    LaMelo is essentially banned from college ball because of his endorsements with the Big Baller Brand, who he is no longer associated with.

    By taking money, he's no longer eligible to play in college. He still has to wait a year after high school, like Mudiay, will play overseas before entering the draft.

    hopefully this FO remember the 1st Miami Lebron year, lots of useless retirable over the hill players who didn't help..get useful and cheap hustle players if Kawhi is not coming

    As long as he's been humbled and has no expectation on a particular role... I'll take a shot. We need bodies frankly.

    Probably only take this shot if we get a max FA though.

    Only as a vet min. Hate to see us use cap or exception on a likely mid season washout.

    Melo as everyone knows him....Absolutely not. That Melo is gone and should not be expected from anyone.

    Carmelo, the off the bench, 2nd unit spark, rebounder, if he’s on play him if he’s not sit on the bench, vet with playoff experience. Yea I’d take that for the vet min.

    But that role needs to be clearly defined and agreed to. It will be the only way he can resurrect his career or the Big 3 is calling.

    It irks me that folks care so much about bringing in functional bodies to protect our LABronold McDonold, Pels second rate med staff abused AD and Kawhi Loadnord investments.

    It's what also irked me about the deal not having the #4 pick aggregated to complete in August. You need to keep (and add) as many bodies and assets on our roster as possible. We're building a postseason team...so get/keep as many regular season bodies in the mix as you can.

    Melo, as Bron insurance, on a vet min is fine by me. Why y'all acting like Presti/George or MDA/Morey in all of this, acting like those teams weren't flawed even after they dropped Melo. I want to see Melo rise, to make their drops even more pronounced.

    Btw pound4pound, I'm just playing off your "irk" trope. Don't mean no disrespect bro.

    I've mentally accepted that he will be a part of the team.

    Hahaha...I totally agree that it's a bad signing if they touch any of our cap. But if guys like JR and Melo come for the vet min (which we can waive at any time during the year), in don't see the problem in doing that when we need bodies to round out a potential Bron/AD/3rdmax team.

    Plus it's LA and even a guy like Korver can get caught up in the LA thirst trap out here. Why not let JR make it more interesting for us with Lavar gone now haha? Just killing the league every night on the floor could get stale in LA. You need guys like Lance to make it interesting. But come May, those leashes get all the way tight otherwise it's off to the kennel they go. #NoSoupForYou

    Don’t mention soup, you know JR has a thing about throwing that in someone’s face.

    I'd rather have Lance back than go for Melo. Ugh...and he better be had for the vet's min!

    Why do I feel like we're going to use part of our exception to sign him? I just have this BAD feeling...

    He honestly does not fit this group...had we traded Kuzma, yes, he fits. But he's such an odd fit with this group...idk.

    We're just going to bring all of LeBron's former teammates and buddies now huh...
