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.

    • I find it more like now that I have been forced to watch Young so much it isn’t as much of a shock to my senses.   Desensitized they call it.   For real, it just looks normal almost now. Where the first game of 2023 I wasn’t sure what I was looking at it was so out of bounds for NFL type play. I literally couldn’t make sense of what I had seen vs Atlanta that first week. 
    • Lynch in SF. Great is subjective but he has done pretty well there. 
    • Sure, except Stroud has the ability to stretch the field with deep passes. He did that often last night with ease, but couldn’t connect on many due to being flustered by the defense. BY9 gets flustered and can’t throw screens, let alone even think about any deeper passes. Stroud would’ve changed the franchise and done more with the situation last year. My thought at least.    the hope is that last year showed tepper that he needed to step back from football decisions. There’s a positive in most situations and maybe we’ll see a new tepper in the near future.
