    I don't know man... Melo may think Miami and BFF Wade could do it. Riley and Spolstra. Can't count them out.

    If he goes to Miami it's to wear those neon uniforms. Who can blame him?

    Those Miami Vice unis are the best in the entire league IMO.

    They should switch to those full time.

    The only thing I see "odd" about this is if they want Melo off the bench who is going to take Ariza's spot in the starting lineup? Is Tucker sliding to the 3 and Ryno to the 4? That can definitely work but how successful it can be is a different story. Both Ryno and Melo's defense is poor but of the two I feel Melo has better athleticism on the perimeter and switches on defense.

    It's because The Otto Porter Movement will come into fruition.

    Capela
    Tucker
    Porter
    Harden
    CP3

    Melo

    this is where we're supposed to let DM do his thing and find a 3 and D wing to fill the void Ariza/LMM left that are by many posts categorized as "easily replaceable"

    based on recent comments, that could take as long as the deadline

    You mean - CP, Ego and Melo with the 2nd unit.
    That's pretty much an All-Star trio.
    CP is typically running the offense when James is resting

    Morey basically said as much today........ he didn't sound like someone that felt it was a terribly difficult role to fill.

    its not. theres plenty of mediocre players can be plugged in but the question is are they fully capable of being that type of contributor on a nightly basis and against the team to beat

    Am I wrong? Hey, at least LaLa actually has something to offer. And it's better than an Instagram "model" type most NBA players get.


    Lebron James and Russell Westbrook did things right with their spousal decisions.

    I don't know, I guess we will find out.

    I still think that we may see Anderson dealt for a 3.

    Yeah Melo is one of the most delusional players in the NBA, he can't understand why he is such a bad player at this juncture in his career. He thinks he's still a starter. This is the guy that the Rockets are desperate to add, btw.
