Getting just under 20 minutes per game on the third best team in the East at 20 years old and he's still on his rookie contract when Melo's contract ends. He's playing better than Butler and about as well as Giannis at the same point in their careers. With Thomas, Melo, O'Quinn, Horford, Smart, Bradley, Brown and Olynyk the Cs don't need that 2018 pick IMO.


but this trade won't happen, I don't see Stevens wanting Melo.\


on that note, I WOULD trade Brown for Butler or George, but you don't put him in a deal for Melo IMO. Melo is too old to give up a young player who's already learning to contribute at a high level.
