    Melo and Monk to LA.

    They managed to a shitload of players for the minimum/ TP MLE.

    Why didn't we get Monk? Why didn't we get RoLo? Why didn't we get Patty Mills? Not to mention Otto Porter... depressing

    Good news (though I had no concern that he'd be back). There were some good times with Melo, but that experiment had run its course.

    I think Monk might start for them.

    Monk/Ellington/Dwight/Baze/Melo/Ariza is a ridiculous FA class when armed with the exact same tools that we had.

    We ended up with Zeller and McLemore.

    Come on.

    Most of them, specifically Bazemore, are worthless

    You can go over the cap to sign your own players.

    It wasn't always like this. I think most players don't see our team has having potential to compete. Maybe it's time to trade Dame and start over

    That is probably a TPMLE.

    But still. LA can offer most of those guys roles. We can't.
