re: Interesting Melo trade idea with Pels as facilitators

I think re-signing Jrue and using the 1st to upgrade Moore is the best option for the Pels.

I agree.

Go get a starting PG or SG to play with Jrue using the 2018 first, Moore and whatever. What about Zach Lavine? Crawford is your backup 2.
Use the MLE to get a good role player at the 1 or 3. Use the TPE and this years 2nd to get a young wing player a decent team is ready to give up on or doesn't play much. Justice Winslow isn't all that great, but i'll take him for free if Miami is giving up on him. I'm looking at guys like Oubre in Washington, Barton/Mudiay from Denver, Hood from Utah, Prince/Bembry from ATL, Seraphin or Glenn Robinson from Indy, Jarell Martin from Memphis, TJ Warren in Phoenix. Use the BAE to get a backup 4 or 5. Probably looking at keeping Ajinca/Asik.

If we aren't going to have a draft pick, and plan on getting rid of 2018's as well, i'd like to find a way to still get a young guy that someone else is giving up on, which is the idea behind the TPE and 2nd for a young wing. James Young in Boston would be a nice pickup on a cheap contract as a UFA. he may be not much of anything, or he could turn into Kent Bazemore.
