Nobody wants Lonzo. In order to move him, Magic will have to offer a second player plus maybe a high draft pick and even then won’t get much in return. Lonzo is not the problem. His pops is. Nobody wants to deal with his shit.
LAL can sign Carmelo, he won’t be on OKC much longer.
Bosh on the way.....
I would think so. Westbrook team party the other day when PG announced he was staying and Melo wasn't invited. However Melo opted in. So I'm not sure contractually how that would work out with another team or if he would agree to MLE deal. I know LeBron likes his game.
.2014 NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard wants out of San Antonio, and his relationship with the Spurs has deteriorated to the point that Leonard’s management reportedly hid him from Spurs staffers when they attempted to visit him during his rehab process. Leonard only played in nine games last season, and though it had been reported for weeks that he strongly desired a trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, Leonard now reportedly prefers a move to the Clippers to avoid sharing the spotlight with LeBron James, according to ESPN.
The # of star players who don't want to play with Lebron is growing. Won't be that easy, Magic. Going to have to build without the super team easy button. Joe Dumars somehow sucked it out so there's a chance but Joe D is still twice as smart as Magic.
Considering they're not really championship contenders, OKC parting ways with Melo wasn't exactly a surprise when you consider how much he would have cost them in luxury taxes. He probably ends up in LA or Houston. Even though at this point in his career he's pretty much a jump shooter who plays no defense, I think coming off the bench he can still help a team, the Lakers need some outside shooting, maybe there's a fit
The next super team is brewing with Kyrie and Butler wanting to collaborate out east.I am glad he is on the west coast. Now the games are 3 hours later and I am sleeping. I had enough of the circus. Ruining the NBA.

I believe the 3 way deal (Sac-SAS-Philly) for Leonard will happen....Sixers just want assurances he won't be a rental. DSI has Leonard -250 to Sixers and teams below are all longshots now. I never believed Pops was ever going to give him up to the West.
What's the Proposal in that 3 way (Sac-Sas-Philly) Deal ?
Brown is trying to move a package that includes Robert Covington, Dario Saric, draft picks and any number of other players in an effort to get Leonard. Nobody aside from Brown and Pop know exactly what Philly has put on the table, but the one thing (aside from Robertson’s acquiescence) that might get the deal done would be the unprotected 2021 pick from Miami that the Sixers acquired on draft night. They also have a stockpile of nine future No. 2 picks.
If Covington — whose contract I am told is undesirable to the Spurs — can be sent to Sacramento in a three-way deal that also gets some of Philly’s extra picks into the hands of Vlade, then we enter Monty Hall territory. But for now, the pieces of this jigsaw puzzle only fit together perfectly in the abstract.*
