    Melo probably wants to ring chase with us.

    I swear to the basketball Gods if the Lakers move Westbrook and bring in Hield, Turner, and Crowder.

    Green to the Lakers seems like a very Golden State and very Lakers move.

    Golden State gets rid of a player that has greatly declined and is a shell of his peak self. Can get out of his negativity and bad vibes from the punch. Doesn't have to pay his bloated upcoming contract. A very forward thinking franchise.

    Lakers get a big name whose production won't live up to the hype, better days are behind him, can't shoot, but can sell tickets.

    Carmelo doesn't even play in the NBA anymore. Anything posted about him should be in the Super Basketball League thread.

    It's the only data we have. Hence the qualifier "so far".

    Love the idea of Green and Westbrook playing together. Just screams "Fireworks!" to me.

    I assumed the thinking is, Draymond would be traded for Russ. I don't see how else LA would acquire Draymond's contract... (No way they would move AD for him, right??) And I can't imagine Kerr having any interest in Russ' game.

    his career numbers are about the same, or worse

    there really isn't a good statistical argument for him being a better than average starter. I personally think he probably is getting there, but really isn't there yet

    When isn’t LeBron James trying to team up with other all star players?

    Hawks shopping John Collins, not sure what they are looking for. He can't be happy now that Murray is getting so many shots.

    Agreed. Ant definitely can shoot the ball, but what we are seeing from him is likely not too far off of what his 'finished product' is going to be.
    I would love to see him more in the 6th man type role & let Hart/Sharpe start at the wings.
