For Schroder + more

Wow
Presti pulled this out of his ass.
Hawks total rebuild wanted out of Schroeder long term deal.
If OKC waived and stretched melo they would have 9 mil of dead money for 3 years...instead they pay 15 mil a year for a solid point guard.Comment -
Hawks will cut him and he will sign rockets. OddComment -
lol
he will be at strip clubs nightly
Nobody wanted himComment -
Memo won’t spend a day in Atlanta.
Great job by okc. Flipped a player nobody wanted for a solid contributor in Schroeder. Weird fit between him and russ. Plays much like reggie Jackson who russ didn’t play well with. Both can’t shoot but good pick up nonethelessComment -

Tremendous save for OKC: Thunder get massive salary and luxury tax savings -- nearly $100M -- w/o stretching Anthony's $28M. That deal would've left $9M-plus on books next three years, so Schroder $15.5M per year becomes bargain -- and an asset that could stay or be traded again.Comment -
Poor Carmelo
Should have played for next to nothing this year & gone to Lakers, Houston, or even Golden State in hopes of earning a ringComment -

I think he could be a star again
in Ice Cube's Big 3 leagueComment -
It’s tough to be an Atlanta fan.Comment -
He can barely twist his shoulders and get his arms over his head anymore
talk about a beat up old circus dog...
Atlanta probably the worst-run team in NBA.Comment -
I'm half asleep.
Why did Atlanta do this??Comment -
Houston needs another ball hog that doesn’t play defense ? This is to easy for GSWOriginally posted by LT ProfitsComment -
Rings overrated
All about money nowComment -
They also said that about the warrriors not to long ago - Sharp GM Atlanta have- he help built the warriorsOriginally posted by SnowballComment -
Few nba teams need to be relocated - Atlanta is one of them - People in GA- only care about college football and that fake sport nascar !!! Vegas would be a good destinationComment -
They wanted to dump Schroder who somehow is still owed like $45M over his contract and picked up a protected 2022 1st rounder.Originally posted by Bluehorseshoe
Actually a great money saving trade for both sidesComment -
Apparently some GM's like to help other GM's out?Originally posted by Bluehorseshoe

yeah it sometimes seems it
does atlanta get some cap space or something?Comment -
They get to dump Schroeder contract - trade seems right - melo is on his last yearOriginally posted by Chi_archieComment -
Melo is a defensive liability and isn't getting any younger.... OKC wise to do this trade and get anything for him.. OKC WIN HERE for sure..
Melo is almost a cancer to most teams in a sense.. You aren't winning a title with him on your team in other words...

Melo isn't either.. One loser gone.. It's a start.. Westbrook is still an athletic phenom that can ball. Melo is old and slow of foot...Originally posted by ikid2groove415
Getting rid of Melo is a good thing...Comment -
its like none of you watch sportsComment -
Westbrook career will be similar to MeloOriginally posted by JIBBBYComment -
Agree. Schroeder was bad news in Atlanta. Not an ideal fit for okc on paper but they saved some tax dollars. He reminds me of Reggie Jackson. I don’t think much of Reggie.Originally posted by pattymayo
Melo can still contribute on offense in iso sets. Houston runs a lot of iso ball. Another scorer is needed because Paul should be on a 32 mpg limit. He isn’t built for 36+ anymore...and hasn’t been for last few seasons. Melo can be that scorer.
The rookie from usc could be a contributer early on defense and transition offense.Comment -
Okc made out like bandits here surely, no idea who that sixers guy is but getting a serviceable player for Anthony is huge. Shroder plays pretty good d from memory (I never watched the Hawks) and does an above average job running the point imo. Felton had his moments but the game has passed him by and to often the second unit buried Okc this is a big boost.
Just checked their roster when did they get Noel? If he can get his mojo back Okc are a decent team, lack shooting guards but C Adams PF Noel SF George PG Westbrook SG whoever is hitting them out of that roster is a decent team on paper and comes with a pretty decent second unit.Comment -
I seem to remember melo winning a ncaa championship no? Not a loser, sucks now tho.Originally posted by JIBBBYComment -
