They thought Melo would be coming with him; I don’t think Morrey bothers trading for CP3 all by himself if he knew Melo would wind up in OKC instead. Especially since he now has to play the “Max him or not” game with an injury prone PG on the wrong side of 30 after this season.
Of course he does. Morey doesn’t give a damn about fit when it comes to adding a star.

If that's the case then why didn't he pull the trigger in the Melo trade when they wanted Ego involved? if we throw in Eric Gordon; Melo is a Rocket today.


Morey cares more about chemistry now then he did years ago.

Here's a hot take for y'all. Clint Capela's been the best 5 in the West this season & should be an All-Star. :hubie:

Unlike Noel's bum ass he's actually significantly elevated his play in a contract year. His touch around the rim has significantly improved, he's shooting 70% from the line, he's become a monster on the boards, he's an elite rim protector now, his conditioning is much improved, he's stronger/bulkier which has led better post D & he actually outplays many of these bigs considered better than him this year. :sas2:

Eric Gordon lowkey being a Top 3 SG is a debate for another day. :ohlawd:
Nah bruh, Cousins been better. Cousins and Harden are 1a/1b in the MVP so far. I'd still take a healthy Gobert over Capella.

Capela was a deer in headlights once Nene went down in the playoffs but I'm happy with the strives he made. His stamina and condition improvements are very noticeable. I just need to see him do this over the course of the season before I fully accept his progress as solidified. We seen this before. Remember that poison contract we gave Calvin Cato that set us back years
