I guess the Hawks really wanted Shroeder gone. Sounds like the guy is a complete douchenozzle.

Thought TLC had some potential to turn into a rotational player at some point, but I guess the Sixers weren't as high on him. Anderson was never going to see alot of PT. Really like the ability of Muscala in terms of shooting. I could see him sliding into the roll of Ilyasova from last season.

I still can't believe the Knicks were able to unload Melo. God bless the Thunder.

Everything I've heard is that Carmelo is really popular with the players. His problem is his ego hasn't caught up with this age.

It's funny because the one guy who can shoot in this deal is not going to OKC. I don't understand why OKC wouldn't want Muscala back. He's like an ideal backup big who can shoot and help space the floor for Westbrook.

Like I said when this almost exact deal was rumored a couple of days ago, I don't really like the fit of Schroder in OKC. He can't really shoot (at least from distance), is an average to below average defender, and needs the ball in his hands a lot to be effective. That works for some places, but I'm not sure it works next to Westbrook. I liked the Muscala fit much better and I'm shocked they are sending him out. He's a sneaky effective role player. As a center that can shoot 3s, he'd be very nice piece for OKC to work in when Adams sits or any lineup where they need to space the floor more. I'd much rather have him than TLC, who is still somehow very raw. Muscala will be solid pick up for the Sixers. But despite the fit issues, the most important thing for OKC is they got out from Melo's cap hold for the next several years. That's a win by itself regardless of whether Schroder fits or not

OKC signed Noel to backup Adams.

I imagine that OKC fans hate giving up a draft pick, even a protected one, but I guess that's what it took to get Melo out of town.

You do realize he is their 6th man and won't be starting next to Russ right?
