moaaarrrrrr"Gilbert paid $82 million in salaries and $7 million in luxury tax in 2014-15, when the Cavs reached the NBA Finals. Last season, when Cleveland won the championship, Gilbert paid $107 million in salaries and $54 million in luxury tax.
The Cavs (30-14) are currently committed to $127.6 million in salaries and $27 million in luxury taxes for this season. They have spent more than any other NBA team over the three-year span."
Sheeeeeesh!

doesnt make sense to get a bunch of back court players when NY is kind of loaded at the pg and sg

How would the Clippers/Knicks trade help the Clippers? They wouldn't have a bench at all.

JJ is a UFA though this summer. Doubt they could retain him with Melo on the books too.

Redick loves LA too much, Balmer has the money and Doc sway vets to ring chase.

Realistically, what teams do you think Melo would waive his NTC for?

huh?
how is that a conflict of interest. karl's son wasn't on his teams because he was barely an nba player to begin with. doc's son was a lottery pick.

JJ went from a guy that never looked like he would have a tattoo to having a whole sleeve. I guess he's never leaving LA

JJ could get 10-15 mil easy. Don't care how much he loves LA he's not turning that money down. He can still live here in the offseason. Their cap constraints especially with CP0 opting out and wanting a max deal would be even worse with Melo.

There should either be No Cap at all or a Definite Cap.
Even a Hard Cap where you are just penalized with loss of Draft Picks or Heavy fines is stupid and unfair, and benefits the Richer teams yet again.
Spend whatever you want, or don't spend more than _____, period.

They also need someone to take pressure of Lil Zeke in the playoffs. He's career 38%, 25% from 3 in the postseason.
Melo wouldn't make them a perfect team, but he'd help them a ton.

If I'm the Clippers, I'm blowing my bench up to get Melo.
They aren't winning the championship this year so they might as well get a jump start on next season.

That's why I don't think the Boston scenario makes any sense (aside for the Knicks.) Melo would probably be in the same position as the '13 Knicks team that beat the C's in round 1.
