Hahn said on radio that Melo was the "big" star Ainge was referring about, when he said they were close to something.
Hahn also said Melo would only go to Clippers, Cavs, and a 3rd team (I forget)... Plus, maybe SA later in career (loves Pops).
He said Melo is adamant tho that he wants to stay the course and win in NY. Melo told him 1 win in NY worth multiple titles elsewhere. In a way, you have to admire this sentiment... Delusional as it is. We shall see how long he holds firm to this, and most likely he wanted no part of BOS... But... He didn't jump ship first chance he had... At least he has decided to swallow the losing and endure, just as we fans must.
I know it's a long shot... But maybe Melo knows something... Maybe he feels confident KD is coming to NY.
They both grew up together... Melo was 4 years older and KD looked up to him. They had good relationship long before either was in NBA.
Melo never really had ties to LA or Monroe or last year's free agent class. Probably doesn't mean much... But who knows? We'll soon see tho.
KD and a PG and NYK is a title contender. This is probably the Melo dream... I am sure this is his thinking. If he can't get his friend to come... Maybe he feels the year afterward... Paul will join him?
