I think they offered him that after the Nurfic deal. Probably weren’t expecting the Lavine deal right after

Went up 25 mil, in this case that’s not being cheap. Letting Luc go wasneing cheap
Nice pick-up. Luc replacement. Not as good of a defender, but younger and more athletic. Also a better shooter than Luc is, and I'm sure he'll get even better looks than he has throughout his career. In theory, should fit our scheme. Brings a lot of grit too. Type of defender that gets up in your grill.
Good look out, I heard they were to make a decision on him by today. I just never got any update on my phone until now. I wonder if were still interested in Nick Young

Sounds like Rockets want Melo off the bench, we might lose out on him too if that's the case....
If Melo isn't willing to come off the bench (if that's what we're asking him of), it's probably better he doesn't come here. That would mean he's not willing to sacrifice his role to win and just wants the numbers and touches. I'm good with that. His ego would be working overtime.
I don't even know why he's tripping. Him coming off the bench is probably the best for his career right now and he's still going to get a ton of minutes.
Anyways, if we add Ennis and Melo and reach a deal with Clint, at worst our floor becomes a lateral move, but our ceiling is higher. Not to mention you still have Ryno available to trade for another wing player.
Let's see what else Morey has in store.
A younger fresher healthier Luc is perfectly fine and exactly what's needed. Now get Ryno/Nene outta here.
Also so something saying OKC/Nets are trying to make a swap of Melo and Lin, with Melo getting bought out. There's possible picks involved too.
Does Melo have a no trade clause still, or was that lost when he went to OKC?
think he lost that once he went to okc
He has a NTC but I think he'd waive it if the Nets would buy him out once they got him.After a quick Google it looks like he still has it (if this article is correct) the article is outdated a bit, but it shows him being on OKC. So I doubt he waves it to go to NJ. Plus wouldn't he stand to make more money, if hes stretched or even bought out, and signs another contract. I doubt Melo wants to leave much money on the table.

Ryno for Batum?
Ryno for Bazemore?
I'd do the Bazemore trade same length as Ryno, but they'd have to sweeten the deal alot with Batum hes still got 3 years left on his deal, IMO his contact is worse than Ryno...
Batum when engaged is pretty damn good though much better than ariza
Would def prefer Bazemore just due to age and athleticism. Batum may be better, but he has the same movements as Ariza, where he is susceptible to get blown right past for baskets.
