    Their primary 4 is KP who played 80% of his minutes at the 4 last season. Melo did play about 30% of the time at the 4 though, but I wouldn't call that "a lot" really, but it's something.

    I can confirm Carmelo Anthony plays basketball in New York.

    Yeah, i thought Porzingis played the 4 most of his minutes and Melo the 3 last season. Still, Beasley is a bench player so i'm not sure how his signing means anything regardless.

    Melo is clearly best at PF at this point, and Kristaps is best at C. NBA has changed.

    Melo has only played a decent amount of time at the 4 since Phil arrived. The vast majority of the time he's been at the 3 with the Knicks playing 2 bigs.

    I don't think this Beasley signing means much of anything either.

    Is Melo coming to Houston really just the continuation of the urbanization of the Yoda center ?

    Right so we aren't getting Melo and we will lose Paul if we don't get Lebron. Thank you for your inside information.

    You're not a Rockets fan. Can you stop pretending to be one?

    Melo will play the 4 for us.

    In NY, he mostly played 3 and KP played the 4.

    Not a lot. Not enough.

    His splits should be 90/10 between the 4/3

    Did KP miss some time? I thought he was playing more 4 mid to later in the season. I didn't watch a lot of Knicks games

    seems like you're trying to speak Melo not coming here into existence, we get it already

    At this point I'm thinking that u don't want him to come here so that u can be proven right.

    I think he said he would happily eat crow so I would consider him to be a real fan. He seems to be having no expectation so there is no disappointment to be had.

    @Joshua0312 though. He wants to be proven right and I have him as a troll at this point.
