My guess is phill can layout a plan that shows the more he makes, the more problematic the roster.
They need to also show him objectively how the same monies would effect other teams he might deem to be a good fit.
Melo said "grass is not always greener" and would have to see that him on Houstan seems nice with a trio of stars, but what is the rest of the bench like? What worked with Miami don't always work elsewhere. In Chicago, you have Noah with chronic foot problems, DRose a big question mark and again with a trio of big salary what is the bench look like? Noah is banged up every year and going 4 series in the playoffs is not easy task.
Everywhere you turn the new CBA can get you paid but "winning" is a tougher gig.
Its getting harder to predict teams. Who thought Toronto in a rebuilding year does so well? Nalod picked both Washington and Cleveland to "be playoff contenders" but just one did actually progress their. Out west, PHX wins 48 games and can't get in while Portland surges as second year Lillard becomes a true star! While Nets sold that pick out for Crash, think 7 teams might want to redue that draft? Maybe portland wanted to trade that pick but could not get value. It was a weird draft. At the same time Aldridge who rumored to want out turns out to be a MVP contender and a playoff beast!! For all we know Minny is one player away from being a winning team! Golden state looks like they are one bad ankle away from being sub .500 if Curry slows down again.
