    only way I see it happening is if he gets bought out.

    Pretty sure he will. Not buying this stuff about Miami or other teams actually trading for him. Looking at Pop's quotes, it sounds like he's given them a list of teams he'd go to limiting their market in a trade.

    actually hood/DJJ/Collins works almost perfectly, don't think Id do that, rather get him on a buyout

    Then we can’t get him. Hence why I said I doubt he comes here. Unless of course he’s bought out

    If he is a center now, we don't have minutes for him. I'd rather play Nurk and Kanter.

    Aldridge would offer Dame something he currently doesn’t have, a pick and pop partner.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see the Warriors pick him up...they've been kicking the tires on bigs all month

    Boston can absorb him into the TPE they got when they sign-and-traded Hayward. If he's not bought out, that's my bet.

    (Add to that: Pop tends to trade out of conference.)

    How many Olympic gold medals did Melo win playing under Pop? Would people trade Melo for LA? Throw in Hood and change?

    Melo doesn’t set screens for one.

    Half court basketball as opposed to run and gun ..Aldridge slows you down like Rolo would....I prefer Melo in that role to LA

    Melo sets screens, he's just skinny compared to a Nurk or LA....they are massive dudes..easier to get around Melo than either of the other guys...Melo is faster though

    Yes I believe Olshey will look at it but that's about all. But I believe there will be 3 teams involved in LA trade. But we might be but the players Olshey will unload Hood and maybe Kanter due to LA can take his position and the young players that's spur would want Trent and Zach.

    Everything I've read is that he can't play PF anymore - which means we don't need him.

    Don't be shocked if he ends up in Brooklyn... with Miami a distant chance. It's the Nets fellas. He’s ring chasing
