Well, to me this seals it - now he's free to move on somewhere. He should go to Cleveland and try to get a ring with Bron. Or the Clippers to try to get CP3 out of the second round.

...if the Clippers flounder I wouldn't ve surprised to see CP3 bolt to SAS this offseason. If that happens....I'm not even sure there'd even be much of a market left for Melo.

That's true. I dunno. I think I could see CP3 rather playing with Melo in LA than going to San Antonio... but no real clue where CP3's head is. I've heard some theories the Clips would trade for Melo and also try to move Blake in a different deal to get another piece and shake things up.

I wonder if the Wizards might be an option again.

They're staring at maxing out Otto Porter and having very limited flexibility to improve, capwise. Melo's from Baltimore, could sell it as a pseudo return home.

Melo can just keep "Going Home" To Wiz, then in two years.......Finish his career back in Denver. Just keep "Going Home".......

If CP3 stays with LAC, they will have positioned themselves to commit $40 million (per year) to a 36 year old PG that has often been injured as a younger man. That ain't a recipe for success, which is why I think that the Clippers would prefer rolling the dice with Griffin instead of CP3 despite CP3 obviously being better. And if you're committing to Blake and his best friend DeAndre Jordan, I don't think you also bring in Melo- who is a bit redundant.

As for Melo to WAS, its a possibility. It's only a stonesthrow away from NYC, which is likely where his kid would be. But even with him, I can't see that team being more than a flash-in-the-pan. If I were to make a bet on it, I'd predict he heads to CLE to play with LeBron, JR and Iman. He's probably vulnerable emotionally with the divorce and more likely than not, will want to go to an environment that doesn't force him to be in the spotlight and a place where he can be supported by close friends. To be honest, wouldn't be surprised to see Kyrie and Love flipped for the ability to add all of CP3, Melo, and Wade this offseason. Irving and Blake Griffin would likely be a better pairing to highlight all what Blake brings to the floor.

I just don't see them movzing on from Porter. They would have to lose in round one badly before I could see them saying they wanted to move on from Porter, and honestly they could probably get a better deal than Melo for him.
