Btw, i was reffering to baby-bear, talk like a baby and i will treat u like one
Stop talking like u know what Melo will do because winning is his #1 priority and we will have the same roster we had this year + MLE (5m if Melo walks and 3m if he stays)
Add Melo on to any of those teams with less tax listed above and their roster is at least 3x better than him staying on the Knick
Look at those rosters, whether with young talent, future assets, solid role players and stars, DEF or OFF, they are all better than our roster
Only way we can build a contending team witn Melo is if he takes less in 2015 while recruiting stars to play with us
This would make sense if he doesnt opt out since his salary is over 23m next season however he has stated multiple times that he in fact will opt out
With that said, he will walk if being a contender is more important than the extra year and money
I beleive he already has a sense of idea where he wants to go already
He doesnt want to be traded at this point because he doesnt want to find a place to live etc, for a rental
CA has learned that he needs much talent around him in order to be a contender both with STARs and role players
He has learned his chances of winning a ring is increased if he signs with a team like D12 and The Heat (they were traded in the end but for much under their value as the Heat had the cap room to sign them
However this would ALL be at the expense if NYK
This horrible weather this winter in NYK with our losing season surely would effect his decision with FA
Our best option at this point is to send him out West to a team with the All Stars that can convince him to stay, with the assets and salary to trade for him preferably takig Felton with him
That team would be the Rockets who has plenty of draft picks to offer us and
Beverely
Harden
Parsons
Melo
D12
Terrence Jones
D Montouise
MLE
Some solid
Vet mins and development players with Robert Covington and Isiah
Cannon
Many draft picks including some this year on this deep draft
Take back Lin, Asik, draft picks
Move Chandler or/and AB, Felton(with Melo) MWP and Pablo to OKC for Perkins and picks
Trade Udrih, Cole Alrich, Kmart (who could possibly land us a late 2nd rounder)
See what Tyler and Murry, would do with minutes
Tank for next season for a top 5 pick and preseve cap room, setting a plan for 2015 UFA's
This summer, also utlize the MLE with talent to fill one of our holes that could be used for after 2015, also look to fill our roster with continue development player like Patty Mills, Jamrs Johnson
Most importantly change our entire coaching staff and management President of Operations/GM to attract players to want to come to NYK
Dolan must stay our of decision making in order to do attract ALl STARS
However, he should utilize his money, power, networks, MSG channel, and business oppurtunities for future players to come and take less
Look at making a reality TV show for MSG channel, with other shows...
1 1/2 years is nothing and i truly believe we can become
Championship contendere if we followed the above
I have plans on how to execute this if Dolan would hear my plan out...
However we only have about 48 hours left to do so...
