oh stop! im joking!

NY sends- 4th pick, Calderon, and future 2nd

Cha sends - 9th pick, Stephenson, 39th pick, and 2016
1st protected

Charlotte will get to draft Winslow or maybe pair Stein with Jefferson.

I have a lot of sauces. Just a gut feeling. I actually wouldn't be made at that if Jim Buss doesn't shock the World and take Mudiay 2 as the Kobe heir apparent.

I would gladly pass on Mudiay, Winslow, and Stein to get the Hornets pick this year and a draft pick next year for taking Lance. Maybe Kristaps fall or I can take Johnson and play him as a more athletic Draymond Green. He'll likely be bigger than Green it will come down to his ability to want to defend bigger players.

+1 again. Getting rid of Calderon should be secondary to maximizing our cache of assets. Now that the dust has settled, I think the proper course of action would be to trade down to further this end. And a team like the Hornets are run poorly enough for us to disproportionately benefit from a trade with them.

Draft Winslow 4th. He starts at the 3 and Melo at the 4. Target either Koufos or Ajinca in free agency, don't really care which one, should probably cost $9M-ish of our $26M available. Either of them starts at 5. Target Biyombo at about $6M. Worst case scenario he's a very good defensive big on the bench. Best case scenario he turns into Marcus Camby. That leave about $11M in cap space. Tell Jimmy Dolan to go **** himself and try to bring in Lin for around $5M or $6M. Throw the rest of our money at Lou Williams or Mo Williams.

Not really interested in Monroe who seems like a good stats on a bad team kind of guy. Like Shareef Abdur Rahim. Definitely not interested in Rondo who hasn't had a single positive moment on the court in 3 seasons. I like Tobias Harris but not at the money it will take to get him away from Orlando. Don't expect anything from Thanasis.

That gives us a lineup of

PG: Lin
SG: Galloway
SF: Winslow
PF: Melo
C: Ajinca/Koufos
Bench: Biyombo, THJr, Lou/Mo Williams

That gives us a very diverse lineup that allows us to match up with a lot of different teams. We can go big with Koufos/Ajinca and Biyombo up front, Melo @ 3, and Winslow @ 2. We can go super small with Lin-Williams-Galloway-Winslow-Biyombo. That's a team good enough offensively and defensively to be a top 4 or 5 team in the crappy East.

folks Melo is NOT being traded in the near future

Unless he demands one. That's a legit possibility if we suck again next season, also a legit possibility. Then we get to experience what Orlando and Toronto went through with Dwight and Vince.

Fuck him. He got his money; he gets traded if its good for us, not otherwise.

exactly. if trading melo nets us a bunch of assets that help us and it makes sense, then it should be completed ASAP
