Agreed. Those all worked out swimmingly
Melo has no history of serious knee injuries and he's better than Joe Johnson . Your comparing one of the arguably 5 best players to joe "I care less "Johnson ?? You just don't like Melo and that's your real reason for all this . You can't sell anyone on how rebuilding after a 54 win season makes sense , you loved Lin and wanted him paid and I can already see your one of those typical old white guy fan callers that hate Melo. You wish we kept gallo since that team shared the ball and played team ball unlike Melo I get it and it's tired mr cowherd

Stop being be a damn fool after next year there are free agents and we get cap Space back . Your trolling just say you don't like Melo and keep it moving . Don't pretend like your offering some solution when you keep saying get some basketball people like they'll say Yess let Melo ig and start from scratch and somehow jettison stats contract !!! What kind of shyt are you on ?? Sam presti himself made mistakes too

:russ: You be like "To hell with the subject...I'm talkin bout some other shyt!"



Kawhi Leonard was on the 2007 championship team? :stopitslime: I used to take you somewhat seriously but I'm thinking you might be an official troll tho...



How is that the best shot and you basically admit the draft is a crap shoot? The only way to build a championship team is thru Luck, Talent, & Good Coaching. How you get there is how you get there via draft, trades, or free agency. Recent champions:

Miami (built entirely thru free agency)
Dallas (Free agent signings to go around Dirk like Tyson and Kidd. I don't recall how Jet got there. but it wasnt thru the draft)
LA (Trades & free agency pick ups to complement Kobe)
Boston (Trades)

Come on man....

Miami drafted Wade; Mario, and Cole.
LA drafted Kobe and Bynum(he was one of the top 3 reasons the Lakers repeated)
Boston drafted Pierce; Rondo, and Perkins.

Yes it is a crap shoot, but your best bet is to get picks. From there you can draft stars; draft players that will help you net stars(ala Boston drafting Jeff Green and trading him to Seattle to net Allen), or using your picks in trades(LA and Miami trading picks to net Gasol and Bron/Bosh). Bottom line it's easier to stockpile on picks(taking on bad contracts; trading guys at the deadline) than it is for anything else. Now if you don't get lucky through the draft, you can use your surplus of young players/picks to acquire(see Melo; Chris Paul, and Dwight trades) stars, if not that then FA. Nothing is a slam dunk, but the draft is the safest one.
