Would the Rockets be this good right now if we had Carmelo over Anderson?

I honestly think if we had Melo we would be on a 19 game winning streak... no shot at Ryan because he has been good with CP3. Melo would go nutz with CP3!

 

Anderson is better than Carmelo so Rockets would be worse.

 

I think Melo would be better here than he is in OKC...we have smarter players, more unselfish players, and a better system/coach

I was all in on Olympic Melo, but there is a part of me that thinks that Melo will never really change his ISO ways because it’s too ingrained in his head

I’ll say this tho, I’d take Road Ryno over Melo all day...Road Ryno is more valuable than Melo

I do think we might’ve dodged a bullet...I never viewed Melo as a long-term option...I was mostly excited about what he could give us this year

Melo opting in would’ve been a problem too...his salary is too high

 

Your forgetting that they’re diff systems. Melo’s stats would be better all the way through playing here

 

CP3 wasn't playing for 14 of the 19 games.

 

ashleyem? Is that you?

 

Even after teaming up with PG and Westbrook, Melo can't shake his bullsh!t iso-ball habits. He hasn't adjusted his game at all, just like he didn't adjust for MDA in the past. He'll never change.

Given Ryan's improved defense and rebounding, I don't think we'd be better with Carmelo. That said, the trade still probably would have been worth it to get out from under Ryno's contract.

 

With the way Anderson has stepped up his defense, the Rockets would be worse off with Melo over Anderson.

 

Way better. Anderson doesn't draw double teams my friend.

 

Resounding no. The only game he could have possibly helped was when we lost to Philly and no one could create any offense.

 

Well considering Melo is averaging about 1.6 assists per game his teammates aren't exactly benefiting from his double teams. The chemistry Ryno has with CP3 and his improved defense make me think he's the better fit so far. He can really stretch the defense while Melo will always take the low efficiency shot.

 

No, Melo isn't that good of a player and in this system all he'd do is screw up the offense

 

Your username got me feelin some type of way

 

Lmao@ppl blaming Melo for OKC's losing. Their coach has no offensive system and everything they do is based off of ISO. That is not Carmelo's fault. I guess it's Carmelo's fault they lost to us in the playoffs last year too? Because they played the same ISO ball

 

No.

Melo going to OKC was a blessing in disguise. This offense is too legit to have melo doing 18 foot jacks trying to get 20 a game.

Anderson said it best when he said hes not sure melo is the type of guy willing to go some games with only 3 or 4 shots.

 

when you have james harden nothing else matters

 

i think we do need another star scorer in order to compete with gsw, but melo isn't it. i was drinking the coolaid this summer because he was our best chance at a big 3, but after seeing the problems okc is having i'm happy morey didn't give up anything to get him.
