Breaking: Woj: Melo to hou may take till training camp... Update: Interview added

Why has Melo been interviewed all of a sudden? Is he subtly, or not?, trying to push the ultimate trade?

 

He's hosting a basketball tournament in Baltimore.

 

Thanks

 

A little off topic, but you got me thinking..

Warriors death lineup: Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Durant, Green

Rockets defense: CP3, Harden, Ariza, Moute, Tucker

And that won't even be our best lineup (add Melo). This season is going to be special .

 

This is the exact opposite of breaking.

 

Its annoying how everytime you sign on cfans and you see breaking before you enter the garm, you think theres actual breaking news.

 

C'mon..CC is not only part of our best lineup...He is key to beating the Warriors.
Along with Melo(and NeNe)...those guys will exploit GS's Achilles Heel inside. All the while, CP3 (who plays great D, and always gives the W' s problems on both sides of the ball) and the Beard will not only neutralize, but overpower their backcourt. The match ups change in our favor THIS YEAR with CA. Add on the benefit of cheap ring chasing /more than capable veterans, and we are there.

 

Let us hope there is no CC in Knixieland at the end of the rainbow.

Did you see The Dream's interview (Africa trip) about the place for bigs in today's NBA? Spot on, and beyond, your post, and frankly what I have believed, too. (Does that mean I believe in Dreams?).

 

That lineup has three gaping offensive holes. Swap out one of those defensive guys for Gordon. And I still think Capela and Nene can competently defend Green, but I also don't mind the small ball 5.

 

Hey there xiki,

I'm extremely confident that the only way CC goes in that deal is if it's expanded to include another stud 5...He shouldn't be going anywhere though...definitely a keeper(esp at his # for this year)..IMO will be a top 10 center at minimum for eons.

And, no, my friend...I missed the interview..sounds like must see....think you can lay it down for me?

You know I believe in Dream (s). : )

 

We always gotta believe in Dream(s); it's the stuff of magic! (Right Lil Penny and Lil'er Shaq???)

You came from an era of back-to-basket centers. Now the bigs play outside. Do you see it coming full circle?

If I played today, I wouldn't be shooting 3s -- I'd be taking advantage in the post. My style of basketball is being played really. I always wanted to play three different positions: small forward, power forward and center. If I have a size advantage, I play inside. If you have a size advantage over me, I play outside. You have to be able to play both.

In today's game, where the big guys play more outside, they don't have to take advantage in the post of the mismatch. To be a complete player, you need to take advantage of your opportunities. If you're a big, you should play in the post. It's a mismatch. And if you get the ball outside, you should be able to shoot a jump shot or drive to be a complete player.

 

Beautiful.

 

Joel Embiid has a true inside and outside game plus rebounding/ defense. He reminds me a bit of Dream. It's too bad that his injury history is even worse than Yao's.

 

Does carmelo anthony even still exist?

 

It's not worse: he's still playing and he's not 'ours'.

 

back at the 2 yard line?

 

I know it's pretty cliche at this point, but Dream's the best man. There is no superstar in sports I'd rather have play for my team better than Hakeem. Yes Jordan is Jordan. But Hakeem seems like he's more invested in the people GLOBALLY on a groundlevel. He seems like the guy you can approach and have a good convo with. We all know MJ is a arrogant douche who could care less about you or me. Jordan's only contribution is his shoes. Hakeem is much more than that

 

Unfortunately for the Knicks, yes. If the Clinton's owned the Knicks he would have died in a freak accident by now.
