we have cap space regardless of Melo's contract.

More like y'all have cap space because of 'Melo's contract. If 'Melo had pulled an Lj (renegotiating his contract when the cap will go up much higher), y'all wouldn't have money to do anything. Instead, 'Melo locked himself in to a 4 year deal that leaves buku millions on the table to spend in free agency. To cap it off (pun), he has a no trade clause.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
Are we ignoring the fact that Porzingis was not their plan a and that pick was traded to Boston until Charlotte backed out of the deal? It was a 4 team trade that included Atlanta as well

Are we ignoring the fact that Phil wanted kaminsky?

I think Sheridan or Simmons made this claim a week or two back. It's really just hearsay and I feel like it would have been a big story at the time of the draft if it was legitimate, because the mass reaction to KP being too raw would have lended well to drama over Phil originally wanting the "4 years of college and ready to contribute" Kaminsky (man did they get that whole thing backwards :russ:)

Break down coming soon, but I just wanted to point out that KP has been working on that "not quite a dream shake but same feel" move from very early on. It's not Hakeem's exact move, it's a Melo move and when KP first tried it he air balled it but it's become a go to and he's killed two bigs with it in back to back games. I had to find the old breakdown where I'd seen it before.

I'd like to see more Melo/KP pick and pop... Sh*t would be unstoppable. You can't switch because Melo will cook the big man. You can't help and recover either because how you gonna recover to a 7'2" player who can catch and shoot? KP will get the shot off every time.

And what's going on with O'Quinn? How did he go from Oakley 2.0 to barely mentioned at all? ZERO minutes last game :what:
