They'd lose Auscrub and Crawful to get FatMelo. Makes them somewhat easier for the Spurs to handle imo.
First reported by Sam Amick. Would help solve their SF woes and if they can acquire him w/o giving up any of their big three, it's a no-brainer imo. Not sure who/what they'd give up though. I imagine a number of future picks + Crawford and Wes Johnson or Paul Pierce to make the numbers match. Clips are already a bad matchup for us. Would this worry you tbh? Just curious where people stand on this. Discuss.

Yeah, it's a problem if it happens. There is already an all-star team in San Francisco, a Melo, Griffin, Paul, Jordan, JJ core is going to make getting out of the West even tougher. Right now the Spurs biggest threat is GSW.
. He's not that good anymore as far as being a superstar that leads a team goes, but darn, this isn't going to help us. As a third option, it's going to form another super team to deal with, and the Spurs already have enough problems with the Clippers.
Have y'all watched FatMelo lately? Or seen how Red /Baby Rivers/Crawford have destroyed the Spurs since 2015? You add a player that Kawhi has destroyed on numerous occasions to a team that he struggles against unlike any other in the league, while they lose 2/3 players that play like stars against the Spurs. Completely changes that matchup between the two teams.
This. There is a reason Phil will take lesser talent back for him.
Phil trying to bolster the "other" LA team to make Jeanie feel bad.
I hope that is the case then.
Almost certainly means that if they trade for melo without giving up their big three it will include JJ, crawford, and rivers who always on us
Add another ball dominant iso chucker and get rid of some of 3pt shooters...hope the clips trade for this cancer tbh
If this eventually comes to fruition, there's no chance Re is included. He's vital to the Clippers and it's not as if it couldn't work without his salary. Pierce's corpse won't be included either, because Rivers wouldn't do that to him. It would more than likely be Rivers, Crawford and one of (Brice) Johnson or Stone and possibly a future pick.
Say what you want about Anthony, but that would be a no brainer for the Clippers.
Probably all 3 for them, or some combo with JJ and Crawford, I don't see Doc giving up his sonAlmost certainly means that if they trade for melo without giving up their big three it will include JJ, crawford, and rivers who always on us

i hate melo. glad he didn't make the all star team.
+1billion
It's even better he didn't make it after his self promotion on twitter
I wouldn't do it, if I was the Clippers. At least for this year is not going to help, maybe next year with a full training camp and a better set of role players.
Do you think that all three Melo, Blake and DeAndre can start?
It'd help them in just about every other match up since their roleplayers don't show up like they do against the Spurs and a lot of teams don't have someone like Kawhi to react bother FatMelo.
Their spacing would be terrible. I assume JJ and Crawford would be in the deal for it to make sense for NYC, which further complicates things on that front.
Melo and Blake are kind of duplicative these days. If you told me one of them was a consistent 3 ball threat then that's another question, but that's not the case. Now if you told me that acquiring Melo was a precursor to them moving Blake for something else good (like some of the Celtics young parts), then I'd be more concerned.

Whatever gets the ball outta Paul and Griffin's hands, I'm all for it.
Carmelo has a 15% trade kicker which will mean the Cripples would most likely be hard-capped, so they can't even add minimum salary players to replace Crawford.
With cp3 and Blake injury prone it would be 2
Sucks for them they overpaid rivers
LOL at acting like Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford are the reasons why the Spurs struggle against the Clips, not Cp3, D-Jordan and Blake Griffin. Kawhi'so struggles have absolutely nothing to do with those two. Now, Paddy on the other hand
Terrible take....
Would daddy trade son?
Probably
Crawford
Brice Johnson
Wesley Johnson
for
Carmello Anthony, Ndour and Baker (Knicks have 15 players and would either need to waive two players to add the two addition players in the trade or trade two of their cheapest contracts to make it work
PG-Paul-Rivers/Felton
SG-Re -Crawford
SF-Anthony-Mbah Moute
PF-Girffin-Anthony (small ball 4)
C-Jordan-Speights
