OKC could have had a dynasty but they broke it up because they were cheap and didn't want to pay the tax.

But now with PG signing and resigning Grant they now will have a $155 million tax bill. So it looks like they may think about dropping Melo and stretch his contract out over the next 3 years. They won't be able to sign anybody except for vet minimum and I believe 1 player at the MLE level but they will save $91 million on their tax bill.

Who gives a shit what you think? :-)

He obviously is very concerned about his stats and legacy. The biggest knock on the guy is being the first great player to continuously need to jump teams in his prime to title chase. This is his last chance to do it the way the big boys used to.

While.he may not care what I think staying home, taking.tour lumps and trying to rebuild for a last 2-3 year run would get him some respect with me and probably many others for whatever that is worth. I just don't think that is in his character though.

The Sixers are probably the best team to throw a wrench into it. If they can pull off a trade for Kawhi, they could field a pretty good lineup with Simmons, Embiid, Kawhi and LeBron. I'm not sure if they'd beat the Warriors, but some people would probably pick them to win it all.

They were just reporting on SportsCenter that the Sixers are still in talks trying to get Kawhi.

It's not if the rumors are true and LeBron wants to play off the ball more.

G Simmons
G Redick (?)
F Leonard
F James
C Embiid

Not sure they have the Warriors depth but with that lineup they can probably pick off a couple vets for a low cost who want to play on a title contender.
