    Remember when everyone was freaking out about Carmelo being the 64th best player in the NBA?

    Huge difference. Melo is a career chucker with a cancer like attitude and Ryno has no ego and knows his role. Melo would have demanded shots and would have been a destructive force like he has been all his career.

    Turns out E'Twaun Moore is the best player in the NBA.

    He was #62. That is why it is stupid to trade Ryno + Gordon for Melo. Gordon alone is better than Melo.

    OKC fans have gotta be scared of him opting into that 28 million dollar payday next year.

    That my friend is a done deal and also why he won't accept coming off the bench. He still only cares about the money and his next contract.

    I’d be shocked if he didn’t...I don’t see any team really coveting him in free agency next summer, and he damn sure won’t be getting anything close to 28 mil as his annual salary

    I think his days as a starter on a good team could be done, he’s too inefficient offensively and not good enough defensively...Melo should be a role player now with the way he’s been looking this season, but still wants to play like he’s a star

    that can work off the bench where he can be the PF version of Jamal Crawford, but he won’t accept that

    Still believe this move is for playoff reasons
    However I wonder if it’s Westbrook
    Look at Victor O with the pacers looking like an all star

    There is no way in hell he opts out.
    I really don't think he is that stupid

    If you think unloading Anderson's 20 mill a year is hard. . . . next summer no one will want Melo's 28 mill. . . .

    He's completely untradable now and I suspect the Thunder will have to resign him as well after next season. He is going to pay miserably for selling out his chance with the Rockets and maybe our dodged bullet turns into LBJ. Pipe dreaming but we have a better future for sure than those isoclowns in OKMe.
