    don't think there's any melo trade talk until houston is recovered at least around 80% from the harvey.

    If Klay cancels out Harden we lose. Harden is our one clear cut advantage over the warriors: He has to significantly out play Mr/ Overrated (Klay) for us to have a chance:

    don't think CP3 and Melo signed up to join someone who gets simply "cancelled out" by Klay Thompson

    Exactly that won't happen with Harden having CP3 and Melo with him on the court.

    morey will pull the trigger the second new york is ready regardless of the progress of houston's recovery

    Any houston area sports fan will view it as good news whether or not their house is flooded.

    CP3 will be lucky if he can cancel out Steph
    Melo will be luckier if he can cancel out Dray

    its actually up to Harden to cancel out Durant

    heck even Ego on his best has a chance to cancel out Klay

    If
    If Sergr Ibaka can cancel Draymond out I'm sure Melo could.

    i think you're underestimating Draymond. GSW will be a completely different team without him.

    If Serge Ibaka cancelled Dray out then why was he traded for Oladipo and change?

    Klay has canceled out harden several times before as he is a good teo way player. He is streaky and harden sometimes does a bad job leaving him open.

    The same reason why Harden was traded to us.

    But seriously Carmelo Anthony would outplay Draymond Green that's a mismatch but Durant vs Melo is more of a battle. I like Draymond tho.

    The question is do we have enough firepower outside of heart and to keep up with the best team. You cant expect harden to be on every game. Assuming we get melo, it is

    Melo, cp3, ego
    Vs
    Curry, durant, iggy

    I thinkk capela and dray cancel each other out because of our ability to match up with dray and their inability to match up with capela. Unless they put green at the 5.

    Harden had more of a Eric Gordon type role back then... i bet he averaged like 16 points back then. Granted he showed up big against the Spurs that year in a limited role.
