I don't know if Carmelo can be had at the league minimum, but I'm wondering whether Masai can get him in our lineup without messing up our finances or giving up any of our real prospects for the future. It seems we're currently built around defense. Stanley Johnson comes in with a rep, along with Lowry, Gasol, Siakam, Van Vleet, as well as Norm and OG. What we're missing is some instant offense, even if its just for 15minutes a game. Do you think Carmelo could be the gamble Ujiri makes to get us back to an ECF?
Carmelo would attract attention offensively. We have enough defense to cover his shortcomings. He's been off so long that he must be humbled by now and know he'll have to accept a possible roll player bench spot. If he can fit in and understand that he may have to move the ball to stay on the court, especially when he's hot and give it up to an open shooter.......
