Melo is just too old for us to give up anything of value for him.
We trade for Melo if we get Durant or another superstar.
Melo is an injury prone, aging, declining, high usage player.
He has become more generous with sharing the ball this year, but at this stage the only way we even consider getting Melo is if we have a real top 10 player here already.
Eg Durant signs as a free agent, and we give up a future Brooklyn pick+young guys for Melo as the final piece.
