Tell me why we don't do this...

OKC is looking to unload Melo's massive contract (about $28m) and they know they will get nothing of real use back..

Charlotte gets Melo ($28m) = OKC gets Marvin + MKG ($27m)
Thoughts? Would either of us pull the trigger on this? We create cap space for next year's FA class instantly and help OKC out in the process.
I might be too fugged up rite now to realize why this shudn't happen..

PG - Kemba - Parker
SG - Lamb - Monk
SF - Batum - Bacon
PF - Melo - Frank
C - Zeller - Biz

Not only would OKC not be getting the luxury tax relief that they desire, but MKG and Marvin are on that books for $30M until 2019/20 while Melo's deal comes off 2018/19.

So not only do they end up in the luxury tax this year but potentially next year as well and they would also have $30M tied up in two average players when they would much rather have that $30M to offer a max to someone else.

Plus, Carmelo is on his last tour. He'll end up in Houston on an MLE with a chance to win a ring.
