannot happen if he opts out. So whatever teams can offer means exactly nothing. If he opts out, he's leaving the Knicks.Fan of:
Miami Hurricanes
Miami Heat

Deron Williams did the same thing with the Nets a few years ago even though he still had another year left but nobody thought he was actually going to go to Dallas.Last edited by ProfessaPackMan; 06-15-2014, 08:48 AM.#RespectTheCultureComment
