Right now, Melo has played 3 seasons & gotten hurt twice. His brother got hurt & looks to have ended his career. You might be ahead of the curve if you trade him to someone missing a point in their playoff mix.
I'm sure everyone is aware of the C's trade for Porzingis & 1st round pick this year & next. Memphis receives Smart. Wizards get multiple filler players. |
I agree when you draft this high. You don’t draft for. You draft for talent.
I do not agree that Ball and Henderson cannot fit together.
Lamelo can play off the ball and is a good catch and shoot player.
Having one elite playmaker and one good playmaker is not a bad
thing.
And it would be a great change of pace. Henderson when you want to go fast and get out on the break. LaMelo when you want to go half court
Lamelo does have health concerns regarding his ankles.
And he has learned some bad habits playing in Charlotte.
But I still like him as a player. He is a good shooter and elite passer with too 5 court vision.
Curry had ankle problems too and worked to get them resolved.
I hope LaMelo can do the same
Charlotte needs to nail this pick. Their franchise is in danger of being moved and they need talent everywhere.
I would take Henderson and worry work him into what they have.
Then see if they can get anything of value for Hayward or Rozier.
Lamel, Henderson, and Mark Williams are not a bad start.
You need a whole lot more. But Charlotte has been in the wilderness for a long time.
I hope they get this right. I have a soft spot for them.
