You’re very optimistic. I fully expect the suns to pay Carmelo the full MLE.Split T wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 10:20 amMaybe we’re up to something and gonna snag Bogdan...If you sign and trade Baynes at 8.5 million and add Okobo to the deal, you can start his salary at 15 million in the first year. Doubt he wants to come off the bench here though. He can probably start in NY or ATL
Haha, I’m trying to be...I think the chances of this are less thsn 1% though.Wally_West wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 10:25 amYou’re very optimistic.

I’m thinking about Melo...he actually looked pretty good with Portland last year. But he still thinks he’s 10 years ago Melo at times. If you could guarantee me that he’d just take open shots, attack close outs, crash the glass, and at least try on defense, I’d take him. But he’d still turn into a black hole at times on offense and that I don’t want. I guess we can tell him we’ll just bench you or waive you if you start doing that.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 10:56 amMelo not welcome here despite CP3’s bestie.

Dude, I live in Portland. They don’t want his ass back. And yes he made some shots. Dame gets all the credit for his leadership.Split T wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 11:01 amI’m thinking about Melo...he actually looked pretty good with Portland last year.

Wasn’t really trying to make a case for him. Just mentally preparing myself in case. He didn’t hurt Portland. If you say that’s because of Dame, I’ll believe you. Think CP3 could actually corral him more than Lillard. Lots of options I’d prefer over him still.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 11:04 amDude, I live in Portland. They don’t want his ass back.
