I think Portland decided to make this move to help them lose more games and race for the bottom with warriors.
Sounds like he will accept a bench role moreso than when he came here, that said he’s never been a good spot up shooter, he’s one year older and he sucks massively on defense so my guess is he will be the 2nd/3rd option on their second unit and likely will be riding the pine a lot this year. It’s a low risk low reward move by the Blazers that’ll probably last a little longer than the Rockets experiment but it is a little head-scratching.
if pippen took blazers to a western conference finals at the age of 39 then nothing is impossible for Carmelo! pippen almost beat lakers in a western conference finals at age of 38 or 39!
you know Carmelo wants to make a Houston debut on Monday! you a fool if you don't think melo ready for rockets on Monday!
Melo contract not guaranteed so obviously for him and his future he would need to make an immediate statement to turn some heads to get signed!
Carmelo scored 25 points with 8 rebounds to lead Portland to a 117 to 94 win over Chicago.He was 10 of 20 in shots taken. Why couldnt he do that for the Rockets?
