Carmelo: "I'm not going to (come off the bench) in a situation where I still know my capabilities"

He's still got the juice and not questioning the signing at all, but highlights are misleading. If he was as valuable as this highlight shows, then OKC probably wouldn't have gotten rid of him.

 

then he’s delusional

 

pretty much this

Will he get mad if he’s not finishing every game too?

 

I was really hoping we start Ennis at the 3. I think it would bring the best out of him. Having said that I trust that this conversation with Melo happened before we signed him so just going to have to trust the coaching staff and GM and assume they will know how to start him and make it work.

 

Ennis needs to prove he could be a good starter in elite team at first.

Before that, I still prefer to start Melo.

 

Tbh, it’s not a matter of whos in the starting lineup, it’s a matter of which 5 close out games.

 

Maybe start Carmelo at the 4 but he's still going to be a defensive liability no matter where you put him. The guy can not defend

 

Y’all act like we were wanting Carmelo for his personality.

 

Lol he finished 3rd in MVP as a 4 in New York.

What are you talking about?

 

Tucker is out starting PF, period!

 

would you rather have a confident Melo or a unconfident Ryno?

tis the question..

 

:yawn:

 

Is one a cancer that would throw a hissy fit if he doesn't get playing time?

 

Of course it will be. But for some reason many on Clutchfans are desperate to talk themselves into Melo being an upgrade over Ariza and Luc

 

His attitude has to change IF he cannot live up to what he says. Theres a difference between knowing your capabilities and actually performing up to. Let's hope he can do the latter.

 

Another goal post move

First it was he has to come off the bench now it’s the best five will finish and it doesn’t include him lol.

After MDA is finishing him in game it will be he can only shoot spot up shots if he’s in.

You guys will keep making demands until one of them is met lol

 

There isn’t a single fan who’s said “as long as we win I don’t care”

 

Do as he’s told by who? You? The media? Other fans?

Do you not think Rockets brass(the people who matter) already told him what’s up?

Has that little tidbit not crossed your mind?

 

I told y’all he was coming here and I told y’all he was intislly starting you mofos live in a rockets fantasy land

 

I think you guys are reading too much into was is being said at the press conference. I bet melo is ok coming off the bench here because he wants to be here.
