Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Melo would thrive playing with CP3 or LeBron IMO.

IMO the days of Melo thriving are over. Doesn't matter where he is. He's washed up and a net negative regardless of the situation.

Just informing

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

Haven’t heard any news on him. Not sure if he’ll even take what the lakers have left.

I think Melo will ultimately take the veteran minimum somewhere; I'd guess the Rockets or Lakers but we'll see.

Wow. Tony Parker to the Hornets. 2 years, $10 million.

Homie blew up the Spurs and then dashed. Gonna be odd seeing him in a different jersey.

Either that or the road to recovery with Kawhi calls for telling Tony “deuces” since he’s the one that really set Kawhi off.

Who’s reporting this? If it’s Woj, then you know it’s not true since he’s a liar.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

As best I can estimate it would only save OKC about $20m as opposed to $90m. So forget I posted that idea lol.

Per ProBasketballTall

Stretching Anthony would put Oklahoma City in line to save $98,016,437 in luxury-tax payments next season. Dumping him outright in a trade would drop Oklahoma City’s slated tax bill by $132,354,122.

The upside of stretching him: The Thunder could do so unilaterally, maybe in conjunction with him accepting a buyout that increases their savings further. The downside of stretching him: The Thunder would still have to pay him over the next three years, and his cap hit each of those seasons – $9,309,380 (minus potential buyout savings) – would count toward the cap and luxury tax.

The upside of trading him in a straight salary dump: The savings would be larger, and he’d be completely off Oklahoma City’s books. The downside of trading him in a straight salary dump: It’d require major sweeteners to get another team to take Anthony.

According to Woj, Spurs wanted him back, but he called Pop in the last hour to inform him that he’d accepted Charlotte’s offer. He’ll apparently take on a significant role with the Hornets.

It's all over the internet too.

PG is greedy and dumb. Whereas Durant was a bitch that took the easy road.

I just want PG to find success after that gruesome leg injury. The closest he came was in 2013 when he and Indiana got bounced in the ECF. The man overcame a supposedly career-ending injury; I think his heart is sometimes overlooked, tbh.

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

The only thing that's a disaster are these Laker hot takes you keep spewing. I couldn't disagree more with your last two.

First your "Get him now, young players be damned." mess regarding PG and now this.

Why in the world would they wait? So they can develop mediocre talents like Ingram and Ball?

Nah man, Bron works best with shooters and defenders. None of his PGs can shoot or defend. Ingram cannot defend.

I mean, Bron is still great and the Lakers will be good despite it because LeBron is great. But they are not legit contenders this year. And I'm not sure waiting for legit talent to drop into their laps is a great strategy.

[ehh]

Re: 2018 Off-Season Thread

It's Melo, I don't think there's any chance he's taking a buyout. Stretching him is better than doing nothing but man, having that $10m on the books for three seasons is blah. Terrible situation for OKC to be in.

Remember when tons of folks were giving Presti GM of the Year after the George and Melo trades last summer? Good times, good times...
