    Basketball insiders huh, not buying it. Doesn't Melo have a clause in his contract where he has to agree to be traded. Why would he agree to be traded here?

    Riiight, like Jackson is going to go anywhere near Meyers Leonard. It would take Crabbe or Turner probably another player ( they'd want vonleh) and a pick or multiple picks in place of a second player.

    I bet Jackson would be fine with Leonard, but...

    I don't think NO would want to take on salary that would put us further over the LT threshold, and there's a limit to how much he can take back this summer already being over. We'd basically have to send out $26M+ in contracts, and ideally a few $million more. Plus one or two of the 1st round picks.

    It seems to me that NO's objective should be to shed enough salary to get under the LT threshold and under enough to make room for the 1st round picks he keeps.

    The only thing these basketball "insiders" are inside of is their mom's basement.

    Oh, but Denny, why should we simply "shed" the wonderful contracts we dealt out last season? Those are assets aren't they?

    I think you are missing two things. Salary implications and locker room drama. We are maxed out on one and don't want any of the other. Is he gonna pout if he is asked to set screens instead of hog the ball?

    F that, my mom NEVER had a basement. She would have had grandkids sooner if she had one. I always wanted a basement. Love basements.

    Could have had so much fun. My cousin's Grandma had a basement and his grandpa hid his porn there.

    I am in my basement right now, but it isn't made for grandkids, or porn. ;)

    Well, I'd have a theater in a basement if I had one now. When I was 15 it would have been for girls to willingly enter due to their own stupidity.

    I substituted Theatre for Musical Studio.
    And we all feel the pain for all 15 year old girls everywhere! ;)
