ScoopB is full of shyt 98% of the time

Melo can still get buckets but he’s beyond cooked defensively. Basically Jabari with 3 point range

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

melo don't really fit the "defense 1st" approach

Tbf Gallo ain’t exactly a strong defender either

Not sure what other vet forwards are out there at this point that could play a similar role. This sucks

 

[KevCo]

fukk it….lets get melo…whats the vet minimum? 2.6? If we can lets try to swing that

 

[UpAndComing]

Un-fukking-believable

 

[SchoolboyC]

Lowkey I’d happy to just bring my guy J-Rich back from San Antonio to be a backup 3 and let Grant get all the backup 4 minutes but Wyc ain’t gonna go that deep into the tax

 

[UpAndComing]

THIS IS WHY they should have used the $17 mill TPE. I called it months ago. Can't believe they didn't use it

 

[Avisible Man]

From bad to worse. I expected this old paisan to help take the wear and tear off the bigs in the regular season so they would be fresher in the playoffs. Now, he's the one with wear and ACL tears before the season starts. fukkin Gallinoknee. Them sickos on Reddit are saying "we already have Gallo's replacement on the roster: Sam Hauser." They can't help themselves.

Hauser has never played any type of meaningful minutes before

I just looked at the list of available free agents. Melo is as good as it’ll get

They still have TPEs from the Juancho & Schroder trades but even then you’re looking at options like Rudy Gay or Mo Harkless

I'll take Melo come in and give me 13 off the bench, stick a couple 3's and grab a few boards. Like u said, it ain't like Gallinoknee was some defensive stalwart.

There's always Daniel Theis again, for the 3rd time. U know Brad wants to do it. Bring him home.

So Gallinari, at 34, decided trying to win Euro Basket was more important than competing for an NBA championship.
He has an option for next year and he'll probably return as a gimp and shell of his former self. I had a feeling he would go into free agency next year to get a bigger contract. Now we are stuck with his carcass for 2 years instead, taking up a roster spot. Gordon Hayward light.

We could still apply for a designated player exception and sign a player for up to 3.2 mil. I have my doubts that the league will allow us to get another player. So we will have a roster of 14 players.

If Tatum was able to gain weight and strength this off season, and develop an inside game instead of working with that faggy shooting coach just doing step back jumpers, Gallo's loss won't be as bad.

Cac carcass. Cacass?

 

[JBone4eva]

Sign Melo. Why not.

I would split Gallo's mins with him and Hauser, Hauser is going to have to get some burn at some point. I honestly have faith in him if he stays in his lane as a standstill spot up shooter. He's def a better defender than Gallo
