You're making it seem like Portland was cool with how things turned out. They have good coaching to make up for what they lost (low expectations also helps out)

They shifted their offense because they had to, not because they wanted to show they needed Aldridge. Regardless, this doesn't compare to Melo even if you believe PPG is overrated

Aldridge is a good player(and better than Melo obviously), but wasnt a max guy imo...but replacing him with cheaper guys like Plumlee and Davis were both solid moves. Blazers are in a good spot.

1. It was out of necessity.

2. Long tern it's something they have to upgrade. In reality, they have a Lillard. Melo IS your Lillard until Porzingis is ready

They could have brought back Lopez and or Affalo, who the Knicks decided to pick the tab up on instead. Luckily Lopez has been surprisingly solid....Affalo is useless.

Either way, there was zero reason to give Melo a max deal with a NTC. Dolan is an idiot.

He had 1 reason. Understandable even.

Rebuilding sucks so much and it's hard to charge pro prices for Westchester Knicks basketball.

They've sucked throughout Melos tenure as a Knick. He's not selling suites anymore. People will show up to that building no matter what.

Rambis only gave KP 25 minutes. Best thing he's done yet.

he needed foul trouble to get it right :snoop:

Melo has no common sense on and off the court

His decision making today was god awful at times and he got blocked by the rim today.

Someone needs to tell Melo to him to a team that can send the Knicks Picks Melo..... Ain't nothing here for him no more but :scust:

I bet he becomes a better teams version of Zbo. Old player who still got it.
