As much as i love melo he has always been about the money. Nobody is going to trade for him and pay his $ 28 M salary. OKC would probably have to throw in Westbrook to get anybody to take Melo. If he opts out, he would probably be lucky to get a deal in the $ 8M range. No way he will leave $ 20m on the table in what will surely be his last big payday season. So what is the point of his being disruptive and saying he will not accept a bench role ? Sorry, melo, but you need to grow up, take your $ 28M with class, and accept any role they assign you next season to try and help the team. The year after, you can always chase a title if you think there is a better situation for you to do that. PS - The deal in which the Knicks traded Melo is looking pretty good for them right now.
