    #riskprofile lol

    I believe it is an acceptable risk if we protect the 1st. No brooklyn situation that way

    22 points on 19 shots with 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

    Star numbers sure aren't what they used to be

    I agree. I think they're holding out in hopes to get some value out of his contract, but will ultimately buy him out before training camp. No need to rush things right now, especially considering they're in the midst of a front-office overhaul.

    I keep asking myself, porzingis is 7-3, right?

    Can't this kid play center? All he needs to do is bulk up for defense and they can have an amazing five out offense. Imagine them starting porzingis and having anderson back him up and bringing kris back in at center. Ryan anderson gets 30 minutes and they get to run 5 out, the future of the nba. Swing the ball, pick and roll, cuts with elite spacing.

    Am i blind, or is ny too scared to innovate?

    Kristaps
    Anderson
    Thomas
    Lee
    Frank

    This gives kris a ton of room to operate. They need a face that kris is never gonna be a back it down post player because he's too frail. He needs to learn how to face up bigger guys and take them off the dribble and shoot over them like dirk.

    i guess Westbrook & Kobe are bench players then. That's about as many shots he takes

    Westbrook gets 10 more points in two more shots and double the rebounds and triple gr assists.

    Come on this is crazy. Why can't people accept that melo has declined? He's not a young player anymore.

    Ariza is one of the best defenders in the league, let him go and it will be extremely hard to find another SF who can play his level of defense.

    Why can't people literally accept the fact without Melo we might be 4-5th in the west

    I don't think half the people on this board has ever played a competitive sport at a serious level. Half think love would be better than Melo which is idiotic if you've ever played serious basketball.

    Our entire franchise could be at risk with CP3 & harden leaving if we don't get a 3rd star

    Most y'all want Love and Melo and get swept in the first round. Wolves and Thunder are going all in and so should we

    If trading half our roster for Chris Paul isn't the Rockets going all in then I'm really confused. We were already significantly better than both those teams and have improved considerably.

    It's July. The roster will continue to be shaped.

    I'd love to get Carmelo still, I don't think any of the recent quotes mean much.

    Swapping Taj Gibson, Victor Oladipo and Sabonis for Paul George is going all-in, but swapping Pat Beverley and Lou Williams for Chris Paul and PJ Tucker isn't?

    As for the Wolves, good luck making up that 24-game gap relative to a Houston club that also added a better player (Chris Paul) than anyone Minnesota did.

    The Thunder getting George doesn't mean they are going all in more than us. We just got Chris Paul and is still trying to add to this roster by trading for Melo. If that's not all in I don't know what is.

    People are losing their ****ing mind just because we aren't making more major moves. You guys need to step back and take a look at what we have to offer. Why the hell do you all think they need to take Rynos trash contract? Just because melo wants out? Lol. You guys seriously need to get a grip for goodness sakes. Y'all really look like a bunch of whiny b****es. We have a damn good team going into next season, if anything we need to focus on getting some more decent back ups since it's hard to believe that we can replicate Anderson/Gordon/Nene's health of last season.

    Don't do that, just stop acting like this boards version of Skip ****ing Bayless with asinine hot takes and it's all good.
