Carmelo Has Lakers, Clippers, And Bulls On FA List (Sources)

I'd think your miserable ass would be overjoyed at the idea of Melo leaving.

As opposed to giving him a max? Of course. Knicks should trade him though. The team is awful.

Go to the Cavs. Kyrie/Waiters/Melo/Thompson/Embiid = Title.

 

[GreatestLaker]

If they get the league to approve a medical retirement for Nash, they're gonna have quite a bit of money, even with Kobe's deal.

Melo will demand the max and Bledsoe will get close to it.

Lets say we sign Melo and Nash retires. How much would we have left to spend?

What the hell make you think cavs bout to get Embiid?

Does he have to take a slight paycut if he leaves the Knicks? I thought the CBA lowered a players salary if he left his current team.

If the cap is around $59 million, Kobe eats up $23.5 and Melo would be around $20 million, so they'd have another $15 million to toss around. I wouldn't pay Melo that much, but I'm sure they'll offer it.

Also, why hasn't the salary cap been raised significantly? It's supposed to be tied to league revenues and teams are selling for record amounts, but the cap is staying the same.

A Solid Plan and The New York Knicks doesn't go hand to hand with each other

farewell new york

He's going to the Lakers, especially if the league lets them use a medical retirement on Nash and they clear his salary.

Next year's opening night roster:

Lowry or Bledsoe
Kobe
Ariza
Melo
Embiid

Lakers 2015 title lock.

Bledsoe is restricted and the suns have already mentioned they will pay him whatever money necessary to keep him.

get this fat crying bum the fukk on outta here

Bledsoe is restricted and the suns have already mentioned they will pay him whatever money necessary to keep him.

True, but you never know. He might just want to stay there too. I'd be fine with Lowry at PG.

What about the Spurs?




If he was serious about winning

Knicks can offer 118 million over five years (7.5% annual increase) vs the Lakers $87.6 million over four years (4.5% annual increase).

Clippers would be fools to give up blake for melo imo...

Not happening.. Blake is back in beast mode. F*ck a trade, we'll just wait til he's a free agent. Unless the Knicks want DJ, the rookie Bullock and some picks for Melo

 

[Jplaya2023]

IF he's serious about winning he should take a pay cut and go to the spurs or clippers.

Doc or Pop would get the best from melo and demand it out of him every night.
