    No, I don't mind the experiment at all. But it's just another hit to our depth because the Chriss and MCW experiments have failed and Nene died. Thank goodness for Gary Clark.

    I think the people who say the experiment wasn't worth it are acting like they've been personally slighted by Melo. Clearly he's a loser but reports were that he was fine in the locker room and I'm not going to lose sleep over it, not do I have a need to bash other Clutchfans to soothe my rage.

    See it more positive.

    In 2015 they fired someone after 11 games, now they just let a minimum contract go wherever it wants.

    It seems that Knight and nene "die".

    Melo, Chriss and MCW failed.

    YOLO's a troll & thinks he's smarter than he is in real life. I don't take anything he posts seriously.

    As far as MDA, he's been known to hold grudges. You bring in a guy for the vet minimum, knowing his deficiencies, then cut him cold turkey after 10 games with the WHOLE team collectively playing horrific. Should've never signed the guy

    Everything Fertitta buys turns to ****. The anti-Midas touch. The only thing keeping him going is that people keep lining up to buy buckets of ****.

    It's no more more of a creation than the idea that D'Antoni wants one of his own players to suck. D'Antoni is expected to get to WCF or bust, according to his owner. No one has any motivation for Melo to fail. They want him to be as awesome as possible.

    My preseason predictions:
    1) Melo would return to his 2014 form since he'd playing with Harden and Paul
    2) Chriss would give us 48 minutes of lob city
    3) Knight would be eating into EG's PT.

    I don't think it was intentional but I think DAntoni had all the power in this situation
    which he did not in NY . . .and he was d*mn sure going to use it . . . I think petty is the wrong word
    I think inflexible is probably closer to the right one

    It's nuts to think MDA played Melo 29 minutes a game as part of a grudge somehow, trying to make his 29 minutes suck in fulfillment of a grudge. MDA's expected to get to the WCF minimum this year. 29 minutes a game? For a grudge?

    Going to piggy back off this and say something came down to Jeff B as well. Funny thing we get melo and then he retires
    Melo goes out with the announcement of Jeff B return
    Jeff B coming back Melo gone
