I don't disagree with you but they gave up too much for a guy that I don't think is as good as people think. Just my opinion of course.
Why not just sign him after the season and then Paul or Williams without giving up all the guys, picks and cash?
cant sign a max contract with all those players. who would you rather have melo, and those 3, or melo and paul/williams. give me melo paul/williams.
