    I'd take him as our starting SF for next season in a heartbeat.

    I think we should be looking at a way to get in as a 3rd team in a deal, with our TPE.

    An example of how they can look to trade him, and why it might make sense, let's say a team like Chicago, they can trade Felicio and cap space for him. (I think they have the space this year). They can buyout Melo, NOT stretch him, and basically wipe Felicio's remaining 2 seasons off of their books.
    For OKC, the 3 years remaining on Felicio's deal would be less than the stretch amount, so they ultimately save themselves a bit of $$ on it.

    I wouldn't. Melo is ass as a 3.
    Melo is clearly a 4 in todays NBA as that's the only position he has a chance at guarding.

    @Carmelo Anthony
    You hear that Melo? Get your ass in the paint, play off others, and stop thinking you're equal to LBJ.

    They want cap relief, not more cap grief.

    Not sure how much cap relief they're gonna get. Who has huge expiring deals right now?

    Word is they are going to stretch him, but are doing due diligence first.

    They gave up quite a few pieces to get George and Anthony last summer. Their roster is ridiculously thin. I would think they need to get something back to help bolster their team a bit. Turner can start for them, and Meyers is...... a warm body. He can't be worse than Kyle Singler.

    3 way with Charlotte,

    We take MKG withh our TPE, Charlotte trades Marvin Williams and MKG for Carmelo, OKC trades Carmelo for Marvin Williams. OKC shaves 13 million dollars off of Carmelo. They take on one extra year, unless Williams opts out, but, they gain a productive PF who can stretch defenses. Charlotte buys out Carmelo, maybe save a million or two this offseason, and then get out of next year's deals for Williams and MKG, when Kemba will be a free agent. We take a flyer on MKG, who I know many are down on, because well, he can't shoot. No idea why I've always been intrigued by him, but we try him out as a reclamation project, perhaps.

    Melo got old before his time.
    The end of his career is near.
    Now let him RIP, but not on the Blazers bench.
