Hey everyone, for Complex News, I'm Justin Block.
Let's get real about the NBA for a second: It's only the beginning of the offseason,
and the league has already lost its damn mind.
LeBron and Draymond are trading ruthless insults on IG, LaVar Ball is officially the most notorious
NBA dad alive, and there's always a chance Phil Jackson puts the final nail in the Knicks'
coffin and trades Kristaps Porzingis.
That being said, it's never been more fun to be an NBA fan.
They're rightfully seizing their place as the most entertaining year-round league.
Simply put, the NBA's the best reality show we've got.
But there's always room for improvement.
And depending on what side you're on, the idea of the Cavs and Warriors dominating the
league and trading championships for the next half decade is downright sickening.
LeBron and the Cavs have the East in their pocket, and Steph, Durant, and the rest of
the Warriors have the West in a headlock.
Sure, the basketball excellence and talent we've seen on display during the last three
NBA Finals is exhilarating.
There's no debating that.
But, to try and restore some competitive balance and unpredictability to the NBA, we think
these extreme, but very necessary offseason moves need to happen.
And if you think they're really crazy, just remember:
This might be the point of no return for Carmelo Anthony's disappointing Knicks career.
He's spent six-and-a-half years at the Garden, and in return, only has one playoff series
win and a whole lot of blame on his shoulders.
We've endured years of non-stop losing for Melo's Knicks, and with him hitting age
33, we're sick of it all.
It's also no secret that Phil Jackson would love to trade Melo—if only Melo would waive
his no-trade-clause.
Well, Melo would definitely waive his clause and personally drive himself to Cleveland
if it meant joining LeBron and the Cavs.
A re-invigorated Melo could be the weapon the Cavs need to match the Warriors' firepower.
Also, LeBron's been one of his best friends since they each broke into the NBA in 2003.
LeBron would welcome Melo with open arms and a glass of his finest red wine.
So here's how we're making this go down.
Melo heads to The Land, Ricky Rubio becomes the pass-first point guard the Knicks have
needed for years, and the upstart Minnesota Timberwolves receive badly needed perimeter
defense, shooting, and mentoring help in Shumpert and Frye, and Jefferson.
Who says no?
Well, Melo still could, of course.
But if LeBron's adding a new threat in Melo, the Celtics will have to respond.
Ever since blowing up their championship core, the Celtics have been slowly rebuilding.
Now, thanks to a combination of stars in Isaiah Thomas and Al Horford, plus good role players
and a whole lot of draft picks, the Celtics feel like they're one or two pieces away
from keeping LeBron up at night.
Now, in walks five-time All-Star Blake Griffin.
His inside-outside talents and freakish athleticism would fit perfectly downlow with Horford.
His rebounding would also help the Celtics shore up their presence on the glass, where
they ranked 27th in the league last season.
Griffin loves living and playing in Los Angeles, but his Clippers team might not have a championship
window to look through anymore.
The Celtics' is just opening, and Griffin can jump aboard and help Isaiah captain the
ship with endless alley-oops.
Speaking of breaking up Lob City, we know that Chris Paul has over 200 million reasons
to stay with the Clippers.
At age 32, locking up one more max contract is probably enticing for Paul, but let's
remember: He's ringless and has never made a Conference Finals with the Clippers.
Paul should rip up that $200 million extension with the Clippers and head to the Spurs for
a year.
With CP3, Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge and Coach Popovich's magic, the Spurs could
reasonably challenge the Warriors' rule of the Western Conference throne.
And here's the key twist: After a year, he could become a free agent again with his
banana boat buddy LeBron, whose contract is up in 2018.
Another superteam in Los Angeles could be brewing.
Now looking eastward, let's consider the Chicago Bulls.
The Rajon Rondo experiment in Chicago has failed spectacularly, so it's time to bring
in a responsible point guard.
Kyle Lowry, who's been one of the best point guards in the East for a few years, would
be a great pickup for the Bulls.
A threesome of Jimmy Butler, D-Wade, and Lowry wouldn't exactly strike fear into LeBron's
lion-sized heart, but it could make the franchise respectable again after a chaotic few years.
Speaking of chaos, let's bring this scenario into reality: Kevin Durant re-signing with
the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The guy got his ring, and we all respect his resume now, right?
Nobody's going to poke holes in his Hall of Fame plaque like they do with Barkley,
Malone, and Ewing because he didn't win a title.
KD doesn't have to be insecure about his legacy anymore—he's an NBA Finals MVP,
a transcendent offensive talent, and if he returned to small-town OKC, he'd be a hero
too.
The Thunder would need make a few trades to clear cap space for KD's own homecoming
of sorts, but this would be the ultimate move.
Balance would return to the Western Conference, as Russell Westbrook and KD can go back to
finishing the job they started together last decade: Winning a title in OKC.
So there's our five-part, slightly insane plan to fix the NBA this offseason.
We need these moves to happen, people.
