It’s not just them, a lot of people have been conditioned to hate Melo and don’t even know why. They let the media feed them bs and they just went along without questioning it.
Glad my guy back and doing his thing, you can tell he’s out there having fun
A lot of the cacs and clowns who were hating on Melo won’t ever come in this thread ... but wait until he has a couple bad games and they’ll all be back. Bunch of hoe ass nikkas
Glad Melo is byke

Your trash as a poster so why would anyone else be happy that you post here?
He’s in a good situation offensively playing with Dame and CJ.
Really no reason he shouldn’t have been able to have had the same success in Houston. And probably would have gotten a ring if they could have made it work.

CP3 and Harden were both injured during his 11 games there. Also Morey anayltics friends were hating and Dantoni / assistant coach Jeff Bzedlik past beef with Melo poisoned the well
I dont think he was ever washed up. He was just not motivated. And him not being motivated may have caused him to look and play like he was washed up.
But now he has something to prove. He has a chip on his shoulder and he found a team of his choosing that would give him a chance.

I havent seen this man making quick decisions like this since the Denver years

He's definitely in the best place, media-wise, for this comeback.
If he does well, it'll be reported. If he bombs, it's not as if the Blazers get too much coverage anyway (especially with the Battle for LA and decline of the Warriors happening out west).

Carmelo Anthony’s Trainer Talks Adjustment To Current NBA
November 30th, 2019 at 9:23am CST • By Mark Suleymanov
After the Trail Blazers inked Carmelo Anthony to a non-guaranteed deal, his year-long absence from the NBA ended but it remained to be seen what he had left. The early results have been positive as Anthony has shown flashes of the ability that made him a likely Hall-of-Famer.
Anthony, 35, is averaging 17.7 PPG and 6.0 RPG through six games for Portland with the team going 3-3 during that stretch. The 10-time All-Star has had some strong performances, including a 25-point outing against the Bulls on Monday and 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting versus the Thunder on Wednesday.
It was a tumultuous journey for Anthony before his return, as his trainer Alex Bazzell detailed to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News. Bazzell spoke to Anthony’s in-game adjustments on both sides of the ball and the perception higher-ups had of his value versus the distraction he might be.
Check out some highlights:
Bazzell on Anthony changing his playing style:
“He’s gone 95% of his career where he’s been able to catch the ball, turn, face, have time. He’s never really been the guy that’s setting a ton of ball screens and popping and making quick decisions. So it’s new for him. But it’s something he worked extremely hard on. He understands. He’s not the type of guy who is bullheaded the way people want to portray him. He understands he has to adjust his game for the new style and he’s got to make some sacrifices to be on a team and contribute the way a team wants him to and he wants to.”
On his conversations with higher-ups about Anthony’s value:
“I had talked to a couple assistant GMs and GMs and the whole thing was that it wasn’t about his play. It wasn’t even about him personally. But it was about the media attention that was going to follow him, like the questions that were going to come every day: Is he happy? Is he getting enough shots? Is he good in the role he’s in? So a lot of teams that, not to his fault, they just thought it was too much of a media distraction to have to deal with early in the season. I think the whole mystique of ‘Melo hurt him.”
