I think the best option is to blow it up. Get something for Melo while his value is way up.

Would you do this trade?
I would offer this trade to Cleveland which would pair Melo with Kyrie Irving and they have their Bosh type player in Varejao which would play well with Melo.
Melo for Speights, Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters, Alonzo Gee, CLE 1st round pick 1st overall, both CLE 2nd round picks 31st and 33rd overall.
Why would CLE do this? This will leave CLE with a 1st round pick 19th overall so they still have some yoot coming in. They now will have a big 3 in Melo, Irving and Varejao that will actually work well together. They will also have some cap to sign a very good big in the mold of Al Jefferson or Paul Milsap. This roster will actually put them in the playoffs.
Why do we do this? We get their 1st round pick 1st overall. We get 2 young lottery players in Waiters and Thompson. We get 2 early 2nd round picks. We get yoothier right away.
We can then select Nerlens Noel with the 1st pick. Select Giannis Adetokoubo with the 24th pick. Select Muscala with the 33rd pick. Select Nate Wolters with the 31st pick.
Send Tyson out for the best offer.
