I agree fully... Bzdelik quit bc of Melo (Denver) MDA was lost on D - and wasnt using Melo correctly anyway... so Morey struck the deal for Bzdelik's return - if he kicked Melo out... Melo was done dirty - for his past indiscretions... idk why people are so resistant to accepting this... look at the time lines... Common sense... CP3 and Harden lobby for Melo for months - then we're gonna jus toss him aside afer 10 games? and harden didnt even play in 3 of them... The guy (quoting Morey) "did everything the coaches asked of him..." Read between the lines folks... My only question is how much of this fiasco is impacting CP3's play... and the lack of defensive attentiveness after Bzdelik's return... We prob didnt waive him bc Morey agreed to work out an agreeable landing spot - as opposed to letting just anybody pick him up off the waiver wire... "fit"...lol.. sure... I mean why would we want a post up option when those 3s are falling at such a high percentage... and we all know Clint has such a variety of moves in the post that he can create his own shot all day... lol Ps: not hating on CC - he does a lot of things well - but he's not a guy you dump the ball to down low and have him make something happen... but based on the rate of Melo hate on this board... Jeff and MDA aint the only guys he's pissed off over the years...lol
Melo and his camp are going to squawk more and more to get traded or waived....especially as we get closer to the trading deadline. Ignore it.
MDA “wasn’t using Melo correctly?” LOL. He was literally only asked to come in and score. And he wasn’t good at that. What exactly would be “using him correctly?” Almost any scrub in the NBA could say they would be successful if only they were used correctly. Hell, I could be successful in the NBA if a team would “use me correctly” by holding me up in the air right next to the rim and throwing me alley oops. Sure, it would be 5 on 3 on defense, but I would score a lot of points.
Eh, Melo is a perfect fit in LA as he already plays defense with his hands behind his back, marriage made in heaven.
thats the 1 line you chose to focus on? ...lol..ok... Melo wouldve been most advantageous as a post up option or some short shots in or around the paint - not as a 3 pt chucker.... He coulda been the guy to balance out the offense to keep the defense honest and make them cover that entire end of the court - not just the rim and the 3 pt line... Otherwise, working down low and banging the boards... If given more than 10 games (with harden missing 3 of the 10), I think he coulda been acclimated - but oh well, it is what it is... we move on...
