Would you trade MKG + Marvin = Melo??

He would have to waive his No Trade clause and I don't think he would for Charlotte, but it would be tempting..

Kemba - FA
Monk - FA
Batum - Lamb
Melo - Frank
Dwight - Zeller

I don't care what we get for Marvin. But I think he needs to go. He has a player option in 2019 worth 15 mil. If we don't trade him this season, he will be hard to trade next season with that whopper of a PO looming. We may be able to get something for him this season, but next season we may be paying someone to take him. He and Frank are the same player, and one of them will need to go. I'd rather it be Marvin.

In a heartbeat lol.

Yes but can he play PF? 

I do think we should find a way to move Marvin. I hate that contract for a backup

Melo plays the 4 often I think but I'd probably put him at SF and Batum at SG, let Monk come off bench.    Frank or Zeller (Frank please) would be the 4.

Rudy Gay, anyone?

I keep coming back around to him.. since his injury - i have cooled on the idea.. but that would be another temping choice.. I don't think he would cost much because of that injury = low risk/high reward

[SOJA]

Melo isn't going to want to play in Charlotte. He would consider himself the alpha dog and be a ball hog, taking shots away from Kemba and Monk and maybe more importantly from a team chemistry standpoint Dwight. 

Dwight is our former superstar, we don't need more than one ego in that room. 

If we're going to trade MKG/Marvin I would target a young player with potential that isn't working out on their current squad a la Deangelo Russell. Now I'm not saying the Lakers would have done Russell for those two but a similar situation.

If you want to get rid of Marvin here's a deal that kind of makes sense for both squads:

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y8r3kpqz

It's Marvin for Brandon Knight straight up. We free up minutes for Frank and MKG can play some PF in a death lineup with Batum at SF, Monk at SG. 

We get our backup PG. Money is extremely similar for both players. Suns get a veteran for a youngish locker room that fills a need for stretch 4 for them.

Marvin for Ricky Rubio straight up.

Yea i dont want Melo. I like someone like Rudy Gay more. No ego. 

But i hope you do know Russell was traded to Brooklyn right? Tell me you did

yes lol I'm saying a trade like that

Marvin for Ricky Rubio straight up.

Rubio would also be fine with me. Not sure how he would feel coming off the bench but he really doesn't have much of a choice I suppose.

I'd love it if Cho can figure out how to get Jeremy Lin back from Brooklyn. 

Accept Session's team option and package him and Jeremy Lamb for Lin. If they get greedy give them a future 2nd. Lin was an amazing compliment to Kemba and now that Russell is in Brooklyn, Lin's starting job isn't guaranteed. You can replace Lamb with a wing in free agency using the MLE.

I think some one here underestimate what Marvin brings to this squad.. He does have a bad contract - but it isn't garbage.. He plays solid D on a nightly basis, great on "Help D" too.. his 3pt shot took a dip from his career year he had 2 seasons ago, but that was to be expected.. He is our gritty hustle guy that can be effective at the 3pt line.. the problem is we have MKG in the starting lineup too.. no way you can have 2 hustle/glue guys in your starting lineup..

would rather trade MKG than Marvin.. MKG's trade value might be larger than Marv's too..

All this to say - Marv for Rubio?!?! -- no no no
We need a backup PG, but not a good trade to give up a solid "3 and D" player for a bench PG that plays absolutely no defense whatsoever.. Livingston, MCW, Knight, Rondo.. someone with size (compliments Kemba) that can defend their position 1 on 1..

I would rather not have to pay 33 year old Marvin Williams 15 million dollars in the season when we need to re-sign Kemba Walker, ESPECIALLY when we have Frank. MKG CAN get better, Marvin is only going to decline. Trade Marvin while we can.

Yes, Rondo please etc.

I think Marvin will be better this year, I mean, everyone should be with Howard.  He's going to be a target in the post and it should open up more outside shooting for Marvin and whatnot.    I mean, we just didn't have any scary post presence last year or..... ever.
