So I've combed through every single team's roster and payroll. There is literally not a single team besides the Hawks that has both the cash and the roster space to sign Clint.

Am I missing something here?

$18M a year, average, with incentives? I think he's looking for probably at least $20.

That's why we haven't made a deal yet because we can't "pay the man".

Getting Capela for under 20m for 5 years is a steal.

Ennis is a great replacement for Luc. A little younger and played for Bzdelik in Memphis.

If we end up getting Melo, I'm sure I will convince myself that it's a good thing if it happens, at least before the season starts, but all I can see right now is another Dwight Howard.

At this point, as currently constructed, we are not beating the Warriors. It's worth the gamble on the off chance something finally clicks with him. Not betting on it but I see why we would do it. Feels like a boom or bust move.

Maybe it will be one of those things that works out because not a lot of people think it will

I'm only onboard with this because there's no risk involved. He can either cooperate with our team or he can be waived for minimal loss.

What's the worst that can happen? If he's on a minimum contract and he causes problems he will either be traded or cut. He has no power in this organization and his beloved no trade clause is gone.

I absolutely don't want Melo. I think he's a pipe dream who has a better chance of screwing up chemistry and causing problems than being even mediocre in our system.

Hope I'm wrong.

Hmm let's see just off the top of my head.. A General Manager that's hell bent on a certain player playing for his team and Chris Paul one of Melo's best friends fights for Melo to stay on the team through his drama and bad habits and whining for playing time disrupts the culture of the Rockets organization and sends the team on a 20 game spiral of let's say 8-12 and puts the rockets in a position to have to fight for seeding down the road at the end of the season sacrificing rest for an MVP player and another all star caliber guy who has already injured himself from lack of time management on the court. Idk what do you think?

I think the odds we when the championship without Melo are tiny. I think the odds we win the championship with Melo are slightly less tiny because of the very small chance of Melo's upside. Obviously, Melo is a risk to cause other issues and could ultimately lead us to not meeting expectations. But I'm at the point I don't care if we win 60-65 then lose in the WCF in 5/6 vs win 55-60 and lose in the 2nd round. It is all about doing everything we can to win it all and in this case it means beating GS.

A team that went 41-3 when its three best players played together will go 8-12 over a twenty game stretch because of ONE player? How is that even possible?

So I guess you think Golden State screwed up by signing Cousins because of the same reasons?
