I'll die a little on the inside if Melo comes here.

Guess Im the only one who doesnt think this a terrible idea. Melo would never come here, so it doesnt matter, but I actually think we might struggle some offensively when Jrue is off the court.

And in this case, we would struggle offensively when Melo is on the court. Hard pass for me.

Need to preface this by stating that it is written by David Grubb. That way everyone knows it is not worth clicking.

I’m with you. Guy made over 170 threes last year and avg 17 points per game if I recall correctly. His issue is he is no longer an elite player.

If Melo would accept that he’s not the same player he was years ago and come off the bench, he’d be great for a lot of teams. He’s a solid 3 point shooter and scorer, just not a starter. Seems he’ll go the way of Iverson though

I would let Melo start every game next season if he wanted to come here.

He can shoot all the 3s that get kicked out to him and all I would want is just he play average defense.

Our other option is to start Hill at SF who has a ton to prove for that position.

The other option is Moore who I think would be better coming off the bench anyways.

He would definitely make this team better and kind of a scary matchup.

Post ACL surgery Cousins, at that.

Anybody who thinks he would help this team more than hurt it doesn't understand basketball. They might understand 2K, but not actual basketball.

If you’re considering Melo, you may as well kick the tires on DWade.

No. You shouldn't.

When you are looking for role players, you are looking for fit... not raw talent.

Which is why Jerami Grant was infinitely better for OKC last year than Melo. Does Melo have more talent? A LOT more. But more talent does not equal a better team.

OKC just got a ton better by getting rid of him. Classic addition by subtraction.

Top 3 seed next year
