Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted July 6, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 OKC is getting rid of Melo: Melo plus appropriate asset(s) for Miles Plumlee. OKC can buy out and stretch Plumlee for $4.96 mil. cap hit plus whatever LT savings, (a Melo stretch is $9 mil)Hawks buy out Melo. Hawks free themselves of Plumlee's $12 mil next season. This move still leaves us with ~$10 mil in capspace right now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 My face was all bent up until I got to “Hawks buy out Melo.” I did a full year with Dwight. I can’t stomach two of my most hated players from this era donning Red and Yellow. Or is it granite and volt. Whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad I missed that “appropriate assets” part....I was widely confused lol....oh ok so who in mind or what assets is realistic to get from okc? maybe their first rd draft pick? Or even better I’d take Grant but I’m sure he’s not an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Sothron Posted July 6, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I would absolutely do this just to get Plumless off our team. If you guys think I hate Young you have no idea of the revulsion I feel for Plumless. This would get his dead weight off our books and whatever sweetener we get from OKC is just icing.

Or even better I’d take Grant but I’m sure he’s not an option They can't trade their 2019 or 2021 1st since they owe their 2020 1st to Orlando (consecutive year pick rule). They only have 2 young players in Abrines and Ferguson that woukd be of interest. They might not be the ideal trade partner, but if we can dump Plumlee's $12 mil next year from our cap I'd be willing to postpone that 1st and take a top 3 protected 2022 1st plus Ferguson. (Westbrook will be 33 and PG will be 32 might be long gone by then). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll likely be as valuable as 2nd round picks. The expiring contract may have MORE value next season anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This move still leaves us with ~$10 mil in capspace right now. Well this obviously isn't happening but you kind of have to forget about trading away Plumlee...We are short 1 or 2 bigs right now. In our new system, Moose is going to slide back to his natural position of stretch 4....mainly because we need it. If you look at our depth chart listed on Yahoo sports, you'll see the unbalance. https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/atl/roster/ Collins and Dedmon are both listed as PF and Center in the depth chart. We're only 5 deep there total. We have 9 players between the 1-3 but 5 between the 4-5. Plumlee and Moose aren't going anywhere without a signing.

This move still leaves us with ~$10 mil in capspace right now. Or . . . Hawks keep Melo for the season, hope he shows some value, and tries to trade him for a 1st or 2nd round pick to a contending team at the trade deadline PG - Schröder G - Baze F - Prince PF - Melo C- Collins Or if he agrees, let Melo be the 6th man.
