Do nikkas not understand. Melo would have to take a paycut to go to Dallas or Chicago. This nikka is not taking a paycut. It's either NY or LA.

You cant just go into luxury tax, it ain't that easy

You gotta qualify for a exception

Just gotta fill the bench up with hungry players aka bums in all reality, but hope that you hit on something.

Just some names that could take 1 or 2 year deals and then cash out....

Jeff Adrien
Anthony Tolliver
Epke Udoh
Byron Mullens

Pray we find a Center that can just take up space and rebound. We should be able to bring back Swaggy P with the $2.7 Million room exception. The bench is going to need his scoring. Hope we can get Farmar back for the Min. If not it will be Steve Blake. Both of them stay hurt so it dont really matter. lol. Westley Johnson could probably be had for the Vet Min again.

Mullens
Kelly
Johnson
Swaggy P
Steve Blake

Is probably about the best bench we can put together if Melo gets the max. Starting Lineup is going to be a beast with Kobe, Melo, Pau and Randle tho.

:mjlol:

After they stretch or trade Nash, they're gonna be around $13 million under the cap. Money for Pau, Hill and Young plus the rest of those bench guys from last season.
What part of 'Melo will only leave NY to compete for a championship ASAP' do you not understand? Yall dudes will be food in the West for deeper, more talented teams. Yall won't even be the best team in your OWN building.

Chicago can get the money he wants, and Dallas isn't offering up any max contracts.

Why you so mad?

And why would Melo waste his time visiting with the Lakers if he wasn't at least considering it?
