2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

Still, Houston, the media and NBA Twitter vilified this guy.

I would love to troll the league and pick this guy up after we make a trade so that we can parade our cast of cast-off's and drag the league in the MUD with them.

I'm still eyeing Markieff with a Beas/Zu deal...



And then with the open roster spot...hello Melo?

 

Melo to the Lakers is a high-speed freight-train I will gladly throw my body in front of.

 

Probably would release Zubac?

Please lord no Melo.

 

I guess here's a better optic for y'all.

We know Luke has an affinity towards small ball...so would you rather see Bron/Kuz bang against bigs on the low block or would you rather see Melo do it in limited minutes.

Not to mention, Melo does not shy away from the block and is a decent option as a small ball 5 from there.

 

How about.....

 

Couldn't be worse than Zubac.

 

Zubac doesn't mess with team chemistry. A zero is better than a net negative.

 

Kinda like Houston's chemistry is much better now that Melo isn't there...

 

I think one needs to account for all places a player has been, and look at the collective results.

Personally I think there is enough smoke to be fire, and if the dude no longer plays D, why bother?

 

Is NY really balling now without Melo? Did Noah give back money in a buyout like Deng did with us? I mean the FO forced Melo out and he didn't make it a distraction when he easily could have made it a s*** show. Only cancers in NY are the ones refusing Oakley entry.

Dude agreed to help OKC out with Shroeder ...and just look at what they're saying about Melo after the fact:



Agreed to play with MDA's ridiculous no mid-range rule and agreed to come off the bench in Htown...

Dude has been professional at every stop. This cancer narrative is ridiculous and completely unwarranted...which is why Bron is trying to give his guy some light to rectify this shoddy narrative.

 

If you are a good GM and care about signing future vets, you say nice things about every guys when he leaves the team under any circumstance. You'll have to pardon me if I skip or gloss over the puff up words and stick to the facts.

The facts: Go away Me7o, we don't need you. (3 Places and counting) amirite?

I just don't see the value that he brings that outweighs the potential negative if three teams said "No mas"

What has you confident it would be a wise decision?

 

So every team has a glowing history of success... amirite?

OKC blew up a title team and loses Harden and KD in the process.

NY LKnicks...realky...btw the K isnt the only think that's silent there...so are the title parades.

Houston...their title run seems like a Dream now. Morey's Rockets are only known for advanced metrics...seems like he's covering up for other deficiencies.

But let's take those losing organizations in how they treat their personnel as the gold standard...ya serious?

 

You didn't answer the question. You can question my take all you want. Why DO YOU THINK it's a GOOD idea?

I'm not sure I could take anyone serious who thinks it's a good idea. Not that it happens to be a problem in this scenario anyways....

:Joshharthearthands:

And since Me7o signed for basically the minimum, why not just waive him? Why aren't all of these interested teams lining up to sign him or trade for him? ***crickets***

But no, we must be the ones to ignore all of the warning signs? I'll pass bro. I don't see the risk being worth it. I see zero upside. I'll side with all of the bball insiders and GM's who are also taking a pass at this time.

 

I'm refuting the faulty narrative:

Doesn't play D, yet had an equal defensive rating to Russ, Paula and Adams last year. Also he wasn't the worst on Htown this year and was within a touch of Tucker and Capela.

Funny that it's NBA twiiter and media that paints this image of Melo, yet actual ballers (other than the banana boat crew) stand up for dude:

As for why not just waive him? Cause Morey is looking at him like an asset and needs to wait till Dec15 to trade dude rather than waive him and eat that much more luxury tax ($2.50 for every $1 over the tax theshold).

As for why I wouldn't mind him here (which I already detailed in previous posts..try reading bro haha)...pick him up with either a Zu trade or pick him up with our extra roster spot after a 2for1 trade like Markieff for Beas/Zu.

I do it knowing that Luke likes to go small and would rather see Melo sacrifice his body/energy in that role rather than Bron/Kuz.

A fresh and healthy Bron is the main reason to do this since it would take his name out the small ball 5 hat completely.

Also I'm ego trippin and would love to prove all the hatahs and media wrong by taking yet another cast-off and turning him into a contributor towards a playoff team (like Lance, Beas and Rondo).

 

Using stuff like Cowherd and Skip to prove a point...bro that's just lazy and your NBA card should be revoked.

Come at me with something worth a damn, otherwise don't come at me at all.

 

Kind of funny you're using Stephen Jackson as an authority on the subject, when he dealt with the same thing. His time in the league was cut short not because he couldn't play, but because he wasn't wanted.

It hurts, but it happens for a reason.

Cowturd > Stephen Jackson



Could Melo work for us?

 

Even if the media is wrong about Melo (they're not), we have too many forwards. We need backup guards who can shoot 3's besides Hart. I'd pick up Nick Young off the scrap heap before I'd pick up Melo.
