Hard to say you're wrong but benching Melo the rest of the way would make him change his mind about that NTC.
Pelinka the new GM of the Lakers said he's going to be aggressive about making changes, I wonder if he would be interested in Melo.
The Lakers aren't contenders but it is LA and it would be a chance to work with Magic for Melo.
Me-Lo has no value..well maybe a 5th round draft choice... why would la want him??? they suck with or without him... magic aint taking him... n the NTC is worthless..nobody wants him...
