That's exactly what will happen. Knowing CP3 needs to be satisfied to have his boys around him, Morey gets scared to unload one of our many mediocre system players. I don't blame CP3 if he leaves. This Roster looks pretty much like his Hornets roster + Harden.
We severely overate Capella sometimes. He's growing into his own. However he has to play over 25 min a game to be more effective. Losing out on Carmelo was a big mistake by Morey. Hopefully it's a blessing in disguise. Harden and Paul wont be enough to beat GSW. Daryl said that himself after trading for Chris. And now we are in jeopardy of losing Chris paul after gutting our team to get him. The NBA is in love with the Thunder right now and are forcing any star player there for pennies on the dollar. It's obvious they don't want to see us winning.
The salt in this thread is funny. "Melo isnt that good anyways" "Melo is just getting older" "Ryan Anderson is still a good player" Its ok guys, OKC probably won't be OKC after they lose to the Warriors in the playoffs.
Oh? Only + an MVP caliber player putting up HOF numbers, no big deal. Only + the best player he's ever played with.
This ain't NBA2K18 What's Westbrook done? Chunker who has his players conceed rebounds to him. Go look at any advanced metrics, playoffs or regular season, cp3 is way more efficient and effective. Go look please
yup. Only one bad contract left and if they tank they have also their firsts coz they are protected I think. I don't understand what's with Presti. Other teams don't feel intimidated by them coz it will only be for one year and they give him away players for trash? While they know if they trade them to Houston they can create a championship contender for years? Presti used to suck in trades and be good at drafting but lately is the exact opposite.
You should see my posts before last season when everyone was freaking out that all we got was Anderson and Gordon. See my posts before we got Melo. I only wanted to replace Ryno. That's it. I wasn't in the mindset that Melo was going to make us a super team, just a higher probability (that is still small) to beat the Warriors...oh, and we unload a bad contract.
George, Cousins, Westbrook, Durant, Thomas, DeAndre, Aldridge...problem is we will still need to unoload Anderson to sign a max player.
Melo is going to be better than what most people are use to seeing. He was happy with just being in New York with the money. Now he's extremely motivated to win. Lost a lot of weight, been working out like crazy during the off season. He's going to have a great year and I wish it was with the Rockets. OKC was the worst case scenario.
They need more help. Most ppl really overrate some of our players . ARIZA GORDON ANDERSON CAPELA TUCKER Average Players.
So with this how much money will NY have tied up in Centers? They also want to play Porzingis at C. LOL.
Ariza should have been traded regardless of friendships. I wouldn't have given up CAPELA but he is a restricted free agent next summer. Also big men are easily replaceable in the NBA now. Perimeter stars are the wave.
