OKC wants Melo gone

[The_Unchosen_One]

Melo is trash now

NOW?


Melo has been trash...


He's a fukking black hole on offense... no passes are capable of escaping his gravitational pull... once the basketball gets caught in his orbit.. it's being shot no matter where he's at.

He's fukking garbage on defense...

He's a garbage rebounder...

He's great at putting up shots though... Never saw a shot he wouldn't take

If OKC is willing to eat most of that contract a trade could be made. They'd have to eat about 2/3 of that 28 million though.

 

[Soundwave]

There are times he seems to long for his days of jacking up shots for the Knicks on the way to another 30-win season.

 

[L. Deezy]

What options do they have? Might just have to sit him on the bench

Nobody trading for Melo
A buyout would be expensive as hell
Waive is unlikely

LOL.. a buyout for 20+ mill vs paying him to play for 20+ mill

I dont see what you mean

He still has the No Trade Clause though... so you'd have to trade him to a team of his choosing for nothing

Please don't buy him out. His bytchass will just go and join LeBron or harden

he cant start on either team. I think everyone would pass that is a contender. Unless he wants to come off the bench, and he said its not an option

 

[The_Unchosen_One]

Or both since Lebron wants to play for the Rockets




But he's never played on a super team

one of the funniest moments this season ​

Melo finna pick up that option and hit em wit the

It's takes a special type talent that Melo possess to constantly be getting pushed away but go on bout ya businesses like shyt sweet.

Empire State of Mind



Melo and Doc both know what’s up with this money thing, but at the same time, Melo doesn’t have to sacrifice good PR because he’s getting his money regardless, so that’s the move that I disagree with. Come off the bench and have impact to go along with cash, or just be stubborn?

If Melo forces OKC to deal with him like this all of next season.

Melo for Frank Kamla & Mason Plumlee

I'm trying to figure out why all the blame is falling on Carmelo, when OKC has had the same lingering problem for the past decade now.

theres no logical reason for melo to come off the bench as of right now. they don't even have a player that's anywhere near qualified to start over him.

I wouldn't come off the bench neither. f*ck that.

 

[letti cook]

all they had to do was pay Harden

all they had to do


on another note: whats up with these dudes being so hurt over coming off the bench...make 28 mil, playing 25 minutes, jacking shots and shouldering none of the blame?...i mean

thats what killed me about AI...go get your Jamal Crawford/Jason Terry/Manu Ginobili on, grab a ring and play another 5 years

Jerami Grant should've started for Melo. Melo's awful both offensively and defensively. Omitting the fact he makes $30M, he's an awful fit on a team where he is not the focal point of the offense.

 

[Serious]

OKC isn't buying him out or using the stretch provision. He better get used to coming off the bench or be prepared for the Luol Deng treatment.

That's still winning
