It really is all about Melo's NTC and if he is that adamant about moving Melo.The calm before the storm. I find it crazy that phil jackson would send melo here without asking for at least blake.does he hate the Lakers that much. I remember when I mentioned trading Melo for Blake and people said melo was garbage. I guess its different if your trading him for Austin/Crawford or JJ.
If he's that adamant about moving Melo, then he kind of has to take what LAC (and the third team potentially) gives him because of how limited his trading options are, due to his NTC. Like, if he wants to trade melo that badly, and melo will only go to like LAC, (Bos has no interest in him) what else can Phil do but take what LAC gives him. (IF he's that hellbent on trading him.)
And yes, it's very different if you're trading Melo for Blake instead of Melo for Austin&Jamal
