    Honestly, I would use him for our 3rd pg. To be fair, he's better than what we have besides CP3 and James.

    Yeah, he's actually a really solid vet, I wouldn't be mad if we had him on our team.

    However, I'd be mad if we would rely on him to play like that every night because he just wont.

    Carmelo is the only one who has benefited so far from the OKC trio

    And the Thunder have the worst bench of any "contender". By far

    Yeah, he's a good depth player like Tarik Black. Capable of playing well in spots, but you don't really want to rely on him for big minutes.

    Don't worry, I'm sure OKC can trade him for Lowry or something.

    if minny ever learns to improve their shot selection they could be scary. teague also plays a bit out of control and he's not a very accurate passer. okc lucky to get homecooking from the refs so far

    I don't get Donovan, why use Melo with the bench unit and not Westbrook?

    It seems that would make more sense than having guys sit there and watch Melo's ISO game. Westbrook at least is used to carrying below average players to some success, and as of now, Westbrook has not been his usual aggressive self and that would be a good way to get him into that attack mentality.

    Yea but Adam Silver will disagree if they dont add DeRozan. I feel like im not the only one who thinks some of those offseason moves were weird?!

    Seems pretty obvious to me as well. Melo plays the floor stretching role at all times, let Paul George or Westbrook iso with the bench.

    Mr. Obvious says: Paul Geroge would be the perfect fit for the Rockets..

    Westbrook is not messing with PG13 and Melo anymore, he is trying to win the game by himself now

    You can tell Melo is getting annoyed he isn't getting the ball in winning time.
