    We are still over the lux tax, so no full MLE

    Why does everyone want ET at the SF spot? He is a good backup PG. Let him distribute. Good ball handler and passer. His shooting sucks. We need shooting from the SF more than passing and ball handling. Layman is coming along fine. Keep ET as our backup PG to stop the other teams benches.
    Aminu and Jake can handle the SF position.

    I was referring to the idea that trading Meyers, Hark and Davis for Anderson would trim another $6 mil which would put us under lux tax

    If he's playing SF alongside Dame, CJ, and Anderson, that's more than enough shooting alongside him. And he can still handle the ball from the SF spot, and give both Dame and CJ the opportunity to play off the ball, which makes them much deadlier offensively.

    We need to hope we're a third team in a deal nobody's talking about with a team with better assets than Houston.

    Typical NO type of trade.

    But then no real ball handlers on the bench. I think our bench would get destroyed if he isnt out there running point most of the time. Napier available for foul trouble/injury issues.

    I still think it's a lot more likely that we help Melo get to Cleveland than helping the Rockets get stronger. Melo to the Cavs, Love to the Blazers, and Harkless and Leonard to the Knicks with a draft pick.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I kinda don't think the Cavs want to give up Love to get Melo as that's, at best, a lateral move (in my opinion, it actually makes the Cavs worse). But maybe James just wants to get another friend in the boat.

    We're talking about ET starting in the context of getting Gordon back in the deal. If ET starts, even when he sits, at least two of Dame/CJ/Gordon will be on the floor, so there will be sufficient ball-handling on the floor.

    I thought Gordon was an SG, not a PG. If he can run the point, then cool.
    If not, Id rather have Turner than Napier pickup up the bulk of the backup PG minutes.
    CJ needs top be pulled from that all together in my opinion.

    I can't think of any other trades that don't involve Melo.

    That'd be awful because we'd lose 2 perimeter rotation players and add 0.

    Yeah, but if CLE Gets extra assets (Say, they trade Love and Frye and get back Melo and Aminu, they're more tempted.
