I could see a tanking team looking to butts in the seats giving him a decent one year deal if he can stay healthy. Some one like ATL.

And, the worst part about your idea is if somehow you are right, he becomes a dilemma between benching a vet that has no future with you that fans like, vs. securing your draft slot. The only reason he kinda worked for the Celtics was because they had him in a pick swap year. | ||

2015 #2 2016 #2 2017 #2 I'd say they did ok, at getting high picks. | ||

HOU lost Ariza to PHO HOU lost Mbah la Bamba to LAC but... HOU will get Me70. I don't know how over the hill Melo is, but while there are 99 reasons against him, there is one positive in that he was really not able to play to his strengths in OKC (controversial opinion since he got 4-5 wide open threes per game in OKC on very low usage). But the hope is that with Houston's iso-centered system, with Paul as his "whisperer" he will flourish and be more effective. So that's the 1% hope that Houston fans can cling to. Gottdammit why would Morey do this? Is there some arcane knowledge to this acquisition? Why couldn't Melo just join his other banana boat buddy in Lakers to complete that meme squad! | ||

But at any rate you are playing for second anyhow so they have a shot at that! | ||

I think the rockets will still be top 4, but if they lose Capela they could drop. Way to early west top 8. Winning the title 1. GSW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Should be playoff locks (2,3,4,5) OKC, Min, NO, Hou, Fighting for 6,7,8 Por, Jazz, Nugs, LAL, Dal Sac doesn't have their pick either so I could see them trying to get there but I doubt them, because they are the kings. | ||

Feelings aside, I think the Lakers can make it. If their young guys just develop even remotely as expected they're a decent team. They just have a huge hole at Center I guess. | ||

That doesn't mean, however, that there's nothing to ponder and speculate about as the moratorium is about to be lifted. With five questions, let's take a look at the landscape of the league: | ||

But that guy was trying to straight up copy-paste this article in the thread: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-free-agency-2018-how-will-lebron-james-be-used-by-the-lakers-whats-up-in-washington-and-other-questions/ I almost thought he was a bot. He has 3 posts and never posted about any of the games discussed on TL. | ||

Also, not to jinx him but his run of incredible health seems unlikely to continue forever. And if he misses any games I could see them missing quite easily. | ||

Mark Cuban seems really determined to drag Nowitzki's cadaver to the playoffs one last time before they mummify him. Lots of win now moves from him. | ||

It makes sense, they traded their next year pick to ATL for Donic so doing bad won't help them and then next year there is 200 (compared to 120) FA and they will have lots of cap space. I'm a fan of the move I hate long tanks. | ||
