they talking about Jabari Bird the reason the wont commit long term to Mahhcuss....

Spurs just know how to play the game...Anderson is clearly a system player, why over pay him when you can give Bertans half that money...

Nah they would have to make a few moves

NBA Trade Machine - ESPN + pick

Atlanta gets space to sign Capela and Lakers get a starting center. Deng can be bought out after the season:manny:

Hawks would never do this though:mjlol:
Lol dog. We ain't taking Deng without Ball or Ingram.

Deng one of them nikkas who just ain't gonna be moved unless it's for Biyombo or Mozzy. Maybe Anderson

OKC never game melo a role in their offense.

yall don't even have an offense.

I wonder who the fall guy is gonna be in OKC after next year's 1st round exit.

His role was 3rd option on offense (same as it would be in Houston) & be a spacer who could knock down shots (same as it would be in Houston). The Rockets aren't going to stand around taking the ball out of Harden & CP3s hands, throwing the ball to Melo so he can hold the ball jabstepping 47 times before firing up a midrange shot or if he actually gets by his defender that he'll more than likely miss & have to go in there attepting a putback that will have a unusually high chance of also missing.

Melo played 84 games (including playoffs) last season, 43 times he had the same number or more of shots than points. About 56% of his shots were open or wide open by NBA standards (even though somehow through pure magic he'll get easier shots than this because people don't like Russy) & he shot worse on those than when somebody was right on him. Nevermind his defense was bad against slower 4s, Houston might have him on 3s.

Wtf is Houston doing? They let Ariza and Luc walk, they really trying to run melo and MCW against Durant/Klay/Draymond?

Morey gave CP3 that deal we know is gonna be bad soon to compete for titles. Now they’re tightening the purse strings on key role players, lowballing Capella to the point he’s gonna resent the franchise, wtf?
