Realistically there is absolutely nothing we can do until after next season. we have no cap space and no draft picks

And your point is what??

I thought it was pretty clear that we cant do anything to appease Melo NOW because we dont have the resources to get another star at the present time. Im talking from the real world

How do you know Melo wants it all done next season??

This one is for you Holfresh....
Okay, here is an example if CA is willing to take less, though it is unlikely to go through

Trade AB for Perkin's, expiring's in Sefelosha, Thabeet, and some assets like one of their young guys and a 1st rounder, possibly unloading Pablo/MWP
Trade Tyson Chandler, with Felton, for expirings, cap relief, Felton and/or whoever else is on the books, to Sun's, including Iman Shumpert

Do do some of the above, we might even have to use some of the assets attained and future picks.......

Using the stretch provision on STAT and whoever else like Pablo, etc, like 10 years on STAT contract, making it -2.5 per year of the entire cap

We would go way under the cap and be able to sign some players, though they would likely ALL have to take less in order to come to NYK
Trade JR or not? At 5-6m he could outproduce his contract and right now he will not net back much till he shows his old physical abilities and hunger he had last season....

I cannot think of any other way of why Melo would stay if we cannot make major changes to our lineups

In addition, we would have many roster spots open, and would have to find many vet min steals much like Laker's have done this season, with PT available though I would prefer to change the coach because NO ONE wants to play in Woodson's ISO system but Melo and JR

Or maybe I talk like someone not hung up on Gallo or still mourning him...This will never happen in Lakerland...
