Would you trade MKG + Marvin = Melo??

I don't care what we get for Marvin. But I think he needs to go. He has a player option in 2019 worth 15 mil. If we don't trade him this season, he will be hard to trade next season with that whopper of a PO looming. We may be able to get something for him this season, but next season we may be paying someone to take him. He and Frank are the same player, and one of them will need to go. I'd rather it be Marvin.

Yes but can he play PF? 

I do think we should find a way to move Marvin. I hate that contract for a backup

Melo plays the 4 often I think but I'd probably put him at SF and Batum at SG, let Monk come off bench.    Frank or Zeller (Frank please) would be the 4.

Rudy Gay, anyone?

I keep coming back around to him.. since his injury - i have cooled on the idea.. but that would be another temping choice.. I don't think he would cost much because of that injury = low risk/high reward

Melo isn't going to want to play in Charlotte. He would consider himself the alpha dog and be a ball hog, taking shots away from Kemba and Monk and maybe more importantly from a team chemistry standpoint Dwight. 

Dwight is our former superstar, we don't need more than one ego in that room. 

If we're going to trade MKG/Marvin I would target a young player with potential that isn't working out on their current squad a la Deangelo Russell. Now I'm not saying the Lakers would have done Russell for those two but a similar situation.

If you want to get rid of Marvin here's a deal that kind of makes sense for both squads:

It's Marvin for Brandon Knight straight up. We free up minutes for Frank and MKG can play some PF in a death lineup with Batum at SF, Monk at SG. 

We get our backup PG. Money is extremely similar for both players. Suns get a veteran for a youngish locker room that fills a need for stretch 4 for them.

I'd love it if Cho can figure out how to get Jeremy Lin back from Brooklyn. 

Accept Session's team option and package him and Jeremy Lamb for Lin. If they get greedy give them a future 2nd. Lin was an amazing compliment to Kemba and now that Russell is in Brooklyn, Lin's starting job isn't guaranteed. You can replace Lamb with a wing in free agency using the MLE.

I think some one here underestimate what Marvin brings to this squad.. He does have a bad contract - but it isn't garbage.. He plays solid D on a nightly basis, great on "Help D" too.. his 3pt shot took a dip from his career year he had 2 seasons ago, but that was to be expected.. He is our gritty hustle guy that can be effective at the 3pt line.. the problem is we have MKG in the starting lineup too.. no way you can have 2 hustle/glue guys in your starting lineup..

would rather trade MKG than Marvin.. MKG's trade value might be larger than Marv's too..

All this to say - Marv for Rubio?!?! -- no no no
We need a backup PG, but not a good trade to give up a solid "3 and D" player for a bench PG that plays absolutely no defense whatsoever.. Livingston, MCW, Knight, Rondo.. someone with size (compliments Kemba) that can defend their position 1 on 1..

I would rather not have to pay 33 year old Marvin Williams 15 million dollars in the season when we need to re-sign Kemba Walker, ESPECIALLY when we have Frank. MKG CAN get better, Marvin is only going to decline. Trade Marvin while we can.

Yes, Rondo please etc.

I think Marvin will be better this year, I mean, everyone should be with Howard.  He's going to be a target in the post and it should open up more outside shooting for Marvin and whatnot.    I mean, we just didn't have any scary post presence last year or..... ever.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
