He did demand a trade to Houston for quite a while last year. This is likely just like CP3 resigning here. Everyone in the know knows it’s happening, the media just wants to spin La.
Not my firs, second, or even third option, but for those harping on it whats your off-season game plan at this point? I still haven't given up on Olympic Melo, and even if that's unrealistic he provides more upside than most guys we could acquire. Last year people wanted him at any cost. Now we can possibly get him for free on a low-risk one year deal and people are completely against it? What happened to buy low sell high? Sucks we're taking a step back defensively, but the Warriors have had a good off-season outside of just signing Boogie. At this point I throw as much talent as I can at them and hope it works - if it doesn't, we probably weren't winning it all this year anyway.
I was going to go right to twitter and kill him for this after I read it... and it’s not even bad at all. Almost everything he said is what we’ve said on this board down to him hoping melo proves him wrong and we contend with GS
I love the Melo shot 40% crowd Melo shot 6/15 on average, if dude makes 1 more shot per game, 1 more shot he's at 46% from the field and all of sudden he's efficient and if that shot was a 3 he'd be over 50% from 3 This is why the numbers don't bother me at all because I feel like with the looks he'd get in Houston he'd shoot really well from the field. The defense I've already posted, dude had a similar rating the guy he'd be replacing
Insert Nick Young gif One made basket a GAME is huge. That's like 2.4 points per game (accounting for 3 point shots). A 2.4 point difference per game over a 82 game season is worth about 6-7 wins based on pythagorean wins.
I'd rather have them trade for a Top 12 guy in the Draft. Melo is just a rental for 1 or 2 years. And then you wished you never got him.
Lol, now we’re playing the “if Melo made 1 more shot per game he would’ve been doing this or that” card? If Harden averaged 1 more made three per game he would’ve been a 47% 3 point shooter. Curry who?
Melo is going to be a great fit here. His relationship with Paul and Harden is super close. He won’t come and complain about anything. If we get Melo Sign Ennis ( trade Anderson for Bazemore ) Find a Backup PF / C with height. I’ll be happy with the off season.
