Bobby Brown following Melo on instagram as of a few hours ago. Just a little thing to monitor. Gordon Hayward trainer following Celtic players before the announcement. Can't get past social media.
I feel like the Rockets are gonna get a Chris Paul no one's ever seen before. A scoring machine version of himself.
Cp3 and harden is going to be the second best combo in the game behind curry and Durant. These dudes are going to be filthy together. James while gifted at point gaurd forsure is really a natural 2 gaurd. He's 6'5 with a 6'11 wingspan and weighs as much as a lot of power fowards, He's a scoring machine. James might avg 32ppg this year. Now if we land melo he'll prob be closer to 28 but still that's very impressive none the less. He's going to get so many open threes. I expect his fg% to look much closer to his last season in okc when he won 6th man award. 49/39 splits. It will be a little lower because he's still going to force tough shots off the dribble but I would expect him to settle in around 47/37 which is insane efficiency considering he'll be taking prob 10 threes a game. Cp3 is going to avg over 20ppg no doubt in my mind. In this MDA offense it's gonna be special. Cp3 has never played for a coach as as gifted on offense as Mike. And if we add melo?!?? Watch out we'll score just as easily as golden state. It will come down to Rebounding for us to truely beat them, the defense will be fine. Harden is prob the second best scorer in the NBA behind KD but he's a lot better playmaker which really closes the gap imo. And cp3 and harden is better playmaker than anyone on golden state and that's not taking anything away from golden state they have some good ones in curry and green but harden and Paul are special in that department.
THIS EXACTLY!!! Like you said, if we get Melo, and put him in place of Anderson .... That's crazy scoring. Look how many open 3's Ryno had. Going to be fun to watch.
