I don't see him getting any contract offer above min vet 1 year!

cmon... you really think he's opting out of almost $30mm??? He's gonna collect his big pay day then take some MLE type deal for some team he's gonna say he's always wanted to be a part of

He may retire after this contract runs out.

he's not opting out of that contract, he would be damn fool.

I said 5 yrs ago he would never win a ring until he was role player, like 7th man role player.

He'll be brought next feb, and hatch on to where ever Labron is at

I suppose the old "He is an expiring contract" don't fly anymore!!

Pretty much. He may actually struggle to get a MLE deal after this season, assuming he stays the same or slightly declines further. He will probably remain starter for this season in OKC, then next summer sign with a Lebron team or Houston as a reserve for the LLE or Minimum and have some long speech about what he has accomplished and how he's ready for the next phase of his career (referring to being a reserve player and not making big money.) He won't have a choice. He may not have it next season either. The sun has set on him as a star in the league and at 34 there's nothing really wrong with that. The only problem will be if he refuses to accept that.

"After his contract runs out" meaning *after* he opts in and collects the rest if his contract. He may retire due to not willing to accept a bench role.

And bruh, you wanted to draft Dennis Smith jr and sign Rajon Rondo believing that we would be a playoff team. Since all we had to do was ditch the triangle. You have been throwing a fit about trading Melo away. Bashing the front office for it. Now all of a sudden. He is a 7th man on a cha.pionship team. If that's how you felt then you would have been happy we got what we got for him.

we've seen nba stars do that before...

... that said Melo has always put himself first and is all about getting paid. So what i see is him opting in and forcing a buyout a la DWade

I'd trade for him, Hardaway and Lee. We can super tank this year and free up a crap load of cap space

Oh so you’re willing yo put up with the wincing faces he makes everytime he doesn’t have the ball. Quite frequently on defense actually.

I want out from Mills awful Hardaway contract. Not a bad player just putrid timing
