2017 NBA Offseason Thread

I don't get why NY doesn't just trade Melo for Love straight up. NY could play Love at PF and Porzy at C. They'd light it up in Horny's offense.

(Except in the olympics where he was great).

Gotta take into consideration the level of competition in the Olympics.

I think NY would do that in a second. No way Cavs would though.

Melo wants out bad and the Knicks don't want to pay him $30 mill next season. They don't have a ton of leverage.

Oh, definitely. Also, the shortened 3 in international rules really plays into Melo's game.

 

[trojanfan12]

You may be right. We've never seen Melo's shooting percentages as a primarily spot-up shooter and 3rd option on a good team. (Except in the olympics where he was great).

Even if he is just another Kevin Love... I'll take it. 2 Kevin Loves isn't a bad thing, especially since they wouldn't be giving much up to get him (Except for a bunch of penalty money from Gilbert's pocket)

I could be wrong...but wouldn't Kevin Love be who the Knicks would be trading for?

Oh okay. I thought the Cavs had offered that.

I thought so also.

 

[trojanfan12]

Just getting down to 350 would help a lot. 500-600 pounds is danger zone scary......is he a pro wrestler?

lol No. 350 is his current goal.

No. Cavs wouldn't do that. Not unless there were more pieces involved.

It would probably be a 3rd team giving them a young guy, or Melo would be one piece of a few the Cavs would get for Kyrie (again in a 3 team trade).

 

[DJ Fieri]

My former boss used to be 325-350 pounds and now he could be on the cover of GQ. He works out a lot and is an extreme sport guy......requires a total lifestyle makeover.

Forgot about Kyrie being traded. I was thinking about salary, but the Cavs would essentially be trading Kyrie's salary for Melo's.

lol Right now he just needs to get to 350 and see where he goes from there.

This isn't true at all, you just have to get the diet coke.

Vile is my new BFF!!!!

Dude, I called dibs on him long ago.

I also stamped my name on @Heatles84 ass.

So, don't get any ideas about pivoting that direction.

That is a shit trade for the Cavs unless they get that rookie pg, whose name I don't want to butcher, or shed JR
/Shump contract.

They keep saying they want a productive get and something for the future.

Unless they meant cap room, yuck on a straight up swap.

My post was more about the salaries and why I thought it would be Love for Melo. I'd expect that there would be more involved, but the bulk of the trade, salary wise, would be Kyrie for Melo.

Personally, I just don't see how Melo going to the Cavs makes them better, even if they keep Love.

I get mine with grilled onions and A 1 steak sauce.

Super yummy!!!!

They have great milkshakes too.

Awww, no milkshakes at 5 Guys locally.

One of my go-to options is A1, raw onions, pickles, lettuce (and bacon of course). Not a fan of grilled onions (mostly texture).

 

[shopson67]

Cooking is overrated. Don't need to be able to cook to eat well. Granted, my wife does 80% of meal prep at my house, but on days where I am in charge of my own food I don't cook anything. I still eat reasonably well.

If eating out, there are plenty of better choices, just often more expensive. For fast and cheap, you can do alright at places like Chipotle and Subway.

F Subway. I'd rather go to just about any other sub shop. Subway gives you like two slices of meat on any given sub.

LOL at DJ being the pivot between Vyle and Heatles

Only way I'd eat at Subway is if my only other choice was that kale shit that @DJ been drankin'.
