Cp3 is a free agent.... Melo is on the cusp of being traded...

Chicago could sign and trade Rondo to the Clippers for CP3...
The Bulls want to get rid of Butler... Maybe they ship him for Melo?

That's just one scenerio... there's ways the Bulls could get Melo without trading Butler. The bulls have plenty of young players, so they could just rebuild. Or they can Starphuch...

Melo, Wade, Rolo. Cp3?... maybe they keep Butler... Stranger things have happened

Why would the Bulls want to part with Butler? If so, I'd LOVE that idea. I'd even give them back their second rounder and throw in KoQ or Kuz to make it happen.

Why Chicago?

Why wouldn't the natural place be LA; I'm sure Wade could find a way to get there too (Bosch too)

Clippers can't get Melo and Wade without trading Blake. They don't have enough picks or young players either. Chicago has all of the moveable pieces to make it happen.

I dunno why. There was a report yesterday saying he was as good as gone

Fun stuff to consider, and no need to punch holes in it. Its a fun concept to ponder!

It would be a godsend to the Knicks for us to get something of real value for Melo. Butler is a ****ing stud. Would dramatically rev-up our rebuild. Add in Lonzo Ball or DFox and we'd have something.

Heck I'd give the Bulls Lee+Melo+2nd rounder for Butler and trash if they wanted.

That's what we'll need to happen. Every time you look at it it well make more sense. Even looking at it from the Clippers side. They lose CP3 but get Rondo and whoever else takes the ride. Not sure how sign and trades rules changed with the new contract. Should be straight forward.

We'd have to give them Melo and a high draft pick I'll bet. I think I'd be up for it. He's a top 5 SG, maybe better, and plays monster D. We would really be onto something then.

I'd offer the 2020 protected to 5, but not really interested in giving away up coming picks. Carmelo Anthony ain't exactly pocket change.

Because he likes Oakley. Sadly, I'm not kidding.

I think this could happen and it did, it'd be in LA. But I don't know if any of them are ready to take a big paycut to make it happen yet.

It works best un chicago. Wade is already getting paid. Melo is still under contract... cp3 would be signed and traded so they all would be making around the same. Cp3 actually would get more in the sign and trade at like 28 million. The salary cap is larger than in the past so it actually fits under the cap.

It doesn't work for the clippers cuz they would have to trade Blake and gut the roster for wade and Melo. Not a good look

I could see the Clippers maybe doing a sign and trade of CP3 for Butler... not Rondo though.

I don't know. It'd be interesting.

Wade has a player option, no?

Chicago looks to have around $24m in space. Maybe we could take Lopez and Rondo!

LA makes the most sense - Melo and his Albatross contract heads there - we get Crawford & Austin Rivers.

Wade opts out of his Chicago deal, heads there signs for the vet min. They keep Blake & Paul.

PG= Chris Paul
SG = Wade
SF = Melo
PF = Griffin
C = Jordan

That is a friggin unreal line up!

Make it happen! I want to see that! Definitely got some age, but wow.

Wade is not signing the vet minimum. No chance. That's why he signed in Chicago and not Miami.

could be and he has, if I'm not mistaken, taken slightly less money at times to accomodate.

But if you had a chance to play with Paul, Melo, Blake and Jordan, I'd pay $20M to be part of that. And in LA? Miami is nice, but nothing compared to LA. I would love to see it happen. It's hard, especially with Melo and his trade kicker.

Wade is to old to be influential. But plot away plot away my good man.
