The second we put our 2018 first rounder on the table, we already have Houston crushed as far as an offer. Assets are not the issue, it's getting Rondo, AD and Boogie on a plane to convince Melo that is the problem.

Personally I would not give up the 2018 1st rounder for him unless the deal included Asik at a minimum.

If you could cleanup some of our dead weight contracts along with a couple first, I'm all for it. There would be 2 scoring options on the floor at all time. I just wonder if his 3pt percentage is good enough for what we want (about 35%). Worse case Carmelo doesn't like it here but then he should be easy to move.

I don't see why not because that's what it would take to get him no first rounder next year is gonna help this team any time soon or help keep this group together .

I'm such a defiant, contrarian, hearing from guys like Bryan in NOLA East or MM that there's no shot makes me want to want Melo. Even though I'm not really bullish on him at all.

Because I think we would have the potential to get somethng better than Melo (33 year old 1 year rental) with our 1st at the deadline. Now if we unloaded Asik in the deal, that may sway me.

I would seriously consider Asik, Hill, Diallo, Moore, 2018 1st for Melo.

Can someone tell me why would NY make this trade?

I don't they would. I would think we would need to add another pick. The 2018 first would be required just to unload Asik on them. But like I said, stranger things have happened.

Plus it's more than Houston could offer.

Just need to convince Melo to come here.

They wouldn't. And Melo wouldn't agree to come to NOLA.

Which is why y'all are wasting your time. Go enjoy the sunshine.

Oh Yay. He's back.

C'mon, guys. We all promised to stop playing with Lemarchand's Box. This is what happens. Hope you're proud.

Time enjoyed is not time wasted.

Let me get this correct. So its perfectly fine to speculate about a Lin or Bledsoe trade for a month but for casual fans to discuss a Melo trade that personally I don't think will happen but wouldn't be shocked if it did is wasting time, lol. Weather it happens or not it's a fan message board for the purpose of fans discussing the team they enjoy. So unless its a couple fans bickering back and forth I wouldn't call it "wasting time". Unless you get paid for it I prefer the term hobby. No different than any fan besides trolls posting on this board no matter the "rumor" or flavor of the day.

Like Steven A Smith and the other guy say, Carmelo and the Pelicans is not a good idea:

1) Plenty of people would have laughed at the compensation that we actually used to get him if someone suggested that exact trade. (It falls right in line with the PG trade, they got him for what? Seriously?)
B) Thats why I changed the second sentence

Well, if Steven A said it, then Dell should do this trade immediately! Lol

So let me get this straight it wouldn't work in new Orleans bc there aren't enough balls but some how some way it would work in Houston??? Makes complete sense also apparently he's not watching boogie and his passes to ad or anyone else last year interesting

Their reasoning might be wrong but it doesnt mean the idea of Melo coming here isnt wrong. The dude is a selfish ball hog who doesnt make others better and also plays no defense. And has a big ego
