    TPE can only be used in a trade. Which goes back to...who do we have left to trade? Schroder and Tucker. but Talen is a 2 year RFA..his outging salary is half of the 5.9 MLE tops.

    LOL Cookie …. sooo much out of the ordinary …. in common! Heck yeah I know what Donzis are. How long? Can’t believe you owned one.

    Word of caution beware the cumulative effects of years of boats on water going fast no windshields and loud music same period. Tinnitus says hello. Always knew about the music and tried to be sensible about that with protection but never thought twice about the wind buffeting from boats until I read about it several years ago. Will have to PM you to find out more about that amazing boat you had.

    well, what do we have now?

    gasol/dwight
    AD/nada
    lebron/bazemore/mckinnie/arizascorpse
    ellington/hellifiknow
    westbrook/noidea

    feel like melo is actually the last thing we currently need?

    we have three backup sfs, none of whom is really reliable, and no credible backups at 1, 2, and 4.

    I have a feeling Melo resigns with Blazers. Its not meant to be.

    I would also think Melo would be a done deal by now if he was willing to take the minimum.

    Bazemore...Ellington... They talk the need for shooters. This is a couple. Now if they can actually make 'em.

    there's certainly a theme. his offensive numbers were generally bad, though--but that can be a quirk if he didn't share the floor with steph enough or something.

    i don't hate it at all. but all pickups are filed under "not caruso" right now.
