2017 NBA Off-Season

"Knicks are struggling to find takers for Melo"

Not surprised at all, dude is not good anymore

Ainge is probably even staying away from all that and i would too

although now theyre gonna have a luxury tax bill close to $30M so idk

Knowing how Toronto was over the cap without Lowry under contract, yes it makes sense to pay him because otherwise they're just a 6/7 seed and a first round exit

Theyre a second round exit team anyway, dude disappears in the playoffs

Should trade him and rebuild

Swaggy P possibly to the Warriors lol

Like this for him, the warriors give their shooters the green light. He should have a good year there

Also because Melo has final say due to his NTC (aka "dont even try to trade me to sacramento") and with his 15% trade kicker you have to move $31M in salary or have $31M in cap space (or a combination of both) to acquire him, where he'll opt out next year and you have no promise of a return
 
Like if the Celtics were to strike out on Hayward, they'd have to move Bradley and Smart just to allow Anthony's trade kicker to pass through. Its a whole lot for him, and I think teams would rather go into a bidding war after a buyout than to go trade for him. Personally I think if Melo bought into the team basketball identity he'd be a great fit with the Celtics.

gotta trade demar and ibaka then too

 

[Paulius]

Yea im with you on that one

He will prolly be bought out for sure

Also dont know if Melo would buy into what you guys are doing just bc if he went to the celtics he would feel like hes the man, even tho those days are over

If he went to the Cavs, Lebron would get his ass to do whats needed. Think the Cavs is better for his head

In b4 laker fans say demars going to LA lol

[ $30,864,198 , $33,333,333 , $35,802,469 ]
 
That's what I expect Lowry's contract to be broken down into, if the $100M is an exact and not an estimate.

It's not a new report, it's not an old report. It's the report.

 

[Paulius]

Wizards said the other day that theyll match whatever porter gets

26 a year is alot tho for someone who had one good year

Watch him take a step back now after the checks start coming in
