    Quality starter, will have better shot selection, be set up better from Paul n harden, will show flash’s of old melo, will have a few terrible games here n there where he goes off the rails.

    Overall will be crucial to our success

    Y’all can feel free to come back and like this comment when I’m right

    We did that with ryan Anderson and they are essentially the same BMI.

    I bet Melo has a CP-like performance year but doesnt make on the All-Star team. Mark it

    How many talented players has CP3 let fail? I'm banking on that.

    Is there an option for "NBA execs play hardball until September and Melo ends up on yet another irrelevant team after 3102 Clutchfans threads"?

    Thunder had a top 10 defense with Melo on the court last season.

    I wonder how many Melo threads we'll get before his signing, then how many announcing his signing, and then how many after his signing.

    I have a feeling OKC will pull a NY Knicks and refuse to waive Melo demanding they get something in return for a player they eventually didn't want

    Me too. Difference is OKC is playing with much more fire with the regards to the size of their payroll.

    We are underestimating just how poor Tilman really is.

    Eat at Landry's for goodness sake!

    Catching passes from Harden and CP3 is a lot different than catching them from Westbrook.

    His shot will improve and the media will just say it’s because Melo wasn’t trying in OKC
